AutoDealerPro is built by α Agentic Solutions, a small focused team in Florida. We believe the incumbents (CDK, Reynolds, Tekion) have failed the people who actually move cars — independent dealers, BHPH lots, single-rooftop franchises — and we built the platform we'd want to use.
A dealer's data shouldn't live in twelve vendor silos. One unified data model lets the AI actually understand the business — not just generate boilerplate at the surface.
Herald isn't a chatbot bolted onto a 1990s DMS. It's wired into the data model from day one. That's why it can book a real test drive — not just promise to "get back to you."
We start with the dealers the incumbents under-serve and over-charge. Once they trust us, we earn the right to compete for the franchise market — not the other way around.
How it played out: five sprints from foundations to a public launch. The beta opened May 6 with 10 dealers, V1.0 launched publicly in May 2026, and 2.0 shipped July 2026.

Arthur is the founder of α Agentic Solutions. He started building dealer software because the alternatives — quoted at $80,000 / month for the franchise shop down the street — had become indefensible. AutoDealerPro is his answer: the platform he wanted to buy, built for the dealers who keep getting overlooked.
You can reach him directly at doitflorida@gmail.com. Every founding-dealer onboarding is run by him personally, until that's no longer possible.
The next 100 rooftops before May 16, 2027 get 25% off for the first 12 months — independent at $367 / mo, franchise at $1,117 / mo / rooftop — plus free white-glove migration. Founding 50 sold out — their half-off-for-life ($245 / $745) is locked, as promised.
