Every response tracked to the household by UpDash — calls, QR, web and showroom — then sold units, RO's and gross matched back in the store's DMS.

How service & recall mail runs

Same measurement. A completely different play.

Data source — Recall VINs, declined services, and lapsed customers. Here's how this one executes, end to end.

Step 1

Find the open work

Open recalls by VIN, services your advisors declined, and customers who've quietly stopped coming in.

Step 2

Mail the reminder

Each household sees its own vehicle, mileage, and the exact service due — a reason to book, not a generic coupon.

Step 3

Match the RO

Every repair order the list produces is matched in your DMS and counted — fixed ops, measured, not estimated.

Real campaigns

More service & recall mail, matched to the DMS.

Every number DMS-matched by UpDash — the response, sold units, repair orders and gross each mailed list actually produced.
