Toma is an AI communication platform for automotive dealerships. It uses voice AI agents to handle inbound phone calls, qualify leads, and schedule service appointments within a dealership's management systems.

The software is designed for dealerships managing high call volumes, such as during recall events or peak seasons. By automating repetitive scheduling and inquiry tasks, it helps service advisors focus more on customers present in the store.

Beyond answering calls, the tool includes a unified inbox for tracking texts and calls, and a learning layer called Toma IQ that suggests policy updates based on analyzed call patterns. Buyers should confirm how the AI integrates with their specific DMS and scheduler to ensure a complete workflow.

Toma is SOC 2 Type II compliant, which may be a consideration for dealerships prioritizing data security.
