Frequently Asked Questions

Will BLiNK AI work with our existing systems?

Will BLiNK AI work with our existing systems?

Yes. BLiNK AI is integrated with all of the major DMS and service schedulers.

Will BLiNK AI replace our current service scheduler (xTime, Dealer-FX etc)?

No. BLiNK AI works with your current systems. Your dealership will not have to change processes or learn a new system. BLiNK AI just enhances those systems by bringing in more appointments, more customers and with much better load distribution. Your service department will be full all day- not overloaded in the morning and slow in the afternoon.

Will BLiNK AI overbook our time slots?

No. BLiNK AI can see all of the appointments that have been set by your BDC and will not overbook a time slot. You set the number of appointments you want throughout the day and BLiNK AI will fill up the calendar.

I notice that there is no way to select a particular service advisor.

YES. BLiNK AI does this automatically. For example: If you allow 3 appointments per hour, and 2 of those appointments are already booked for advisor A and advisor B, then BLiNK AI will book the 3rd appointment for advisor C. BLiNK AI also has a “Preferred Advisor” feature. The system will look at the previous ROs and automatically book the appointment with the advisor the customer has worked with before.
