THE VALUE
What changes for an OEM with a dealer network
- 01
Your dealers receive buyers, not forms
A lead arrives qualified, with the conversation and the vehicle interest attached, routed to the dealer who can fulfill it. The dealer picks up a conversation already in progress instead of starting cold.
- 02
Nobody waits for business hours
Shoppers on your brand get an answer in seconds over web chat and SMS, at any hour and in the languages you enable.
- 03
You can see the whole funnel
One view of demand, response time, conversion, and dealer performance, whether the conversation started on your corporate site or a dealer site.
Put your agent on every dealer in the network
An OEM program brings the Sales Agent to your dealers at a rate they would not get on their own. Your corporate site reads each participating dealer’s own agent configuration, so a buyer asking on your brand gets answered against that store’s live inventory, in that store’s voice, and the conversation is forwarded to them with everything the buyer said attached.
See how programs work- Network-wide rates your dealers would not reach individually
- Your corporate site answers from a dealer’s own inventory and configuration
- Qualified conversations forwarded to the dealer who can fulfil them

How the industry is moving with Ekho
Dealers closing more deals. Groups scaling without adding headcount. Teams selling long after the doors are locked. These are the businesses that rewired how they sell with Ekho.
“Ekho gave us a compliant way to sell online—but more importantly, it works. We're seeing best-in-class ROAS and improving conversion month over month.”
“Setting up a fully compliant online channel in the US is near impossible, but Ekho made it easy. Their platform let us spin up a Tesla-like checkout in a few weeks.”
“We're now moving volume through our Ekho-powered online channel, and it's getting more efficient every month.”
“That's why I committed so heavily to Ekho... Look at the dominant position Carvana has had... Their competitors have two options: it's either adapt or die. I chose to adapt.”
“The difference wasn't incremental — it's redefining how our team interacts with inbound.”
“Ekho is the future, and you can either join it or get run over by it.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Web chat and SMS, with shared conversation memory across both, so a buyer who starts on your website and continues by text is one conversation rather than two.
No. It installs on your existing site and is typically live in days, so nothing about your current setup has to change first.
It escalates into a unified inbox as an action item carrying the full conversation, so your team can take over live mid-thread, pause the agent, and mark it resolved. You decide what the agent is allowed to handle on its own.
Dealers win on both fronts. Your corporate site routes qualified leads to the nearest dealer and surfaces their inventory. Buyers on dealer sites complete purchases there. Either way, dealers earn full margin and F&I revenue.
