Does Flyntlok AI cost extra?

AI-powered features are being rolled out to Flyntlok customers as part of the platform's ongoing development, backed by the $36 million growth investment from Mainsail Partners. Feature availability and any premium capabilities will depend on your plan. Contact the Flyntlok team for current details on which AI features are included and the roadmap ahead.

What data does Flyntlok AI use?

Your dealership's own operational data, the transactions, parts orders, service records, customer interactions, and inventory movements that already live inside your Flyntlok DMS. No external data is required. No manual data prep. Your dealership data stays inside Flyntlok and is never shared with other dealers, used to train models for competitors, or sold to third parties.

Do I need to set anything up to use AI features?

No. Flyntlok AI is built into the DMS and operates on data your team is already generating through normal dealership operations. There is no separate setup project, no data migration, and no integration to configure. As AI features roll out, they appear inside the Flyntlok interface your team already uses: the same CRM Hub, the same inventory tools, the same service dashboard.

What is Mainsail AI Labs?

Mainsail AI Labs is the AI division of Mainsail Partners, the growth equity firm that invested $36 million in Flyntlok. The Lab brings AI and machine learning expertise from working with over 100 B2B software companies to Flyntlok's product development team, ensuring that every AI feature is built specifically for equipment dealer workflows, trained on equipment dealer data, and validated against real dealer outcomes. This is not a partnership with a generic AI vendor. It's a dedicated resource inside Flyntlok's investor that exists to make AI work for vertical SaaS companies.

Will AI replace my sales team or service advisors?

No. Flyntlok AI is designed to make every person in your dealership more effective, not to reduce headcount. AI surfaces the opportunities your team doesn't have time to find manually, flags the risks that are invisible at human scale, and automates the routine tasks that consume time better spent on customers. Your salespeople still close deals. Your service advisors still manage the shop. AI makes sure they're focused on the highest-value work, with the best available information, at the right time.

How does AI connect to the CRM?

AI-generated sales opportunities, customer re-engagement recommendations, and lead prioritization signals route directly into the Flyntlok CRM Hub. Your sales team sees AI-powered suggestions alongside their existing leads and pipeline, same interface, same workflow, no additional login. When AI identifies a customer likely to purchase, it creates a lead in the CRM with full context: who the customer is, what equipment is relevant, what action is predicted, and why. Your salesperson picks up the phone with everything they need.

AI for Equipment Dealers | AI-Powered DMS Features

AI for Equipment Dealers

Not a bolt-on. Not a black box. Flyntlok AI turns your dealership data into real-time recommendations, automated follow-ups, and smarter decisions you can act on

Request Demo

Platform Overview

Every AI feature operates on real dealer data inside Flyntlok. No separate platform. No data export. No setup project. What's more, Flyntlok AI isn't designed to replace dealership expertise. It handles repetitive work, surfaces useful information, and gives your team a faster starting point, while your people review, approve, edit, and make the decisions that matter.

Parts

Smart Receive

AI reads vendor invoices and handles the repetitive receiving work: capturing costs, quantities, fees, and discrepancies so your parts team can review instead of re-key.

Service

Smart Tech Notes

Technicians speak naturally about the repair and AI turns it into clear Complaint, Cause, and Correction notes, helping techs get back to billable work faster.

CRM

Smart Campaigns

Turn the customer and equipment data already inside Flyntlok into targeted SMS outreach, with AI helping build audiences and draft the message.

Why It Matters

Equipment dealers manage millions of part numbers, thousands of equipment models, seasonal demand cycles that compress a year of service into four months, multi-brand pricing structures that change weekly, warranty timelines across a dozen OEMs, and customer fleets that rotate every eighteen months. That data already exists inside your DMS. It has for years.

The problem isn't data collection — it's visibility. No human team, regardless of size, can process every transaction pattern across every customer, every part, every location, and every season simultaneously. So opportunities go unnoticed. A customer whose equipment is approaching a maintenance window that your service team doesn't know about. A part that's going to stockout two weeks before spring rush based on a pattern only visible in three years of order history. A lead that went dormant but just purchased a machine from your competitor — detectable in the gap between their expected and actual ordering pattern.

Flyntlok AI, developed in partnership with Mainsail AI Labs, doesn't bolt on a generic intelligence layer. It's built directly on the data your dealership creates every day inside Flyntlok — and it puts actionable signals in front of the right person, in the right workflow, at the right time.

smarter receiving

Inventory receiving is one of the most critical workflows inside a dealership — and one of the most manual. Shipments arrive during peak business hours. Parts teams stop what they’re doing. Someone grabs an invoice and manually checks line items against purchase orders one by one. If there’s a discrepancy, it may not get caught until much later when a technician can’t find a part or a salesperson realizes inventory counts are wrong. For most dealerships, receiving is still reactive, time-consuming, and highly dependent on tribal knowledge.

That’s exactly why we built Smart Receive.

Match invoice lines to purchase orders

Detect pricing discrepancies, and flag missing or unexpected parts

Automatically add freight and fees

Create receiving vouchers in seconds

Put customer commitments first. When a shipment is short, Smart Receive prioritizes special orders and part requests before replenishing shelf stock.

Smarter Tech notes

Smart Tech Notes is tuned for the terms and natural flow of equipment service work. Technicians capture their work by voice, and Smart Tech Notes turns it into professional notes ready for a quick review. Less time typing for technicians. Less time rewriting for service writers. Clearer service records for all.

Your technicians:
#1. Tap record
#2. Talk through the job using service terms they use every day
#3. Smart Tech Notes transcribes their explanation and turns it into clear Complaint, Cause, Correction notes

Because both the transcription and AI are tuned for real dealership service language, this goes far beyond generic voice-to-text

It removes filler words, restarts, and mid-sentence corrections while preserving critical details like part numbers, serial numbers, torque specs, and hour-meter readings

Industry shorthand such as PM, DEF, and PTO stays intact, not mistakenly “corrected” into something else

Plus, it's available on desktop and mobile, so technicians can document the job wherever the work happens

Smarter customer outreach

Find the Right Customer. Send the Right Message. Faster. Smart Campaigns turns the customer intelligence already sitting inside your DMS into action. Describe who you want to reach and why, and Flyntlok helps build the audience and the outreach, without exporting customer data into another system.

Target customers using machine ownership, service history, warranty status, location, customer tags, Google review ratings, and more.

Use AI to draft and refine targeted SMS messages in seconds.

Preview and test campaigns before they go out.

Schedule outreach for future delivery.

Keep engagement connected to your CRM so the opportunity doesn't disappear after the message is sent.

Inventory intelligence

The Item Genome already contains every part for covered OEM vendors — organized by make, model, and application. Your purchasing team gets a recommendation. They review it. Flyntlok orders it through the OEM integration. No spreadsheet. No guesswork.

Seasonal demand forecasting built from your dealership's own prior-year sales data and current ordering trends

Cross-location inventory balancing recommendations that reduce internal transfers and prevent stockouts at individual branches

Supersession and obsolescence alerts that flag slow-moving parts before they become dead stock consuming shelf space and capital

Margin optimization suggestions based on pricing rules, brand, category, customer type, and competitive positioning

Integrates with existing OEM electronic ordering — Flyntlok recommends, your purchasing team approves, Flyntlok submits the order to Stihl, Husqvarna, John Deere, ECHO, Bobcat, or any covered vendor
