Our take
Pinewood.AI is an Automotive Intelligence Platform tailored for car retailers and manufacturers (OEMs), helping them drive growth and profitability across every area of their operations. Essentially, it functions like a modern Dealership Management System (DMS) but more powerful, combining sales, service, accounting, customer engagement, and business intelligence in one system.
The platform stands out by leveraging real-time data and AI to give users visibility and insight into everything that happens at a dealership. It also supports OEMS by allowing tight integration between manufacturers and their retail networks, so that manufacturers can maintain a consistent, data-driven customer experience across markets.
Pinewood has also experienced significant momentum recently, with its H1 FY25 revenue rising by 21.7% to £19.6M, driven largely by recurring spending from existing clients and the integration of its Seez AI solution. Gross profit also climbed 17.2%, and its underlying EBITDA reached £7.9M, a testament to both growth and operational leverage. With this strong momentum, the company has even bigger targets for the years to come.
