IDS RV & Powersports Dealer Manager RV / Boat / Motorcycle Sales

The Problem

RV / Boat / Motorcycle Sales trade-in appraisals depend on guides + recon estimates — but the salesperson and used car manager don't always agree, and the customer notices delays.

What We Build in IDS

AI generates the trade appraisal from Lightspeed DMS VIN + condition photos, including reconditioning estimate and target ACV — appraisal time drops from 30 minutes to 5. Purpose-built for teams running IDS — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

2

Build on the IDS API or agent

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in IDS with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
