The AI moves leads forward
When a buyer answers qualifying questions or books a visit over text, the card moves up to Contacted, Qualified, or Appointment scheduled. The AI only moves leads forward, never back.

Deals don’t wait.
Neither does your pipeline.
The AutoLens pipeline is a nine-stage board that tracks each lead from first text to delivery. The AI moves a lead forward when it qualifies them or books a visit, and reps move the rest. Managers get notified as deals advance without having to ask.
Nine stages
From first text to keys in hand.
The same nine stages for every dealership, so the reports compare like with like.
- 01New lead
A buyer texted in, or a rep added them.
- 02Contacted
Someone, AI or rep, has replied.
- 03Qualified
Timeline, vehicle, and budget are known.
- 04Appointment scheduled
A visit is booked, often by the AI.
- 05Appointment kept
They showed up.
- 06Test drive
Or test ride, for powersports dealers.
- 07Negotiation
Numbers are on the table.
- 08Sold
Deal done, paperwork pending.
- 09Delivered
Keys handed over.
What moves a card
The board keeps itself current.
Managers drag cards
Owners and managers work the board directly: drag a card to a new stage and the change is saved. Each card shows the vehicle, the assigned rep, and when it was last touched. Cards that have gone quiet are flagged.
Reps update their own leads
A salesperson moves their leads from the lead record. Only managers can reassign a lead, so nobody can pull a colleague’s customer into their own queue.
Running the floor
Leads reach reps. Managers see what happens next.
Round-robin rotation
New leads on the shared dealership number go to salespeople in turn. Take a rep out of rotation for a day off. Customers who come back stay with the rep who already knows them.
Manager activity feed
Owners and managers get notified when a rep posts to Marketplace, moves a deal, makes a sale, or picks up a new lead. Activity is grouped per rep so the bell doesn’t flood.
Tasks that come from the conversation
A booked visit or a handoff from the AI creates a task for the assigned rep. Add your own too. Each rep sees theirs sorted by due date on their dashboard.
Straight answers
What it doesn’t do.
Worth knowing before you decide, not after.
- Live board updates
If a teammate moves a card, you won’t see it until you refresh. The inbox and inventory pages update live; the pipeline board doesn’t yet.
- Custom stages
The nine stages are fixed. You can’t rename, add, or remove them yet.
- Automations per stage
Moving a card doesn’t trigger its own workflows. Tasks come from the AI and from your team.
- Desking and F&I
AutoLens isn’t a DMS. Deal structuring, F&I, and title work stay in the tools you use today.
A pipeline your team actually updates.
Because the AI moves leads forward as it talks to them, the board reflects reality without a Friday cleanup. Included in Starter, free for 7 days.
