ZANUS FRONT OFFICE FOR AUTO DEALERS — AI PHONE
Every sales and service call answered. From the first ring, 24/7.
The AI answers on your menu, in your chosen voices, in up to 40 languages — the 7:30 AM service rush, Saturday afternoon on the sales line, Sunday night. It books, moves and cancels service appointments in the right advisor’s schedule, confirms a car is still on the lot, books the test drive, takes the recall call, and transfers payment questions to F&I with the context whispered in. Hang-ups become call-back lists the AI works itself, not lost customers.

REAL AI - the whole Front Office is AI, not old software with an AI button. Give it your website: it learns your company, works from your approved knowledge and gets better with every answer you approve.

The real Phone menu: every ring on your number — answered, transferred, transcribed, reviewed.
What it does
Thirty owners calling while two advisors write up the line: every call answered at once, in the caller’s language, booked or routed. No hold music.
Who called, sales or service, which vehicle, booked or transferred, transcript and summary. The shopper never repeats the story; the transfer arrives briefed.
Not a voicemail: the 9 PM shopper gets the Saturday test drive, the warning-light owner gets your instruction and a slot, the recall gets filed.
Inside AI Phone — the real screens
Click a tab. Every picture is the live Front Office, not a mockup — the left menu is the whole product.
Programmed by talking. Nothing changes without your yes.
Lisa reads your website, interviews you by voice or by chat — only about what the site does not say — writes every department, and tests it with exam calls before the line opens. Afterwards you change anything by telling her: “in Sales, add: we close at noon on Fridays in August.” A rule can carry dates: “the Christmas greeting until December 27.”
- Your website is the first interview — you answer only what it does not say
- Exam calls before the line opens; every real call reviewed afterwards
- She proposes improvements; you say yes or no. Nothing changes without your yes
- Keep your existing number and your existing phones
From your mobile, tell Lisa what to do with the caller on hold
A person who took a call on his mobile presses a key and tells Lisa: “transfer him to Mary”, “take a message”, “send him to voicemail.” The colleague receiving the transfer can say yes, no, voicemail, message, or the name of a department. Callers who drop in the menu are logged as call-back leads with number and path taken.
- Your whole team works from the phones they already have
- The administrator holds the first phone: an extension that rings in the browser, with hold, transfer, consult, a voicemail inbox and the AI beside him
- Every further person who wants a phone of his own inside Front Office is an operator — forwarding a call to someone’s mobile never needs one
- Hang-ups called back automatically — see Auto-Call below for scheduled calls
Auto-Call — the AI calls THEM
Not only answering. From an automated event (a due date, a ready order, tomorrow’s appointment), a scheduled funnel or a list you upload, the AI calls your registered contacts and announces your message — or talks as an agent: answers the question, moves the appointment, confirms, collects the missing detail.
- “Hi Kevin, this is Lakeside Motors: the part for your vehicle has arrived and the service bay is holding your Tuesday slot.”
- “Hi Anna, this is Lakeside Motors calling about your 30,000-mile service, due this month. Would Saturday morning or a weekday evening work for you?”
- Triggered by automated events, scheduled funnels or lists
- Announce a message, or act as an agent the customer can talk back to
- Call window, attempts, voicemail policy, consent and do-not-call flags — your rules
- Every call transcribed with its outcome; the AI identifies your business at the start
Scheduled Auto-Call comes inside a solution — see pricing. Calling back the hang-ups is part of AI Phone.
When your people are on the call, the AI is in their ear — AI ASSIST
Your operators work with headsets in the phone panel: outbound from to-do lists (yours, or the ones the AI prepares from hang-ups and follow-ups), inbound from the queue. Flip the AI ASSIST toggle and the AI listens to the live conversation and proposes, in real time, what to say — grounded answers in a side panel, each with its knowledge source named. The operator reads and talks — the AI never speaks into the call.
- Outbound from operator to-do lists, inbound from the queue — same panel, same knowledge
- New operators sound experienced on day one; nobody quotes a policy from memory
- Answers appear while the customer is still asking — sources shown
- Same knowledge base as every other channel — one truth
- Switch it on only for the calls where you want it
Available on its own — or inside a solution
Questions, answered
Do we keep our phone numbers and our menu?
Yes. Your existing sales and service numbers stay; calls route to the AI first, your people first, or any mix by hour and by line — for example, advisors first during hours with AI overflow when the queue builds, AI alone nights and Sundays. Available on its own or inside a solution — see pricing.
What happens with a payment, credit or safety question?
Your rules decide: transfer to F&I with the context whispered in, book an F&I appointment, or read the offers you publish word for word — the AI never improvises a payment or a rate. A brake, steering or warning-light question gets your approved instruction and a same-day slot or the advisor; the AI does not judge whether the car is safe to drive.
