Company and method

Technology built with dealerships, from Verona.

AitomotiveLab is based in Villafranca di Verona and develops software products for concrete automotive retail operations. Our work starts with dealers, BDC managers, and marketing teams: we identify where the journey breaks between a digital request and sales ownership, or where image preparation delays inventory publishing.

MIA covers web, WhatsApp, and voice, gathers the context behind each request, and supports the handoff to the team. CarTake improves the photography workflow, from image preparation to publishing. The products are distinct but follow the same method: embed artificial intelligence into the systems and workflows the dealership already uses, while keeping people in control of decisive moments.

The team directly handles research, development, integrations, and production delivery. We stay close to the market through Automotive Dealer Day, projects with Italian dealerships, and field measurement. We do not treat automation as an end in itself: we define the problem, connect the required data, and evaluate impact through metrics sales teams can understand.
