Big things are coming to NADA

Meet Numa

We believe it needs to be super easy for dealerships to communicate with their customers.

The most powerful AI dealership communication platform

Numa is an AI-powered dealership communication hub that captures, assigns, and resolves every customer interaction across calls, texts, voicemails, and reviews. Built for GMs, Service Directors, and BDC leaders, Numa replaces fragmented point solutions with a unified AI Inbox.

Our AI agents answer missed calls, follow up on hang-ups, book appointments, and escalate heat cases while delivering clear, real-time visibility into every repair order (RO) managed by your service advisors. We've handled more than 150 million calls & texts, booked more than 4 million appointments, and handled more than 12 million ROs across 1,200+ rooftops, including Longo, Fox Motors, and Cochran.

Backed by $50 million from Google and Tesla's founding investor, we offer full visibility into different aspects of dealership communications and early sentiment from customer interactions.
