KUKUI is a SaaS marketing and customer relationship platform built specifically for the automotive aftermarket. Its 'All-in-One Success Platform' connects directly to a repair shop's point-of-sale system and bundles branded websites, CRM, digital advertising, call tracking, online scheduling, text and email marketing, review management, and analytics so independent auto shops can track ROI, win new customers, and bring existing ones back. The Hawaiian word 'kukui' means enlightenment, and the company frames its job as giving shop owners clear, data-backed visibility into marketing that used to be a guessing game. More than 2,200 auto repair businesses across the U.S. and Canada run on the platform.
