Tampa, Florida – February 9, 2023 – STELLA Automotive AI, retail automotive’s fastest-growing and award-winning conversational AI technology provider, is now the recipient of the 2023 AWA Award for Digital Voice Assistant.

STELLA is answering phones for a wide spectrum of franchise dealer groups, call centers, service desks, and reception.

The AWA Digital Voice Assistant award recognizes STELLA, the premium conversational AI-enabled voice assistant, for its ability to handle all inbound calls for dealerships- regardless of volume. STELLA ensures a professional customer experience, helps customers quickly get to the right person or department, and schedules customer appointments without any human intervention. STELLA can answer frequently asked questions, book appointments, transcribe voice mail messages and deliver those same messages via email. STELLA provides customers with a professional experience 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at a lower cost than employees or outsourced BDC operations.

“The technology behind STELLA is mind-blowing when you consider all of the ways the software can deal with accents and communication and then also look up the exact vehicles that the customer owns to book the right vehicle with the right op codes,” says Brian Pasch, author and industry leader in automotive marketing strategies, online dealer education, marketing analytics, and digital retailing.

According to Jennifer Sanford, vice president of marketing for STELLA Automotive AI, “The AWA team does their homework. They research the submissions both with dealers and with industry technology experts to ensure that these products offer real and meaningful benefits: improving the consumer experience and creating operational efficiencies. Dealers – and consumers – benefit from their research and findings.”
