Spyne's Vini AI platform integrates with CDK for automotive dealerships

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Spyne, an AI-powered retail technology company for the automotive industry, has announced a significant partnership with CDK to integrate its Vini AI platform into The Fortellis Marketplace. This collaboration will enable dealers, developers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to rapidly develop new solutions aimed at streamlining dealer operations.

Sanjay Varnwal, Co-Founder and CEO of Spyne, expressed enthusiasm about the integration, stating, "Our goal at Spyne is to make AI genuinely useful for automotive dealerships. Our integration with CDK and availability through Fortellis brings Vini closer to the day-to-day workflows of dealerships, helping sales and service teams engage customers faster, more consistently, and at scale. We're excited to see the impact this can have across the U.S. automotive market."

Vini AI, designed by Spyne, supports inbound and outbound customer engagements across dealership sales and service operations. It assists dealerships in responding to customer inquiries, managing follow-ups, and handling customer communication at scale.

The Fortellis Marketplace is an online automotive commerce exchange that facilitates the exchange of information and data in an open, secure, and accessible global network. CDK’s platform enables Spyne to provide dealers with access to an AI-powered sales and service engagement tool through Vini, which helps dealerships manage inbound and outbound customer interactions, improve responsiveness, and support larger volumes of customer communication within their existing technology environment.

Spyne supports over 3,000 dealerships worldwide in building AI-powered digital storefronts with premium merchandising and conversational agents that drive appointments through seamless lead handling and customer engagement. Serving dealerships and OEMs across the United States, Europe, EMEA, and APAC, Spyne is at the forefront of transforming automotive retail with cutting-edge AI solutions.
