Toyota of Orlando uses Zapier AI and automation to handle 4,000–5,000 leads per month and survive a ransomware outage
Toyota of Orlando faced two compounding challenges: a ransomware attack that disabled their CRM and left sales teams blind to new leads during a month-long outage, and an ongoing operational problem of 200+ daily leads arriving in inconsistent formats that made routing error-prone and time-consuming.
The CDK ransomware attack took down the dealership's CRM system entirely, described as a disaster for operations.
The internet sales department operated without disruption through the month-long outage.
The permanent automated system now handles 4,000–5,000 leads per month with over 30,000 clean records stored and no manual input required. An AI agent flags issues and saves hours weekly.
