Automotive Videos Made Simple

What Automotive Videos Made Simple does

Automotive Videos Made Simple (AVMS) is a Wayne, Pennsylvania-based software company founded in 2024 that provides auto dealerships with a personalized service video creation and delivery platform. The product enables service advisors and technicians to record, edit, and send customer-facing videos that explain recommended services and repairs, accompanied by a pre-vetted library of nine standardized service videos intended to standardize messaging and reduce per-rooftop content production effort. The platform's primary customer is the franchised dealership service department, and the company has publicly cited Land Rover Jaguar Main Line (with General Manager Tak Papariello) as an enterprise reference customer, alongside a consumer testimonial from an individual owner (Jay Wright).

The product is built around a curated content library plus a customer-facing video delivery mechanism that routes content to vehicle owners' mobile devices; no APIs, DMS integrations, mobile applications, patents, or proprietary AI/ML components are disclosed. The company operates with a small team of approximately five employees, and the go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales motion led by two named contacts (Dan Tully, Matt Smyth) selling rooftop-by-rooftop into dealer groups. The business model is a recurring SaaS subscription, although pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company markets projected dealer-level ROI metrics including +19.7% labor increase, +19% customer pay labor, and $1.48 million projected annual revenue lift per dealer, supported by the claim that more than 10% of lost sales are recaptured.
