About

Built at the intersection of two decades in the car business and agentic AI.

Vandoko was built because the data a dealer needs to run his own market was always public, and nobody was assembling it for him. We assemble it, we hand it over, and what we build you keep.

No auction. We do not own a wholesale marketplace. We have no interest in where your units go or what you take at auction, so the pricing view you get is yours alone.

No percentage of spend. We own no ad inventory and we never bill as a share of your media. A flat monthly fee, month to month, with media billed at cost.

No annual term. Month to month, and the rate you start on is the rate you keep. Nothing about the commercial terms depends on you being too busy to leave.

No lock-in. You own the ad accounts, the agents, the captured data and the full history from day one. The engagement is built to leave, which is what makes staying a decision.

Every tool you have tells you what already happened.

Ask whatever you own today whether it has ever told you something before you went looking for it. Retrospective is just a report you can’t do anything about. What we built tells you what moved inside twenty-four hours, with the thing to do about it attached. And you can check that against your own market rather than take our word for it.

The Founder’s Desk
Michael Donovan on a dealership lot after close, under the light poles
I'm Michael Donovan. I've spent 20+ years in automotive retail. Not adjacent to it, in it. That is the only reason I know which numbers a dealer acts on and which ones just look good in a deck.In 2012 I shipped SMS redemption with an instant BDC handoff: the lead reached the desk at the moment the customer redeemed, sub-30-second response. Vandoko runs on the same instinct. Know the market before the day starts, and put the move in front of the person who can make it.

We were doing this before it had a name.

Start my trial

For the 2 decades I've worked in the car business, there's 1 lesson that holds true. That no matter what direction the latest trend is heading, the industry as a whole will determine what's going to stick.

My mission hasn't changed, and I am more determined than ever to help as many dealers drive growth directly to the bottom line.
