Lineshift at Equip Auto Paris 2025
Lineshift exhibited at Equip Auto Paris 2025. The show gathers manufacturers, suppliers, and aftermarket innovators in one place, and this edition made one thing obvious from the stand: nearly everyone we spoke to had the same unsolved problem with inbound calls.
A booth at the center of innovation
Throughout the event, the Lineshift team welcomed visitors to its booth to show how Voice AI handles customer interactions in automotive businesses.
From car dealerships to repair shops and rental companies, conversations came back to one challenge: high volumes of inbound calls without dropping service quality. Live demos showed AI agents that:
- Answer calls instantly, 24/7
- Qualify leads and capture customer intent
- Automatically book service appointments and reservations
- Hand off to human teams when needed
The booth stayed busy for the whole show, mostly with professionals who want fewer missed calls without adding headcount or operational complexity. The same agent family powers the vertical products behind those demos: the AI receptionist for independent garages and the voice agent for car rental companies.
CEO interview: sharing our vision
During the event, Lineshift's CEO, Julien Mechin, was invited to share his view on the evolution of customer communication in the automotive sector.
In this interview, he discusses:
- Why traditional tools (CRM, call centers, ticketing) are reaching their limits
- How AI agents are redefining responsiveness and availability
- The shift from fragmented software stacks to integrated, AI-native platforms
- The tangible ROI automotive businesses can achieve with automation
What we took away from the floor
Equip Auto 2025 confirmed what the booth traffic already suggested: automotive players are actively shopping for solutions that reduce missed calls and take routine work off their teams.
For Lineshift, the week paid for itself: field feedback from dealerships, repair shops, and rental companies, plus a demo list longer than we could get through. The mission behind the product has not changed: helping automotive businesses never miss an opportunity again.
If missed calls are still costing you appointments, Contact Lineshift AI and we will show you the demo we ran at the booth.
