The core capabilities you count on today carry forward: inbound call answering, appointment scheduling, department routing, after-hours coverage, and SMS follow-up. Your dedicated migration lead, Samantha Sabo, comes to Impel directly from Toma and understands both technologies. She’ll ensure your workflows, processes, and team preferences are reflected in your Impel configuration.
Samantha Sabo is Impel’s Senior Customer Success Voice AI Lead. She joined Impel directly from Toma, bringing deep knowledge of the Toma platform and hands-on experience with the workflows Toma customers have built. Samantha leads every Toma migration personally to ensure a seamless transition.
No. Voice AI picks up calls instantly with the same natural, humanlike conversation quality your customers are used to. The transition happens behind the scenes — your customers experience the same seamless service, and your team gains sharper tools and deeper context on every call.
Impel Voice AI adds several capabilities Toma didn’t offer: live customer recognition from your DMS before the call connects, a shared AI Knowledge Bank across voice and chat, Agent Studio for self-serve configurability, a prioritized advisor worklist with AI-generated summaries and sentiment indicators, and post-transfer transcription. Beyond voice, Impel’s AI Operating System connects Chat AI, Sales AI, Service AI, Marketing AI, and Merchandising AI in one platform — so voice isn’t an island anymore.
Impel Voice AI integrates directly into your existing IVR system and connects to your DMS in real time. It also integrates with leading schedulers including Xtime to book appointments live on the call. No rip-and-replace required.
Samantha and her team handle the migration to minimize disruption to your day-to-day operations. The timeline depends on your specific setup, but the goal is always speed with zero gaps in coverage. Your calls don’t stop and neither does your service.
No, and that’s the biggest difference. Impel is the only enterprise-grade AI Operating System built for automotive retail. Voice AI is one capability within a platform that also includes Chat AI, Sales AI, Service AI, Marketing AI, and Merchandising AI. Everything shares one Knowledge Bank, one customer view, and one advisor worklist. Moving to Impel means your voice investment connects to every other part of the customer lifecycle.
