EvenFlow AI Secures $1.5 Million to Revolutionize Automotive Service Departments

EvenFlow AI, a trailblazing startup leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance dealership service department efficiency and revenue, has raised $1.5 million in seed funding. This financing round, led by Automotive Ventures and FM Capital, aims to transform how automotive dealerships manage service lane capacity and unlock untapped revenue potential across North America.

The company’s innovative SaaS platform employs advanced algorithms and dynamic configurations to optimize service appointment scheduling. Historically, dealership service departments have struggled with underinvestment in operational tools, often leaving up to 20% of potential revenue on the table. EvenFlow AI addresses this challenge by equipping service managers with AI-driven tools that pace repair order flow, ensuring that vehicles are fully serviced while improving customer satisfaction.

Dave Anderson, CEO and Founder of EvenFlow AI highlighted the critical need for such solutions in the automotive industry. “With a perpetual shortage of service technicians, dealers are challenged to grow Fixed Operations through hiring alone and must find operational improvements. Appointment scheduling is at the forefront of these efforts. Unfortunately, service managers have traditionally lacked the tools to load their shop effectively,” said Anderson. “Our solution equips dealerships with AI-driven tools that pace the flow of repair orders so every vehicle can be fully serviced while improving the overall customer experience.”

Drawing on best practices from industries like airlines and healthcare, which also deal with fixed operational capacity, EvenFlow AI introduces advanced predictive scheduling and demand management techniques to the automotive sector. The platform accommodates various appointment types, from express oil changes to warranty recall work, ensuring dealerships can balance customer demands and operational efficiency. These tools have delivered measurable results, with service revenue increases ranging from 10% to 25%.

Automotive Ventures and FM Capital’s investment in EvenFlow AI underscores their shared vision for advancing dealership operations. Steve Greenfield, General Partner at Automotive Ventures, stated, “EvenFlow AI represents an exciting convergence of AI, process automation, and analytics aimed squarely at addressing a critical need for dealerships: operational efficiency in fixed operations. By improving capacity management and revenue yield, EvenFlow AI is poised to transform how dealerships handle service demand and deliver higher customer satisfaction.”

EvenFlow AI’s leadership brings unique expertise outside the automotive industry, focusing on capacity and revenue optimization. Founder Dave Anderson’s background includes roles at United Airlines, where such strategies are crucial to operational success. This cross-industry experience gives EvenFlow AI a strategic edge, allowing the company to apply proven methodologies to dealership service departments and unlock significant revenue opportunities.

The automotive market presents a substantial opportunity for EvenFlow AI. As dealerships increasingly prioritize service department profitability in response to challenges with variable-side revenue, the platform’s AI-driven approach offers a scalable solution. As the platform expands, EvenFlow’s proprietary dataset will enhance scheduling accuracy and revenue optimization, creating network effects that benefit all users.

Chase Fraser, Managing Partner at FM Capital, emphasized the platform’s potential, stating, “FM Capital sees EvenFlow AI as a leader in the AI-based transformation of dealership service departments. The solution’s ability to streamline service lane operations while delivering significant revenue growth potential aligns with our investment focus on high-impact, scalable technologies.”

With this new funding, EvenFlow AI is set to redefine the standard for service lane efficiency, offering dealerships a competitive edge in maximizing operational capacity and enhancing customer experiences. The company’s innovative approach ensures that dealerships across North America are better equipped to meet the demands of modern automotive service operations.
