Reading, 07 August 2025. Keyloop has signed a new partnership agreement with ThoughtSpot, the Agentic Analytics Platform company, to help accelerate the deployment of artificial intelligence-driven business intelligence (BI) tools to Keyloop customers.
The partnership will enable Keyloop to provide a range of reporting and analysis capabilities that are not otherwise available via existing BI solution providers, supporting smarter and faster decision-making. Retailers will be able to tailor their reports using simple, agentic natural language prompts, while sophisticated predictive trend analysis and automated workflows will guide motor retailers on how to stay ahead of emerging risks and counter potential costs.
Keyloop and ThoughtSpot are collaborating currently on the architecture and key functionality of VEGA, Keyloop’s new suite of business intelligence tools that offer real-time data capture and automated insights. Integrating with major Keyloop software solutions, VEGA will help retailers evaluate key aspects of their performance and identify how best to maximise customer and vehicle lifetime value, reducing costs and increasing margins.
Incorporating market-leading AI capabilities from the outset, VEGA tools will be introduced to early adopters in September as an enhancement to Keyloop’s market-leading Dealer Management System (DMS).
The new tools will then become an embedded feature of the various software products comprised within Fusion, Keyloop’s new Automotive Retail Platform (ARP). The AI functionality will guide teams on how to stay ahead of emerging risks and counter potential costs with sophisticated predictive trend analysis and automated workflows. Retailers will also have access to actionable insights covering a wide range of key dealership functions, such as new and used car sales, aftersales, finance, and parts and vehicle inventory.
Tim Smith, Chief Strategy Officer at Keyloop comments: “While automotive dealerships increasingly rely on data to drive profitability and improve customer experience, many still deal with disconnected systems, outdated reporting, and limited access to real-time intelligence. We recognised that retailers need top-of-the-line solutions to navigate these challenges and to make faster, smarter and more informed business decisions. ThoughtSpot was the clear provider of choice as a leader in agentic AI, and this partnership will deliver the insights and efficiencies that retailers need to drive operational efficiency, reduce costs and respond to emerging challenges.”
Francois Lopitaux, SVP of Product Management at ThoughtSpot, adds: “Keyloop is setting a new standard for what modern automotive retailers should expect from their data. By embedding ThoughtSpot’s agentic analytics capabilities into VEGA, Keyloop is transforming how data is operationalised across the retail automotive ecosystem, enabling every dealership professional – not just data specialists – to instantly access powerful actionable insights in plain language. We look forward to our partnership helping automotive retailers unlock real-time intelligence, drive smarter decisions, and build stronger, more profitable customer relationships.”
The Fusion ARP helps motor retailers manage and optimise the full vehicle sales, inventory management and aftersales processes – from initial enquiry through to ownership and retention. Fusion incorporates four distinct ‘domains’ – Demand, Supply, Ownership and Operate – covering all key functions within a dealership business. Keyloop’s market-leading DMS forms a key part of the ‘Operate’ domain.
