Live Conversation
PCP agreement ending in 90 days: 2022 Ford Puma, Excel
CarBuddy AI
Hi David, I'm getting in touch from Excel regarding your Ford Puma. Your current agreement is coming to an end soon, and I wanted to make sure you're aware of your options. Would you like to discuss what's available? Best, Lucy, Excel
Customer
Hi Lucy, yes I've been wondering about that. What are my options when it ends?
CarBuddy AI
You have a few options: you can return the vehicle, make a final payment to keep it, or upgrade to a newer model. Many customers choose to upgrade as it often means a similar monthly payment for a brand new car. Would you like me to arrange an appointment to go through the numbers?
Customer
Yes please, that would be really helpful.
Outcome: Customer books a handover appointment and upgrades to a new Ford Puma

The Challenge

With thousands of PCP agreements expiring each month across the group, sales teams could not keep up with manual renewal outreach. Many customers were simply returning vehicles or switching to competitors.

The Solution

Car Buddy automated the entire renewal outreach process, contacting customers at the right time with personalised messaging and booking appointments for those interested in upgrading.

The Result

Renewal retention increased significantly, with hundreds of additional upgrade appointments booked each month. The group saw a measurable reduction in customer defection and a strong uplift in repeat sales.

How It Works

Three simple steps to get started.

1

Agreement data is ingested

Finance agreement end dates and customer details are imported from your DMS or finance provider. Car Buddy identifies who to contact and when.

2

AI reaches out at the right time

Personalised SMS and email outreach begins at the optimal window, referencing the customer's current vehicle and agreement status.

3

Appointments booked, leads delivered

Customers who want to explore their options are booked in for a handover. Your team receives all the context they need to close the deal.
