Customer Story: How a Top 5 Audi Dealership Uses Nessa to Handle Thousands of Customer Conversations — Every Month

This Audi dealership ranks among the top 5 in the nation — known for its volume, luxury experience, and loyal client base.

With over 20,000 active customers across sales, service, finance, and collision, the team had no shortage of opportunity — but lacked the bandwidth to follow up with everyone at the right time.

📉 The Problem: Too Many Touchpoints, Not Enough Capacity

High-performing departments meant more leads, more contracts maturing, more equity opportunities — and more clients expecting fast answers.

But reality looked like this:

  • Lease and finance renewals delayed
  • Equity-rich owners left untouched
  • Service clients not re-engaged
  • Bodyshop follow-ups falling through
  • Inbound leads waiting hours (or days) for a reply

The BDC and advisor teams were swamped. Important follow-ups were slipping through the cracks.

🧠 The Solution: Full-Cycle Customer Engagement with Puzzle CRM + Nessa

The dealership deployed Puzzle CRM, powered by a smart assistant named Nessa (never revealed as AI).

Nessa now acts as the frontline for customer engagement across every department — working 24/7 to handle outreach, follow-ups, and renewals automatically.
