Rupert AI

Meet Rupert. Ask your dealership anything.

Natural language questions, instant answers. Rupert knows your numbers because Rupert has your data. No report builder, no query language, no waiting.

What if you could just ask?

You're sitting in a 20-group meeting and someone asks what your back-end penetration rate was on used vehicles last quarter. Right now, that answer takes 10 minutes, a laptop, and three tabs. With Rupert, you type the question and get the answer in seconds. No report to build. No spreadsheet to open. No controller to call. Just ask.

Rupert is an AI assistant built into the Voltra dashboard. It reads your dealership data and answers questions in plain English. It's not a generic chatbot. It doesn't give you Wikipedia answers about the car business. It gives you YOUR numbers, YOUR inventory, YOUR managers' performance. Because it's connected to every data source in your Voltra dashboard, Rupert can answer questions that span across systems. What's the average front-end gross on units that sat more than 45 days? Which F&I manager has the best GAP penetration on used deals? Rupert can pull that together because the data is already unified.

Connected to your data
How are we doing this month compared to last month?
Through day 18, you've delivered 94 units vs. 82 at this point last month (+14.6%). Front-end gross avg is $2,847, up $340/copy. F&I PVR is $1,623, down $48 from last month. Your biggest gap is in GAP penetration — down from 38% to 29%. Might be worth checking with K. Thompson, whose GAP pen rate dropped the most.
Which aged units should I be worried about?
You have 14 units over 60 days. Three are over 90: a 2021 Tahoe (stock #4471, 97 days, priced $2,100 over market), a 2020 Accord (stock #4389, 103 days), and a 2022 F-150 (stock #4402, 91 days). The Tahoe and F-150 both have negative market trends — I'd recommend repricing or wholesaling this week.

Questions dealers actually ask Rupert

Rupert handles the same questions you'd ask your controller, your desk manager, or your F&I director. The difference is that Rupert already has the answer, and Rupert doesn't need to open six tabs to find it.

Why Rupert isn't just another chatbot

You've seen AI assistants. Most of them give generic answers based on general knowledge. Rupert is different because Rupert is connected directly to your data.

It knows YOUR numbers

Rupert doesn't give you industry averages or benchmark data. When you ask about PVR, you get your PVR. When you ask about inventory turn, you get your turn time. Every answer is based on the data flowing through your Voltra dashboard from DealerTrack, RouteOne, vAuto, and your DMS.

It knows YOUR managers

Ask Rupert who needs coaching and it'll tell you which specific manager is underperforming, on which metrics, and by how much. It's not a generic suggestion to "review your team's KPIs." It's a specific callout with specific numbers that you can act on today.

It speaks dealer, not tech

Rupert understands the language of the box. Front-end gross. Back-end pen rate. Products per deal. Aged inventory. Days to turn. You don't need to learn query syntax or build report templates. You ask a question the way you'd ask your controller, and Rupert answers the same way.

What Rupert means for your day-to-day

Answers in seconds, not hours

The question "What's our F&I PVR on used vehicles this month vs. last month, broken down by manager?" used to require opening DealerTrack, pulling a report, exporting to Excel, and building a pivot table. With Rupert, you type the question and get the answer before your coffee gets cold. That's not an exaggeration. Seconds, not hours.

Any question, any time

Your controller goes home at 5pm. Rupert doesn't. If you're sitting at dinner thinking about whether your aged inventory crept up this week, you can ask from your phone. If your 20-group moderator throws a curveball question on a Saturday morning call, you can have the answer before anyone else at the table.

No training required

If you can type a text message, you can use Rupert. There are no report templates to build, no filters to configure, no dashboards to customize. Just ask. Rupert figures out what data you need and pulls it together. Dealer principals, GMs, F&I directors, and desk managers can all use it on day one without a training session.

Ask Rupert about your dealership
