Manage episode 468644282 series 3582152
In this episode of Qore Conversations, Todd Smith, CEO of QoreAI, explains how dealerships can shift from relying on fragmented, outdated data to using AI-driven insights that fuel smarter, more profitable decisions. Many dealerships are surrounded by data from CRMs, DMS platforms, web analytics, and service records—but few are effectively turning that information into meaningful action. This episode breaks down how AI can help dealerships move beyond guesswork, streamline operations, and unlock the full potential of their data to drive better outcomes and maximize profits.
Despite having more data than ever before, most dealerships are still stuck making decisions based on gut instinct and incomplete information. The problem isn’t a lack of data—it’s that the data is scattered across multiple systems, leaving dealers without a clear, unified picture of their operations. Todd explains how dealerships can break free from this cycle and use AI-powered tools to move from reactive, backward-looking strategies to predictive and prescriptive decision-making.
This episode offers practical, actionable insights designed to help dealerships stop wasting resources and start making informed, data-driven choices that boost efficiency and profitability.
Key Highlights:
- The Data Dilemma: Why fragmented and biased data keeps dealerships stuck in ineffective decision-making cycles—and how to break free from outdated systems.
- Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics: How forward-looking insights can help dealerships anticipate challenges, optimize performance, and drive future success.

- Taking Control of Your Data: Why owning and organizing dealership data is essential for unlocking the full potential of AI—and how relying on vendors can keep dealerships stuck in old patterns.
Throughout the episode, Todd emphasizes that AI isn’t here to replace people—it’s here to empower dealerships to make better, faster decisions that drive long-term success. The dealers who embrace AI and take control of their data will lead the way in this new era of automotive retail.
