Take on the giants from one rooftop
Carvana sells a car every 39 seconds and never needed a showroom to do it. Ekho lets your store answer just as fast and finish the deal online too, on your own brand, from first message to plates at the buyer's door.

Every 39 seconds, Carvana sells a car you could have sold
197,325 cars last quarter, up 38% in a year, with no showroom and no lot. They have told investors the plan is 4 times that.
None of it needs anything a dealer cannot have. It needs one buying experience that finishes the deal online. Ekho gives your store the same buying experience on your own brand, with your inventory and your lenders.
See it on your inventoryNew cars are next. Seven Stellantis franchises bought. One turned into the top-selling Chrysler-Jeep-Ram-Dodge store in the country.
Carvana reported results. Q2 2026. Their 3M goal is stated for 2030 to 2035; the chart shows the near end. Running total projected from their reported pace.
THE VALUE
What changes at a single rooftop
- 01
No lead goes unanswered
Around 30% of dealership leads never get a reply and over half get nothing within a day. Ekho answers in under five seconds over web chat and SMS, qualifies the buyer, and books the appointment, including at 2 AM on a Sunday.
- 02
The deal finishes online
Financing across multiple lenders, F&I, taxes, titling, registration, and signatures all complete in the flow. Your team stops chasing paperwork and your title clerk stops processing every packet by hand.
- 03
You sell past your market area
Compliant checkout in all 50 states turns an out-of-state buyer from a problem into a normal order. Most Ekho buyers choose delivery even when they live near the store.

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 gives us the infrastructure to take what we've built regionally and offer it to riders across the country.”
“The difference wasn't incremental — it's redefining how our team interacts with inbound.”
“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.”
“Together with Ekho, we make it easier for customers to discover the right bike, secure financing, and complete the paperwork from anywhere, even when the store is physically closed.”

Yes. Start with whichever solves your biggest pain point — Sales Agent, Transaction Engine, or Website. Most customers start with the Sales Agent since it's the fastest to get integrated, while the Transaction Engine may have a waitlist depending on integration scheduling. Most dealerships find the products work better together, but you have complete flexibility to add them as you grow.
