Automotive CRM compatibility

Dealerships still need a dependable integration path when a modern vendor API is unavailable.

Automotive ADF/XML remains a practical standard for moving customer, source, vehicle, trade, appointment, and assignment data between lead providers and dealership CRMs.

01

Receive automotive leads in a familiar format.

TECOBI can parse customer, source, vehicle, and trade data from compatible ADF/XML lead providers.

02

Deliver worked leads to the dealership CRM.

CRM-ready ADF/XML can carry contact details, vehicle interest, appointment context, and salesperson assignment.

03

Protect the existing lead route.

Pass-through workflows include duplicate suppression and loop protection so TECOBI can work beside the dealership's existing delivery process.

Vendor-neutral bridge

A compatibility workflow should preserve data without creating loops or duplicate records.

TECOBI can receive compatible ADF/XML, match the customer, work the lead, and generate CRM-ready delivery while protecting the dealership's existing route.

  • Inbound parsing keeps customer and vehicle context attached to the lead.
  • Outbound delivery can include appointment and salesperson assignment context.
  • Duplicate suppression and loop protection reduce avoidable CRM noise.
