What is Kimoby Voice?

Kimoby Voice is an AI-powered missed call agent for dealership service departments. When no one answers the phone, Kimoby Voice picks up, identifies the customer from the DMS by phone number, captures their request, and routes a voicemail recording, full transcript, and AI summary to the right advisor. It integrates with CDK, Reynolds, PBS, Tekion, DealerTrack, and Autosoft.

How is Kimoby Voice different from a standalone voice AI tool like Numa?

Kimoby Voice is a module inside the Service Lane OS, not a separate vendor. It shares data with the same platform advisors use for texting, video inspections, estimates, payments, and loaners. When a missed call comes in, the advisor sees it in the same dashboard where they manage every other customer interaction. No new system. No new login.

Does Kimoby Voice integrate with CDK?

Yes. Kimoby Voice integrates with CDK, Reynolds, PBS, Tekion, DealerTrack, and Autosoft. It uses DMS data to identify callers by phone number and route messages to the correct advisor based on customer service history.

Can Kimoby Voice identify the customer before they speak?

Yes. Kimoby Voice checks the incoming phone number against your DMS records. If the number matches a customer profile, it identifies them by name and routes the message to their assigned advisor. The advisor sees the customer name, vehicle, and service history alongside the transcript.

Does Kimoby Voice replace a call center?

Yes. Kimoby Voice replaces third-party call center services and traditional voicemail. It provides DMS-integrated call handling with customer identification, full transcripts, AI summaries with sentiment analysis, and advisor routing.

The Best CDK Service alternative: Kimoby vs CDK Service

How is Kimoby different from CDK Service?

CDK is the system of record. It handles parts, billing, scheduling, and accounting. Kimoby is the system of action. It handles the customer-facing service workflow: texting, inspections (also called digital MPI), estimates, payments, loaners, and Kimoby Voice for missed calls. The two systems stay in sync through a full integration with write-back.

Because Kimoby sits on top of CDK rather than replacing it, there is no migration and no disruption to existing workflows. When a customer approves an estimate or makes a payment through Kimoby, it writes back to the CDK repair order automatically. Advisors work from one dashboard that connects every customer touchpoint to the RO.
