In this video, we show you whats “Lucky” can do for you and how he works:

By integrating soft-nrg’s (software solution for car dealers) appointment scheduling solution into the WhatsApp Chatbot “Lucky”, car dealerships can make appointments via WhatsApp even more efficiently. An automated agent (Chatbot) asks the customer in the WhatsApp chat all the information required by the car dealership (name, license plate number, vehicle type, desired repair services, etc.) and offers the best possible appointments for selection based on this. By linking the WhatsApp channel to the dealership’s appointment management tool, the customer always receives the latest available appointments and can book them directly with binding effect. All without manual effort on the part of the dealership.

With the dovetailing of our WhatsApp chatbot for car dealerships “Lucky” with the appointment scheduling solution from soft-nrg, WhatsApp becomes even more attractive for numerous car dealerships. With this the Degree of automation is increased again and the Car Dealer saves valuable resources.

Volkswagen Frankfurt: Making appointments via Chatbot

Lucky – the car dealership chatbot – also provides first level support at Volkswagen in Frankfurt! Customers are asked for the most important data and information (FAQ query), e.g. whether they are already a customer. Once the type of appointment and the appointment itself have been confirmed, the bot hands over to the appropriate employee in the WhatsApp chat.

Autohaus Ostermaier: Lead pre-qualification via chatbot

Autohaus Ostermaier has adapted Lucky for the use of WhatsApp in its sales. At the dealership group with over 5 locations, customers can contact them directly from an offer on the website via WhatsApp. In the process, the offer details are automatically sent along. This means that customers no longer have to type in details, of the offer they are interested in themselves. Once the first message has been sent, the chatbot asks for the customer’s full name and then passes it on to the sales team.

Contacts pre-qualified by the chatbot are transferred directly to our CRM and assigned to an agent.

How do I promote my WhatsApp car dealership chatbot Lucky?

WhatsApp does not offer any option for advertising. However, the user must always write first – only then may the car dealership respond (see: GDPR & WhatsApp ). Car dealerships must therefore advertise their WhatsApp service externally so that existing or future customers contact them via WhatsApp!
