Online Inventory Management Tools
We offer you the ability to manage your inventory and photos online.
You can use our software as a total inventory management solution. From one point of entry, you can create window stickers, federal buyers guides, vehicle brochures, and vehicle check-in reports. You can also create inventory reports for your salespeople.
Our software is all Internet based,
so no installation is required, and you don't have to worry about backing up or losing the data. Use it on every computer at your dealership (including multiple buildings), at home, or any computer that has Microsoft Internet Explorer 6. Plus, if you have our
CarShoppe VinPlus product, you can even use it on the lot, at the auction, or on the road.
Other inventory and window sticker programs are not Internet based.
This makes them more of a headache. They can only be installed on one computer and you find yourself fighting over that computer. If the computer goes down, you've likely lost all your information, and you find yourself scrambling to get it working again. These programs also have compatibility issues with other programs and Windows. We have talked to dealerships before that have to dedicate a whole computer to an old application that doesn't work on the newest version of Windows, or too many people need access to it. Technology has evolved... and you found it!
Use our software to manage your inventory and Internet advertising from one point of entry.
We automatically update your website and send your vehicle information to 3rd parties every night. We will broadcast your data to as many third parties as you would like. Be it one or
thirty, it is only $59.95 a month. Including AutoTrader.com, Ford Direct, GM DealerWorld, Cars.com, AutoBytel, UsedCars.com, Reynolds Web Solutions, Cobalt, DealerSkins, FindAutos.com, or any other 3rd party. (View current list)
We will even pull your inventory from your DMS
(if supported). With this feature all you have to do is log in and the vehicle will already be in our system. Vehicles are automatically added and removed from our application, your website, and 3rd parties as you add and sell vehicles in your DMS. This feature is only $59.95 a month!

There are 4 types of car dealerships. Which one are you?
(Click the links to show and hide information about the
different scenarios)
|
1.
|
You
currently use Dealer Specialties or some other "On The Lot" company.
|
|
-
You are probably paying $10 to $15 per car for this type of service.
-
They typically only come once a week, and sometimes don't even show up...
-
If they come once a week, then your website and other websites, like
AutoTrader.com, likely get updated only once a week. It is very hard to sell a
vehicle on the Internet if it isn't on the Internet. You need to get your
vehicles online and for sale the minute they come on your lot. This will help
you sell more cars and turn your inventory faster.
-
It is harder to sell vehicles that are not properly presented on the lot while
they are waiting for someone to show up.
Now you have the opportunity to save money,
take control, get your vehicles to the Internet faster, and create better
looking window stickers that are branded to your dealership.
|
|
2.
|
You
currently create your own window stickers.
|
|
-
We can offer you the ultimate application for creating your own window
stickers. Our features will far surpass your current solution.
-
Our software is perhaps more expensive at first glance, but we offer a lot of
benefits that will save you time and money overall:
-
Our application is much easier to use than other applications, like
the "Blue Book" window sticker program. We can decode the equipment
information automatically.
-
It is Internet based and can be used anywhere at the dealership and by mutliple
users.
-
Our window stickers have more detailed information, can be branded to your
dealership, and better present your vehicles and dealership. Stop putting those
ugly window stickers on your vehicles that you are forced to use by other
applications.
-
We integrate with your DMS. No longer do you have to manually re-enter the
vehicle information into another program. We can tell you which vehicles
you need to create window stickers for.
-
We can send your inventory to other 3rd parties automatically, therefore
creating a central point for managing your inventory.
-
The detailed equipment information that is decoded is also sent to your website
and to other 3rd parties. No longer do you have to login to Ad
Manager on AutoTrader.com to manually add vehicles and type in all the
equipment information.

|
3.
|
You
currently don't have window stickers on your vehicles.
|
|
Window stickers are a wonderful sales tool for your salespeople and for
customers who are browsing on the lot during or after hours. Window stickers
help make your vehicles and dealership look more professional.
You probably have tried the "On The Lot" companies in the past and found them
unreliable or too expensive. You may have tried to create your own window
stickers, but found it too time consuming.
Well now there is finally a solution
for you. You can now create your window
stickers with a couple clicks of a
mouse.
