What is dgtl.ai's test-drive platform?

The test-drive platform is a digital test-drive management software for automotive manufacturers and dealers. It covers the entire process from booking to resource and vehicle management to digital on-site check-in – centrally controllable and API-ready.

How quickly can guests book a test drive?

Guests select model, date, and time in under 2 minutes. The booking confirmation automatically includes a calendar entry, and reminders and rescheduling are handled entirely digitally.

What is the difference between slot-based and rule-based booking?

Slot-based booking offers fixed time windows for maximum predictability, ideal for events and roadshows. Rule-based booking uses intelligent calendar logic similar to Calendly and is especially suited for year-round test-drive offerings at permanent locations.

How does vehicle management work during a test-drive campaign?

All models, vehicles, and locations come together centrally in one backend. Real-time synchronization shows every vehicle's availability. Vehicles can be pulled from service and automatically replaced with backup vehicles.

What happens if a booked vehicle becomes unavailable?

If a vehicle becomes unavailable, it is automatically pulled from circulation and replaced with an available backup vehicle from the resource pool. Check-in and check-out continue to run fully automatically.

How does on-site check-in work?

An iPad app specifically optimized for test drives speeds up check-in via a QR-code-based guest scan. The digital signature for terms of participation is stored in a legally secure manner before the vehicle is assigned directly from the resource pool.

Is the test-drive platform GDPR-compliant?

Yes, all data is processed in full compliance with GDPR. The digital signature for terms of participation is also stored in a legally secure manner.

Can the platform be used for both roadshows and permanent locations?

Yes, the platform is flexible: event-based for roadshows and trade fairs, or as a year-round offering at permanent locations – with slot-based or rule-based booking depending on your needs.
