Auto Groups
Group-level control. Store-level autonomy.
Groups do not have a technology problem so much as a consistency problem. Ottonomous lets the group set the rules and the stores keep their own voice, their own numbers and their own permissions.
What this usually costs today
- A different vendor stack per rooftop
- Consolidated reporting assembled by hand
- A central marketing team stretched across stores
- Compliance oversight that only catches problems after the fact
One platform, one bill, and the apps that cover each of those.
Scope
Store, location, department, user group
Every record, assistant and routine is scoped. A store sees its own data, the group sees the roll-up, and nobody sees what they should not.
- Permissions by group, rooftop and department
- Roll-up reporting without cross-store leakage
- Roles that survive staff turnover
Standards
Set once, applied everywhere
Knowledge, tone, escalation rules and approval thresholds published from the group, with room for a store to differ where it should.
- Group knowledge inherited by every rooftop
- Store-level overrides where they are warranted
- Changes rolled out in one pass
Rollout
Prove it on one store first
Turn an app on for one rooftop, watch the numbers, then roll it out. Autonomy is set per location, so nothing moves faster than you want.
- Autonomy level per store and per job
- Baselines frozen so the comparison is honest
- Promote a store when it earns it
Where to start
The apps auto groups turn on first.
Start with one. Add the next when the first has paid for itself.
Analytics
Sales, service, marketing and web in one model, so the meeting is about what to do rather than whose report is right.
BDC
Every lead gets a real answer the moment it lands, on the channel it came in on, and keeps getting followed up until it books or closes.
Paid Media
Campaigns paced daily, creative refreshed when the offer changes, and reporting that reconciles back to your own data.
CRM
Customers, deals and history in one place, kept current by the assistant instead of by whoever remembers.
Website
Vehicle pages, landing pages and specials, written for search engines and AI answers alike, maintained by an assistant that never gets behind.
Questions
What this segment always asks.
Can we run this alongside our existing stack?
Yes, and most groups do at first. Connectors read and write the systems you already run, so a pilot does not require ripping anything out.
How is pricing structured for a group?
Per location, per app, with group pricing once you are past a handful of rooftops. Talk to us and we will put a number on it.
Not quite you?
We work with a few kinds of store.
