Market Evaluation
Find Opportunities in Your Market You Never Knew Existed
Your DMS holds more than records. It holds your next service opportunities. Dealerwing combines clean data with AI-powered Market Evaluation to reveal the customers, value and neighborhoods your campaigns should focus on.
The starting point
From raw records to real customers
First, we run dealership data through extensive hygiene and identity resolution. Then AI analyzes the clean customer set to surface the insights needed for more effective, efficient campaigns. More records do not automatically mean more customers.
A unique, actionable customer is worth more than an inflated record count.
Raw DMS records
The starting data, before validation.
Hygiene & identity resolution
Verify ownership, contact details and marketability.
AI-powered evaluation
Turn clean customers into campaign insights.
Sample evaluation views. Raw records and unique customers are different measures; these screenshots are not a reconciled accounting ledger or a promise of dealership results.
Your market, made visible
See the relationships around your store
The map brings customer location and status together. It gives dealership leaders a visual picture of where business comes from—and where opportunity may be hiding.
Customer location
See where your customers actually live in relation to your dealership. Concentration, distance and gaps become visible in a way a spreadsheet cannot show.
Customer status
Connect location to relationship status: Loyal, Retained, At-Risk, Lost, Sold Not Serviced and Defected. The same neighborhood can hold very different campaign opportunities.
Market opportunity
Look beyond the areas that already bring you business. Nearby pockets of inactive customers can reveal service opportunities that deserve a closer look.
Flagged records
Stop counting what you cannot act on
The evaluation makes exclusions visible. Outdated, unverified, out-of-market and undeliverable records are flagged and suppressed—not treated as campaign opportunities. Criteria depend on the selected audience and market.

Beyond 60 Months
Older records fall outside this evaluation’s recency criteria.
Valid inactive customers
Known customers. Untapped service opportunity.
These customers have a dealership relationship, but no service visit in the last 12 months. Once ownership and location are validated, you can distinguish the relationships that need reactivation from those still waiting for their first service visit.
Serviced with the dealership before, but has not had a service visit in the last 12 months.
Purchased within the last 12 months and has never had a service visit.
Purchased more than a year ago and has never had a service visit.
16,214 validated inactive customers in this sample
A past customer is not a net-new Conquest prospect. Each of these segments belongs to your existing dealership customer base.
Explore Retention & Lost CustomersValid active customers
Protect the next visit—not just the last one
Active service customers have visited in the last 12 months. Their status tells you whether to protect a loyal relationship, earn the next visit or act before a retained customer slips away.
Two or more service visits in the last 12 months.
One service visit in the last 12 months.
Currently retained, but will become Lost without a return visit within 90 days.
7,687 validated active customers in this sample
Marketing segments describe the customer relationship. OEM retention credit still depends on the manufacturer’s specific Qualified RO criteria.
Channels & customer value
Know who you can reach—and what the relationship is worth
Every status breaks down into customer counts, available contact channels and service value. Mail, email and SMS availability help shape the channel mix; historical revenue and average RO add context that a headcount alone cannot provide.
Contact channels may overlap. Historical revenue is not projected campaign revenue; RO history does not automatically establish Qualified RO eligibility.
AI-powered Playbooks
Give your budget a clear objective
Enter an estimated marketing budget, then let the evaluation connect that budget to a campaign goal. AI identifies the customers best suited to the selected Playbook, with audience counts and campaign costs visible before you commit.
Supplied sample recommendations—not a live budget calculation or guaranteed outcome.
Explore the PlaybooksSpecialized audiences
See the opportunities beyond the core campaign
Alongside the Playbooks, Market Evaluation exposes audiences a dealership may want to target through specialized campaigns. Customer status, service needs, vehicle characteristics and historical value become visible audience choices—with counts and costs in the evaluation.
Select any audience to enlarge it.
Audience views reflect their own criteria and may overlap; they should not be added together as a unique-customer total.
ZIP Code intelligence
Find the value hiding in every neighborhood
The ZIP Code breakdown combines an interactive heat map with customer status and service economics. See where your business comes from, compare areas of strength and underperformance, and uncover revenue opportunities inside the market around your store.
A closer look at the market
Volume is only part of the picture
A ZIP Code with fewer ROs can still contain valuable customers. Average RO, customer-pay value and relationship status help explain what a simple volume ranking misses.

An auto dealership market evaluation analyzes dealership customer data, market geography, customer segments, and opportunity areas so the dealership can better understand where fixed ops marketing and customer retention campaigns should focus.

AI performs better when it is working from clean, validated, segmented data. Market evaluation helps organize the customer base before AI is used to identify audiences, priorities, and campaign recommendations.
