CARVO

"One-Click Buying Without the Vending Machine."

A click-to-buy platform built for franchise dealerships. Customers structure their full deal online: financing, trade-in, down payment, and income, before they ever walk in the door. The showroom gets a pre-qualified buyer. The customer gets to skip the dog and pony show.

What Is CARVO

The buying experience modern shoppers demand, without dismantling the dealership.

Carvana proved consumers will buy cars online. What they didn't solve is the market that actually moves metal: the 17,000 franchise dealerships that sell 85% of new vehicles in the U.S. Those stores have F&I departments, physical inventory, test drives, and manufacturer compliance requirements. You can't swap them out with a vending machine.

CARVO plugs directly into the existing dealership workflow. Customers use the CARVO widget on the dealer's VDP to start their deal before they arrive, selecting a vehicle, entering financing preferences, disclosing a trade-in, and confirming income. By the time they walk in, the deal is half-structured and the customer already feels like they won.

The F&I desk still closes. The floor still gets the test drive. And the customer tells their friends they "didn't have to sit in the box for three hours."

  • Embeds on any dealer VDP A single link on the vehicle detail page launches the CARVO flow. No DMS integration required to go live. Pass vehicle data as URL parameters.
  • Full deal-structure wizard Customers walk through financing type, down payment, desired payment, trade-in details, employment, income, and co-buyer. All before the first handshake.
  • 100-point F&I lead score Every submission is scored across credit readiness, financial strength, deal intent, and profile completeness, using the same signals an F&I desk uses to triage a deal.
  • Dealer dashboard & CRM pipeline Leads land in a Kanban pipeline. Status, score, vehicle interest, trade-in, income: everything visible before the first call. No lost leads in a DMS field that no one checks.
  • Inventory sync API Push inventory from vAuto, CDK, or Reynolds via REST API. JSON, CSV, and standard automotive XML supported. Full-lot nightly syncs via ?full_sync=true.
How It Works

Four steps. Zero pressure.

The customer does the work upfront. The dealer gets a pre-structured deal. Everyone walks away feeling like they won.

01

Click on the VDP

A "Build My Deal" button on the dealer's vehicle page launches the CARVO flow, pre-loaded with the vehicle details, price, and stock number.

02

Customer Structures the Deal

Financing type, down payment, desired monthly payment, trade-in information, employment status, income, and co-buyer. All captured in a clean, mobile-optimized wizard.

03

Dealer Gets a Scored Lead

The submission hits the dealer dashboard instantly, scored on 100 points across four F&I dimensions. Hot leads float to the top. The desk knows exactly what they're walking into.

04

Showroom Closes the Deal

The customer drives in already feeling like they did it their way. F&I still has their pitch. The floor still gets the test drive. The deal closes faster, with less friction on both sides.

Built For

Two sides of the same deal.

The Dealer

Your F&I desk, pre-loaded.

CARVO doesn't replace your process. It front-loads it. Every lead that comes through the platform has already disclosed what a finance manager would spend 45 minutes extracting on the floor.

  • Live pipeline with lead scores and vehicle interest
  • Trade-in details, payoff, and condition upfront
  • Income, employment, and co-buyer status captured
  • Credit and TCPA consent collected at submission
  • Inventory sync from your existing DMS or tool
The Customer

Arrive holding all the cards.

The tech-savvy car buyer doesn't want to be worked. They want to come in already knowing what they're paying, what their trade is worth, and what their payment looks like. CARVO gives them that, and then the dealer gives them the rest.

  • Structure your full deal before the first handshake
  • No surprise rate markups. You walked in pre-structured
  • Still get the test drive, the real experience, the warranty pitch
  • Feel like you beat the system, because you kind of did
