OCAL Financial Signs Exclusive Agreement With SalesCloser Technologies to Deploy AI Sales Agents Across the Vehicle-Finance Journey
Partnership to advance toward AI that manages the full sales cycle, from first contact to financing, closing and vehicle sourcing
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 13, 2026) - OCAL Financial Inc. (TSXV: OCAL) ("OCAL" or the "Company") today announced that it has signed an exclusive agreement with SalesCloser Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: SCAI) (OTCQB: SCTLF) ("SalesCloser") to deploy SalesCloser's conversational AI sales-agent technology across OCAL's vehicle-finance operations. The agreement gives OCAL the rights to use SalesCloser's technology in its market, utilizing OCAL's proprietary knowledge base.
SalesCloser, based in Vancouver and listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, builds AI-powered virtual sales agents that hold real, personalized sales conversations over voice, video and browser-based calls. Its agents qualify leads, run product demonstrations, answer questions, follow up and schedule meetings, in multiple languages, and integrate with existing customer-relationship-management and business systems. The platform is designed to give a business far more selling capacity without adding people at the same rate, while keeping every interaction consistent and on-message.
For OCAL, the agreement is a meaningful step up in capability. The Company already uses voice AI to reach and qualify people looking to finance a vehicle. SalesCloser's technology extends that from voice alone to full conversational selling across voice, video and screen-shared demonstrations, handled by AI agents that can operate at scale and around the clock. OCAL intends to put these agents to work across its funnel, from first contact through to guiding a customer toward an approval.
OCAL and SalesCloser also intend to work together on technology aimed at a larger goal: an AI system that can manage the entire vehicle-purchase cycle from end to end. The objective is for AI agents to take a customer from first contact, through financing and the structuring of an approved deal, to closing, and through to sourcing the right vehicle from the OPENLANE (NYSE: OPNL) auction network that OCAL already uses.
If realized, that kind of end-to-end automation would sit at the center of OCAL's economics. Much of the cost and time in auto finance comes from the human work of engaging customers, structuring deals and moving each one through to funding. Software that can carry more of that work, consistently and at scale, is directly relevant to OCAL's cost per funded deal, the speed of its cycle, and its ability to grow across markets without growing headcount at the same pace. It is also the kind of capability that is difficult for a traditional, lot-based dealer to match.
