How Daylight works.

Daylight isn't a report you buy. It's a data foundation you own, with an AI that answers questions from it. Six stages turn raw DMS exports into answers in plain English.

DMS (CDK) Your data
Secure ingestion SFTP + PGP
Owned warehouse Snowflake, you own it
Modeled metrics Sales · F&I · Service · Parts · GL · CSI
Reports Daily + month-end
Ask Claude Plain English, per-user access
Step 1

Your DMS

Daylight connects directly to your DMS and pulls your data. First connector: CDK (Data Your Way).

Step 2

Secure ingestion

Encrypted in transit and at rest — SFTP with PGP. Nothing sensitive moves in the clear.

Step 3

A warehouse you own

Your data lands in a Snowflake warehouse that you control. Your data, your asset — not rented.

Step 4

Modeled, tested metrics

Version-controlled dbt models turn raw DMS exports into clean sales, F&I, service, parts, GL, and CSI metrics — with the messy edge cases handled.

Step 5

Reports that run themselves

Formatted daily and month-end reports, built and delivered automatically. Live dashboards in early access.

Step 6

Ask it anything

Your warehouse connects to Claude through a secure MCP layer, with access set per user. Your people open Claude, ask a question in plain English, and get the answer from your numbers in seconds. The GM sees his store. The owner sees the group.
