Overview

Toma is an enterprise-grade AI voice platform and operating system custom-built for automotive dealerships. The software creates highly sophisticated AI voice agents that pick up 100% of inbound store phone calls with human-like accuracy and conversational nuance. By integrating directly into native industry systems like Dealer Management Systems (DMS) and automotive CRMs, the platform automates service appointments, checks recalls, and qualifies leads around the clock. It captures millions in service revenue while freeing frontline dealership staff from routine call overhead.

Founder story

Toma was founded in early 2024 by tech innovators Monik Pamecha and Anthony Krivonos in San Francisco. To deeply understand the immense pressure plaguing car dealerships, the founders completely immersed themselves inside active operations rooms. They realized that massive amounts of inbound business revenue evaporated simply because shorthanded teams couldn't pick up the phone fast enough. They engineered an autonomous vocal agent system specifically aligned to car dealer workflows.
