What Space Auto does

Space Auto is a Dallas-based, privately-held SaaS company founded in 2021 that sells a unified dealership platform to automotive retailers across the United States and Canada. The platform consolidates four core product lines into a single cloud system: a drag-and-drop website builder, a digital retailing layer (deal building, trade valuation), a CRM, and DAISI, a GPT-4-powered AI assistant with access to inventory, customer, and deal data that automates follow-up, scheduling, and reporting tasks. Add-on modules include phone, DMS integration, paid advertising management, and SEO/GEO services. Revenue is generated through recurring SaaS subscriptions plus these add-on services; pricing is not publicly disclosed and the GTM motion is direct sales via a website demo funnel and an inside sales team operating from a Dallas headquarters at 8350 N Central Expy.

The company's primary differentiator is the breadth of its integration footprint — verified connections with 50+ industry partners spanning dealer management systems (Tekion, CDK Drive, DealerBuilt, Lightspeed, Frazer, VinSolutions, iDMS/DealerSocket, Dominion, Autosoft, Autorevo, DealerCenter, DealerPull), inventory and merchandising tools (vAuto, Vincue, Carketa, HomeNet, Glo3d, Dealer Specialties), F&I and credit platforms (Dealertrack, RouteOne, 700Credit, AutoNavigator/Capital One), and marketplaces (Autotrader, CarGurus, Cars.com, CARFAX, CarsForSale, Google Vehicle Listings Ads, Meta). In May 2023 Space Auto launched what it positioned as the first GPT-4-powered unified CRM for retail automotive, and in July 2025 it released autonomous AI Agents that automate sales-floor tasks. EV-specific data integrations with Lectrium and Recurrent extend the platform into electric vehicle merchandising.

The commercial base mixes enterprise dealer groups (Napleton Auto Group, Patterson, Carter Myers Automotive, McAndrew Motors) with SMB and BHPH accounts (Victory Kia, Owings Auto), and the company expanded into Canada in September 2025 with CAD pricing, bilingual support, and local compliance. Space Auto is venture-backed at the Series A stage following a June 2023 round led with participation from global business leader John Paul DeJoria; the round size is undisclosed. The company has 11-50 employees headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with no disclosed revenue or ARR figures.
