The Problem

Your Service Advisors Are Doing the Wrong Work

The average service advisor spends 40% of their day on status calls, appointment reminders, and follow-up texts. That's time that could be spent recommending additional services, building customer trust, and closing more repair orders.

GDS Virtual Service Attendant automates the entire communication lifecycle of a service visit — from pre-appointment reminders to in-progress status updates to post-visit satisfaction surveys — freeing your advisors to focus entirely on customer-facing selling and relationship building.
