For dealerships
Every trade, priced before it pulls in.
NextKey is your store’s own trade‑in app and website. Customers send their VIN, plate, condition answers and guided photos from wherever they are, see a market-based estimate, and your team works every trade‑in in RELAY.
How it works for your store
- 01
Share your link
Your store gets one link, a QR code and a dealer code. Put them in the showroom, on your website and in your messages, or send a customer a personal invite by email or text.
- 02
The customer tells you about the car
VIN, license plate, condition answers (tapped, or talked through with the RELAY voice assistant) and 17 guided photos, each checked on the spot so you get usable shots.
- 03
They see a market-based estimate
A range from current market data, adjusted for their answers and clearly labelled as an estimate, not an offer.
- 04
You make the offer
Review the trade‑in in RELAY and send your offer to the customer’s phone. They can accept, book a visit or ask a question.
What you get in RELAY
RELAY is the AUTONOMi console where your team works trade‑ins.
Photos, already read
AI-marked damage on the photos, tire tread, dashboard warning lights and the odometer reading, from the customer’s own shots.
The conversation, summarized
When a customer answers by voice, you get a summary of the conversation and the transcript.
Inbox, pipeline, follow‑ups
Every trade‑in in one inbox, a pipeline by stage, follow‑ups and an activity timeline for each customer.
Personal invites
Send a customer their own invite link by email or text. Their details are filled in when they open it.
Started, not sent
See the trade‑ins customers started but haven’t sent yet, so you can follow up.
Straight to their phone
Offers, requests for more photos and updates reach the customer’s phone as notifications.
The offer is always your decision. NextKey gathers the car, the condition and the photos; your team sets the number.
Your brand, not ours
Customers see your store’s name and your look throughout.
- Your make’s look, or your dealer group’s own theme: colours, fonts and logos designed from your group’s logos.
- One link for your store: trynextkey.com/trade/your-store.
- In English and Spanish.
Privacy and trust
- Customers agree to be contacted by your store before they start.
- A trade‑in goes only to the store whose link, code or invite the customer used.
- Talking to RELAY is optional and asked for first; speech is turned into text and not stored as audio.
- Market pricing receives the vehicle details, never the customer’s identity. Vehicle history never reaches the customer’s phone.
- Every unsent trade‑in has its own token that expires after 7 days.
Questions
- Is the estimate an offer?
- No. The estimate is a range from market data, shown as an estimate. The offer always comes from your store, after your team reviews the trade‑in.
- Can it look like our store?
- Yes. NextKey uses your make’s look, or your dealer group’s own theme with your logos, colours and fonts.
- How do customers reach us?
- Through your store’s link, its QR code, its dealer code, or a personal invite you send by email or text.
- Who sees the customer’s information?
- Your store. AUTONOMi runs NextKey for you as your service provider, with the sub-processors listed in the NextKey Privacy Policy.
- Does it work in Spanish?
- Yes. Customers can use NextKey in English or Spanish.
