In the automotive sales and service sector, customer satisfaction (CSAT) has become the core competitiveness of major enterprises. Moreover, consumers' expectations for sales services and service changes have been rapidly increasing, and the traditional telephone and email promotion models of dealerships are unable to meet users' expectations for information acquisition, complete information, and personalized experiences.

I. Current Situation and Pain Points of Cross-border Car Dealer Services

Driven by the trend of digital transformation, modern car buyers mainly obtain information about vehicle models, compare prices, and book test drives or maintenance services through websites, social media, and even applications. Data shows that most car buyers have made most of their purchasing decisions online before visiting the dealership. If dealers cannot respond ly to inquiries on their online platforms, they may lose business opportunities. Quick response has become a key factor in enhancing customer experience and increasing conversion rates. However, the traditional customer service model faces the following pain points:

Response delay: Telephone hotlines and emails usually have waiting times or working hours restrictions, which are contrary to the "instant feedback" that customers expect;

Cross-channel differences: Customers may consult through multiple channels such as websites, social media, and text messages, but it is difficult to achieve synchronous conversations;

High labor costs: Maintaining 24/7 human customer service requires a significant investment in labor costs. Service quality fluctuations: The varying levels and communication styles of different customer service representatives directly affect the customer experience and satisfaction.
