Module 01 · LiveAutoCurb is shipping today · tour the first floor

We're rebuilding the dealership stack.

Rooftop is the operating system the dealer-tech industry should have shipped twenty years ago — modular, AI-native, dealer-data first. Four modules planned. AutoCurb is live today.

  • Built by dealership operators
  • AI-native, not bolted on

The dealership stack

It hasn't really moved
in twenty years.

The average dealership runs 18–25 vendor logins. Sales, service, parts, finance, BDC — each on its own system. Data lives in silos. AI is bolted on. Reports require Excel. The operators we built this with kept telling us the same thing: “we know what good looks like — nobody's built it.”

18 – 25
vendor logins per rooftop

Vendor sprawl

DMS, CRM, inventory, valuation, photography, photos, marketing, BDC, finance, F&I, recon, wholesale — each a separate tool, each a separate login, none of them talking to each other.

$25k+
monthly tool spend

Locked DMS data

Customer history, deal data, service records — siloed inside CDK, Reynolds, Tekion, and Dealertrack. Accessible only via nightly extract and a prayer.

Bolted-on AI

Vendors slap 'AI' on top of decades-old workflows. Nothing is built on a shared model. Every question answered by re-keying data into another spreadsheet.

Rooftop is the operating system the dealership stack should have been. Modular. AI-native. Built on a single shared inventory and customer graph. One contract per rooftop. Four modules planned, the first one shipping today.

The Rooftop platform

AutoCurb is one floor.
Rooftop is the whole building.

We're building four modules that, together, replace the tangled mess of vendor logins, point solutions, and spreadsheets that runs most rooftops today. AutoCurb ships first because curb appeal sells cars. The next three are queued up — and they talk to each other from day one.

Built on a single inventory graphOne contract. One rooftop.

Carvana sources 31% of inventory direct · CarMax 87% · the avg dealer: less than 10%

The problem

Your inventory pipeline
is bleeding money.

Every auction buy costs $1,000–2,300 in fees and transport before you even recondition it. Meanwhile, your own customers are selling to Carvana. And the tools you have? They dump leads into email and call it a day.

$1K – $2.3K
lost per unit

Auction dependency

Auction fees ($500–1,500) + transport ($300–800) + recon surprises eat into already-compressed margins on every vehicle.

of trades lost

Losing your own customers

Your service customers — people who already trust you — are selling to CarMax and Carvana because you don't make it easy.

Duct-taped workflows

Generic vendor widgets dump leads into email. No tracking. No follow-up automation. No deal pipeline. Leads die in inboxes.

The platform · not a widget

One platform. Submission to check request.

Other tools give you a widget. AutoCurb gives you the entire acquisition engine — under your brand, on your domain, managed by your team, scaled to your volume.

3 channels, 1 pipeline

Off-street, service drive, and in-store trade — all feeding the same dashboard with full deal tracking from submission to check request.

AI photo re-appraisal

Gemini 2.5 Flash scores every uploaded photo. If the AI sees better condition than the customer claimed, the offer auto-bumps up to $2,500.

VIN barcode check-in

Walk to the customer's car. Point at the door-jamb. Decoded in under 500ms — iOS, Android, every browser. Inspection sheet pre-populates.

OBD-II live diagnostics

Plug an MFi BLE dongle. Mileage, fault codes, emissions status, and pad-wear on European brands — straight from the ABS module via Supabase Realtime.

10+ stage deal pipeline

New → Offer Sent → Accepted → Inspected → Approved → Check Requested. Role-based permissions enforced at the database level. Aging badges on every lead.

Equity mining + wholesale exit

Auto-revaluation when Black Book moves. Stale leads route to your inter-dealer marketplace. Cars you can't retail don't become sunk cost.

Trust, compliance & governance

Built for dealers who get audited.

Every customer interaction, every price change, every consent checkbox — captured, versioned, timestamped. One lawsuit costs more than ten years of AutoCurb subscriptions.

    Manual or AI-bumped offers carry a 'subject to inspection' disclosure on the customer's offer page, acceptance screen, and confirmation email — enforced at the database, not just the UI.

  • TCPA Consent Versioning

    Every consent pinned to a versioned text record. Bump the legal copy whenever it changes; prove exactly what a customer agreed to on any given day.

  • Activity Audit Trail

    Every status change, price edit, ACV adjustment, AI bump, and check request — signed and timestamped to the staff member who did it.

  • Pricing Access GateDB-enforced

    Cost-of-vehicle data — waterfall, deduction basis, wholesale spread — is gated by role at the database layer. Lock screen for non-privileged users.

  • Encryption + read-only DMS

    At-rest and in-transit encryption. Read-only DMS access by default. SSO and SCIM available on Group.

  • SOC 2 Type IIin progress
