The Automotive Advantage
Built for the way automotive businesses actually run.
Most of the software your team fights with was designed for a generic office, not a lot full of vehicles, a service bay full of techs, and a finance desk full of paperwork. BRAD is opinionated about the work — and flexible about everything else.
What you get with BRAD
Universal benefits, built into every install
The same platform fits a single-bay independent shop or a multi-location dealership group — without changing the way your team works.
Higher ROI
Fewer tools and less duplicated work mean more revenue per employee.
Easier workforce management
Roles, permissions, and optional time tracking in one place. Your team gets back hours every week.
Better customer experience
A unified record of every customer touch — sales, support, billing — so nobody on your team is ever in the dark.
Unified operations
Stop stitching together five SaaS apps. Inventory, billing, marketing, support, and reporting share one source of truth.
Faster onboarding
New staff get up and running in days, not weeks. The platform feels familiar from hour one.
Data-driven decisions
Built-in dashboards turn day-to-day activity into trends and forecasts. Stop running your business on instinct alone.

Why BRAD
Own your stack. Run your automotive business your way.
Self-hosted means your customer list, vehicle inventory, and financial history live on infrastructure you control. We can manage hosting for you, or you can put it on your own server — the license is the same, and your data is never held hostage.
Modular means you turn on what your shop actually uses. A service-only operation doesn't pay for an auction engine. A dealership group can flip on Appraisals, Sales, and Marketing the day they need them.
Lifetime licenses are available so you're not locked into ever-rising SaaS price hikes. Buy once, run forever, upgrade when you choose.
Platform pillars
The core platform in every install
These pillars ship with every BRAD install. Add-on modules are optional — turn on what you need today, add more as you grow.
Customer Records
One profile per customer with every interaction, invoice, and document attached.
Billing & Payments
Invoices, fees, taxes, and Stripe payments built in.
Communications
SMS campaigns and broadcasts, plus transactional email.
Analytics & Reporting
Real-time dashboards and exportable reports — no third-party tools needed.
Automation & Workflows
Triggers and scheduled tasks that move work along while you sleep.
Security & Access Control
Roles, permissions, audit logs, two-factor — production-ready from day one.
Mobile-Ready
Looks and works great on phones — staff can run their day from the field.
Open APIs & Integrations
Connect to anything. REST APIs and webhooks.
Solutions for Automotive
Built for automotive businesses from day one
Whether you run a single-rooftop dealership, a wholesale auction lane, an independent service shop, or a multi-location parts operation — the same BRAD install bends to fit.
For operators
Run the dealership, service shop, or parts counter from one screen. Keep vehicle inventory, service work, and finance paperwork in one place without switching tools.
For finance teams
Use invoices, custom fields, and projects to manage deal paperwork, billing, and reconditioning costs. Give your controller one place to see invoices and payments for every unit and service order.
For your customers
Keep repair history on the customer record and follow up with SMS campaigns for oil changes, lease-end offers, and service reminders. A buying experience that earns repeat business.

Start with the modules you need, add the rest when you're ready. No per-seat fees, no surprise upgrades.
Frequently asked questions
What teams ask before they switch
BRAD is a full business platform, not just a contact list. Billing, communications, and analytics come with the core platform. Add-on modules like Projects switch on only when you need them.
Yes. Self-hosted is the default. Run it on your own VPS, in your own data center, or in our managed cloud — your call. The license is the same either way.
Open APIs, webhooks, and direct integrations with Stripe and major email/SMS providers. If we don't have a native connector, we have an API.
Most teams are productive in their first week. New staff are onboarded in days, not weeks, because the platform feels familiar from hour one.
Your data is yours. Self-hosted means it never touches our infrastructure. Managed hosting still gives you full export rights at any time.
One license for your business, with optional add-on modules priced separately. See the pricing page for the full breakdown.
Take back control of your automotive business.
Reclaim the hours your team spends fighting tools. Own the software, own the data, and get back to actually running the shop. We'll help you plan the switch, migrate cleanly, and get your first team productive in days.
