Xtime + Bayworks: Smarter Service Scheduling

Xtime already manages your service appointments, repair orders, and customer history. Bayworks connects to it so your AI service agent can answer scheduling questions, check RO status, and book appointments — without anyone picking up the phone.

Overview

Xtime, a Cox Automotive company, is one of the most widely used service lane platforms in North America. Thousands of dealerships rely on it to manage appointment scheduling, repair order tracking, customer history, and service catalogs. If your service department runs on Xtime, the data your advisors use every day is already structured, accurate, and up to date.

Bayworks connects directly to Xtime to read that data in real time. The result: your AI service agent can handle the questions that currently interrupt your advisors — status checks, scheduling requests, service history lookups — without any manual handoff.

What Bayworks reads from Xtime

The Xtime integration gives Bayworks access to the core data your service department operates on:

Service appointments

Bayworks reads your appointment calendar in real time — open slots, booked appointments, advisor assignments, and customer drop-off details. When a customer contacts Bayworks to schedule a service visit, it books directly into Xtime. No double-entry, no separate calendar to manage.

Repair orders

Bayworks can look up open and closed repair orders by customer, vehicle, or advisor. When a customer texts asking about their car, Bayworks reads the current RO status from Xtime and responds with where the vehicle is in the service workflow — in plain language, not an internal status code.

Service history

Past service history is one of the most useful signals for anticipating what a customer needs next. Bayworks reads vehicle service history from Xtime to give customers accurate information about past work and to flag when upcoming maintenance is due.

Service catalog

Xtime's service catalog contains the specific services your dealership offers, their descriptions, and estimated durations. Bayworks reads from it so customers get accurate answers about what a specific service involves and how long it takes — your catalog, not a generic industry estimate.

Note

Bayworks never invents an answer. If the data isn't in Xtime — for example, an RO that hasn't been opened yet — Bayworks says so and offers to connect the customer with a live advisor. The handoff is built into every conversation.

What changes for your service team

The volume of routine inbound contact — status checks, appointment confirmations, scheduling requests — doesn't go away when you add Bayworks. It gets redirected. Customers reach Bayworks first; the ones who need a human get one.

What your advisors stop doing:

  • Answering "is my car ready?" calls while they're mid-writeup with another customer
  • Manually checking Xtime to read back an appointment time a customer forgot
  • Taking scheduling calls that could have been handled by the AI at any hour

What your advisors keep doing: the conversations that actually require their expertise — explaining recommended repairs, building trust with customers, handling exceptions.

Tip

Because Bayworks reads directly from Xtime, your advisors don't need to train on or even know about the integration. Their workflow in Xtime doesn't change — appointments appear, ROs update, and the AI handles the communication layer automatically.

How the connection works

Bayworks integrates with Xtime through Xtime's certified partner program. The connection is authenticated at the partner level — Bayworks is a certified Xtime integration partner, which means the dealership doesn't need a separate developer account or any technical resources to set it up.

During onboarding, Bayworks links to your specific Xtime dealer instance using a unique dealer identifier. The connection is scoped to your dealership's data — no other dealer's appointments, repair orders, or customer records are accessible.

The integration supports both reading from and writing to Xtime. Read access is enabled by default for appointment availability, RO status, and service history. Appointment write-back — creating new appointments in Xtime when customers book through Bayworks — is enabled as a second step with your sign-off.

Get started

If your dealership uses Xtime for service scheduling, the integration is available today. Setup happens during your Bayworks onboarding session — your team doesn't touch any configuration in Xtime, and nothing about how your advisors use Xtime changes.
