Cruise Control
Setup once, automate forever — automated customer communications, reviews, and social post
Cruise Control is an automation platform for small businesses that connects to an e-commerce store or invoicing platform to handle outbound customer communications, review collection, and social media posting. It is organized into three modules — Communicator (calls and texts), Reviews (feedback and review requests), and Social (auto-posting and AI captions) — all managed from a single dashboard.
Integrations include QuickBooks, X-Cart, WordPress, Google Analytics, MailChimp, Dropbox, and Rentmaster. Features include automated calls and texts, text-to-voice, personalized messages with merge tags, push-to-talk, AI replies to online reviews, auto-posting schedules, bulk image uploads, image editing, AI caption generation, collaboration tools, and analytics. Automations can be triggered by events such as invoice due, payment due, delivery updates, quote sent, proposal reminders, abandoned carts, and new lead follow-ups.
Cruise Control is aimed at small business owners. Plans are available as a bundle or as individual modules, billed monthly or annually, with a 14-day free trial that requires no credit card. Usage is based on credits for calls and texts, with additional credits available for purchase. Additional businesses, locations, or brands can be added as paid add-ons. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time, and plans can be paused for up to two consecutive months once per year.
