The combined platform is designed to merge PureCars’ advertising technology, CDP, DMP, and agentic AI with AutoAlert’s CRM, marketing engagement, and customer loyalty capabilities. PureCars says the unified offering will help dealers and manufacturers improve visibility across the automotive lifecycle by connecting identified leads to cross-channel engagement.
PureCars is backed by Diversis Capital and Stage 1 Ventures, and Presidio Technology Partners served as AutoAlert’s exclusive financial advisor.
