Company mission

Impel's mission is to drive the auto industry forward.

Our take

Rapidly changing consumer behaviors, evolving market dynamics, and shifting macroeconomic conditions have driven demand for digital technology in all sectors, with the automotive industry seeing unprecedented demand for the technology.

Answering the call for new technology is Impel, a digital engagement software developer that provides automotive manufacturers, marketplaces, and dealers with a suite of AI-powered solutions to deliver more engaging omnichannel customer experiences while driving greater operational efficiency.

That past few years have seen traditional operating models transform with digital technology as car buying is evolving to having a heightened focus on eCommerce functionality. With more than 4,000 customers, the company’s applications have powered more than 5 billion shopper interactions (in over 50 countries) and influenced nearly $2 billion in vehicle sales and service transactions.

The company’s impressive funding and over 100% revenue growth in the past year have enabled the company to invest in further optimization of its digital engagement software, mergers, and acquisitions, setting Impel up to see strong growth.
