Seamless Integration with 6 Major DMS Providers in Just 6 Months
How Motive Retail Helped CarWars Scale at Record Speed

The Problem

Complex Integrations Slowed Growth
The automotive service sector is transforming, with AI and automation revolutionizing dealership operations. For CarWars, this meant navigating a critical challenge: integrating their cutting-edge AI solution, CARI, with multiple Dealer Management Systems (DMS) and service scheduling platforms like XTime and MyKaarma.

Each DMS provider had unique technical specifications, and meeting market demand required fast, seamless integrations. Limited development resources and tight timelines created a tough choice: advance CARI’s core features or allocate bandwidth to manage complex integrations. Delays threatened growth and market share.

The Solution

An Effortless Partnership
Enter Motive Retail. By partnering with Motive and leveraging their MIX platform, CarWars gained access to an expansive integration network. The platform’s "integrate once, connect to many" architecture enabled rapid connections to multiple systems, eliminating the need for redundant, resource-draining development work.

This collaboration freed CarWars' team to focus on advancing CARI’s core AI functionality while Motive streamlined the integrations. The result? Faster deployment, reduced integration overhead, and a clear path for scalable growth.

The Results

6 DMS Integrations in 6 Months
In just six months, the partnership achieved:

• Seamless integration with six major DMS providers.
• AI-powered service scheduling revolutionized workflows, slashing response times and improving efficiency.
• A scalable framework for future expansions, allowing CarWars to add new systems quickly.

By focusing on their core product and leaving integrations to Motive, CarWars maintained innovation momentum while meeting aggressive deployment goals.

The Impact

A New Industry Standard
This collaboration didn’t just solve a problem; it set a new standard for the industry. CarWars delivered a smarter, faster solution that:

• Enhanced dealership operations with real-time, bi-directional data flow.
• Met rising customer expectations for automated and accurate service experiences.
• Cemented their leadership in the evolving automotive tech space.

Key Takeaways
