How it works

One number.
Every channel.
Every enquiry.

Forecourt is a dedicated WhatsApp number on your van. Buyers message it directly, or DoneDeal and Carzone enquiries route to it automatically. Replies happen in your voice, in 30 seconds, every time.

01
We install on your forecourt

20-minute setup. We provision your number, sync your stock from DoneDeal, learn your voice from 5 sample messages.

02
Forecourt handles every enquiry

Qualifies budget, finance, part-ex, timing. Books test drives. Sends payment links. In your voice, 24/7.

03
You only see real buyers

Tyre-kickers handled. Genuine buyers escalated to you with full context. Morning briefing at 8am on WhatsApp.

Works on the channels you already use

Your buyers won't know it's not you.

Six things Forecourt does on day one

Every capability runs through one WhatsApp number.

No app. No login. Your buyers stay in WhatsApp. You stay on the tools.

01

Qualify every enquiry

Extracts budget, finance need, part-ex intent, timing — in your voice. Hands you only the genuine buyers.

02

Check live stock

Knows every car on the forecourt with reg, year, mileage, NCT and motor tax. Never invents specs.

03

Book test drives

Reads your diary, books slots, sends confirmation. Reschedules without friction.

04

Intake part-exchanges

Collects reg, mileage, condition and photos. The lookup runs async. You get the full pack on your phone.

05

Escalate cleanly

Anything unusual — deposits, complaints, custom finance — goes to you with full context.

06

Morning briefing

8am WhatsApp summary: hot leads overnight, test drives today, aged stock to action.

Built for Ireland, not bolted on

Speaks NCT. Calculates VRT. Knows DoneDeal.

Most dealer software was built for the UK then translated. Forecourt was built in Lucan, for indies in Cork, Galway, Drogheda and everywhere else. The differences matter.

NCT reminders

Buyer asks about a car's NCT? Forecourt knows the expiry date and shares it. Automatic 60-day reminders go to your buyers after sale.

VRT calculator

UK imports priced correctly, every time. VRT + NOx levy + post-Brexit duty handled at quote time.

DoneDeal-first

Enquiries from your DoneDeal ads forward straight into Forecourt. Carzone, Cars Ireland and Facebook Marketplace too.

EUR pricing throughout

No FX gymnastics, no GBP defaults, no surprises. €99, €249 or €699 a month. That's it.

Honestly thought it was Liam himself replying. Booked four test drives over the bank holiday weekend without me touching the phone.

Independent dealer, Co. Meath

We used to lose half our DoneDeal enquiries to whichever dealer answered first. That problem disappeared in week one.

Used car dealer, Co. Cork

Saturday morning briefing is the killer feature. Three hot leads queued up before I'd had a coffee.

Common questions

The straight answers.

Will Forecourt sound like me, or like a generic chatbot?

Like you. Onboarding includes a voice extraction step: we read 5-10 sample messages you've sent buyers and Forecourt picks up your tone, your phrases, your sign-offs. Every dealer's Forecourt sounds different. We send you the first 50 conversations to review and tune.

What happens if Forecourt gets a complaint or a deposit request?

Escalates straight to you. Anything that needs a human decision — deposits, complaints, custom finance, deep haggling — gets handed over with full context. You see the conversation, you take it from there.

Do you integrate with my DMS (Pinewood, Keyloop, Dragon)?

Group tier only at the moment. Forecourt and Trader tiers run standalone — most indies don't have a DMS anyway. If you do, we'll talk to your provider.

What about GDPR? My buyers' data?

EU-hosted (Supabase Ireland, Fly Frankfurt). Full DPA signed at onboarding. You're the data controller, we're the processor. Buyer phone numbers, names and messages stay in your tenant, encrypted, never used to train any model.

Can I cancel after the pilot?

Yes. 30-day free pilot, no card needed. After that, monthly with one month notice. We don't lock anyone in — if it's not paying back, we'd rather you said so.
