Built on a proven technology stack

Same customer. Two very different Mondays.

A buyer asks about a car on Saturday night and wants to drive it on Monday. What your salesperson finds on Monday morning depends on whether the tools talked to each other.

Today: every tool keeps its own slice
  1. Website chatbot

    “Is the blue ARC-7 available? Could I drive it Monday?” Answered from a script. Nothing is written down.

  2. Contact form

    Buyer types name, phone, and the request again. Lands in an inbox nobody reads until Monday.

  3. Silence

    The buyer configures a car on the manufacturer site. Your team never sees the build.

  4. Salesperson

    Opens the form. Calls. “So, which car were you interested in?” The buyer starts from zero, and Monday’s drive never happens.

With Architera: one customer thread, shared by agents and your team
  1. Cronus web chat

    Answers from live stock: the blue ARC-7 is on the lot. Books the test drive for Monday 10:00.

    Test drive booked from live stock
  2. One record

    Consent, vehicle, and chat are saved to the customer. The buyer is recognised on every next visit.

    Saved to one customer record
  3. Forge + follow-up

    Buyer configures the ARC-7 on your site. Cronus sends the saved build and Monday’s confirmation on WhatsApp.

    Build and confirmation sent on WhatsApp
  4. Salesperson

    Opens the record: chat, build, consent, and the 10:00 test drive. The car is ready out front. Thirty minutes later, the buyer is driving it.

    Handed over with the full story

Cronus web chat

The conversation already knows the journey.

It knows the vehicle on the page, your stock, prices and opening hours, so buyers get a real answer and can book the test drive without leaving the chat. Your team sees the same conversation and can step in at any point.

Cronus journeys

Agentic engagement and CRM.

Cronus agents answer every enquiry, follow up until the next step is booked, and keep the customer record current across web chat, WhatsApp and email. Your team decides what each agent may do, sees every conversation, and can step in at any point.

Lens

Just ask. No clicking through the system.

Lens is the assistant that runs the software for you. Ask a question in plain language and it finds the answer across the dealership, shows the evidence behind it, and carries out the next step, with no screens to navigate and no reports to build yourself. It can also build dashboards, agents, and journey drafts through conversation.

    Disclosure, permissions and human oversight are designed into every agent. Dealership data stays isolated and encrypted, and every action is logged.

  • Guardrails you set, per channel

    Decide what the AI may do: reply on its own, hold each message for a person’s approval, or leave the channel to your team. Handover to a person is one step away in every conversation, and every action is logged.

  • One customer, one history, on every channel.
  • AI agents and salespeople, hand in hand at every step.
  • Every answer from live stock. Every booking in the real calendar.

The platform

One platform, built for the automotive retail process.

Start with one product or run them all. They share the same agents and the same customer record, so there are no separate tools to wire together.

  1. Customer frontends and conversationsYour website, stock and configurator, and every conversation with your buyers.
  2. Commerce, the omnichannel sales toolOne journey from Atlas, Forge and Pages onto your showroom floor. Agents hand customers to your team, and your team hands them back.
  3. The agentic layerAI agents that take action and give your team insights. They work from the shared customer record and live conversations, bookings, offers and stock, so they do the work, not only answer questions.
  4. Customer data platformEach conversation, call, visit and online step builds one customer profile. Every agent interaction adds to it, so you know more about each customer than you ever did.
  5. Dealer’s systemsBuilt on top of the systems you already run. We connect what your rollout needs.

Five layers that work as one, made for selling cars.

Why an AI-native platform matters.

Products share live context, agents and people coordinate the work, and every action returns to the same customer journey.

Explore why AI-native

The future of automotive retail is agents and people working as one.

Agents keep conversations, follow-up, and next-step work moving. Your team brings the judgment, relationships, and dealership expertise that matter.

What dealerships want to know.

What is Architera?

Architera is one platform for the online storefront, vehicle configurator, customer journeys, agentic CRM, customer communication, and an agentic analytics advisor. AI agents and dealership teams share the work across the customer relationship while the dealership stays in command.

What does Architera do better than single tools?

Most vendors sell a single tool, such as a chat widget, a configurator or a lead management tool, that bolts onto your existing platform or connects through a small integration. Each of those tools sees only its own slice of the customer. Architera runs the whole stack on one customer record, from your website and conversations to the sales tool and the agents. Every agent and every person on your team sees the full customer context, from the first chat to the offer and the booked test drive, and can act on it.

Do we have to replace our CRM or DMS?

No. Cronus runs on top of the systems you already use. Customer records, conversations and journeys live in Architera and integrate with your CRM and DMS.

Where should we start?

Start with the dealership priority that can create value fastest. That might be webchat, live stock and online buying, a new dealership website, Lens for a specific job, or a Cronus workflow for follow-up and test-drive booking. We scope the first useful launch with you, then build from what proves valuable.

What can Architera agents actually do?

They can answer customers, follow up across supported channels, qualify interest, update the customer record, prepare dealership tasks, and book the next step. Lens can also help your team build dashboards, agents, and customer journeys. You agree what each agent can do before it goes live.

Which conversation channels are available?

One AI brain, every channel. The same agents run your web chat, email and WhatsApp, connected to your own accounts, with one memory of every customer across all of them. AI voice is live as a pilot: agents answer calls, make follow-up calls, book test drives and service appointments, and pass the line to your team the moment a person should take it.

How much control does our team keep?

Your team decides what an agent can do, when approval is required, and when a person should step in. You can review the work, coach or pause an agent, and take over a conversation at any time.

How quickly can we go live?

A focused first launch can move quickly. Timing mainly depends on access to the right data, systems, and channels, so we scope those before giving you a go-live plan.

How is dealership data protected?

Security is foundational to Architera. The platform runs on enterprise-grade infrastructure with strict tenant isolation, encryption in transit and at rest using current standards, role-based access control, and comprehensive audit logging across every action. Continuous monitoring, automated backups and a hardened release process protect the platform around the clock, and the AI operates within defined guardrails under your control. Architera is built for GDPR compliance.
