What DAS Technology does

DAS Technology, formerly operating as Digital Air Strike, is a Scottsdale, Arizona-based SaaS company that provides an AI-native Customer Data & Experience Platform (CDXP) for the automotive retail vertical. The platform unifies sales, service, and retention data into a single system and is delivered through modules including Power AI Search (AI-driven search visibility for generative engines), Smart Quote AI (patented multi-vehicle quoting with 180-day automated nurturing), AI Video Inventory Mover (photo-to-video ad generation), Response Logix (sub-second lead response), Vehicle Smart Score (vehicle health dashboard), Hybrid Human + AI Chat, Power Text messaging, Review Surge, and Blue Sky ROI dashboards. The company claims to cover 32 of 37 customer touchpoints across the vehicle lifecycle, influencing roughly 37% of U.S. automotive retail transactions and $1.4B in annual dealer sales and service profit while reaching 147M consumers annually.

The product is built on a proprietary data and integration backbone, connecting to 276+ automotive and marketing platforms including VinSolutions, DealerSocket, elead, Reynolds, CDK, Tekion, Google, Meta, Microsoft Advertising, Amazon, and TikTok, plus data integrations with Experian for audience activation. AI capabilities are embedded across the stack — spanning generative AI, recommendation engines, predictive analytics, computer vision, knowledge retrieval, and autonomous agents — and are protected by patents on the AI-powered CDXP, Response Logix, and Smart Quote AI technologies. The company is positioned as the only platform unifying sales, service, and retention data with built-in AI specifically for automotive retail.

DAS Technology generates revenue through an enterprise SaaS subscription model with annual billing and quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. A material share of demand is OEM-driven: the company is approved in 56 OEM programs, including a 10-year partnership as GM's approved reputation management partner, which enables co-op reimbursement and reduces dealer net cost. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for dealer groups and OEMs with inside sales for mid-market accounts, supported by NADA Show presence and thought leadership from CEO Alexi Venneri. The company serves 9,300+ dealerships, retailers, partners, and OEMs across 34 countries and has executed at least seven disclosed acquisitions since 2019, including Engage To Sell (2025), 3 Birds Marketing (2023), AUTOVATE (2023), BestRide and LotVantage (2021), and Libra Systems and Target Media Partners Interactive (2019).
