Unfortunately, the options out there not only look and function poorly but are ridiculously expensive. Also, the ever increasing number of sticker printing companies and portal services likewise have not had a reliable and quality "ready-to-roll" solution at their disposal. Enter the new WalkTheLot.com where this void is filled and ready for your use in mere minutes, without hundreds of thousands of dollars in development time. WalkTheLot.com is not only great for service companies but may also be used by Dealerships who have either one dealership, or better yet, multiple dealerships that they want to manage inventory within one easy to use and customizable system so that they may list their inventory either combined (all dealerships) or by individual dealership. A perfect solution for Dealerships either already using DeskLot or those who want to replace a sticker service by doing it themselves (now they CAN by using DeskLot to print stickers and publish to other services and WalkTheLot.com to list their website inventory).
Basic Examples (under normal circumstances you would include these links within FRAMES in your existing site):
The following links are available for each dealership account as well as for the master account and each page for each account can be custom configured uniquely:
As mentioned, the typical use of WalkTheLot.com is for window sticker service companies (who typically use our DeskLot product) or other companies who collect vehicle data and have a need to be able to provide the dealership with a top-quality and highly customizable system for listing their inventory. The dealer service company collects the data from the dealership and uses a software product such as DeskLot to not only print window stickers and buyers guides and dump data to other services but also to dump the data to WalkTheLot.com via FTP, much in the same fashion that you would with other major services. Once the data dump is imported, you, the master account owner get a report letting you know that everything was imported fine, or in the case of an error, exact details on what records could not be imported and why. The dealer service company signs up for a WalkTheLot.com account, and once they have done so, creates individual dealership accounts for each of their dealers. Each of these accounts and their associated settings and web page configurations may be customized to match the dealers site or simply to take on the look and feel the service company desires.
Each of the dealerships have their own login name and password so that they may login to their individual account and delete vehicles that have been sold, update prices, etc. In fact, you, the master account owner can even configure permissions for each of your dealers to allow or disallow them the ability to change certain vehicle data. You even have control to Freeze individual dealership accounts within your account if need be (i.e. they didn't pay you in time). The primary means of getting the vehicle data to WalkTheLot.com is done through our DeskLot Window Sticker Printing and Data Publishing Software (sold separately), however, you may use another package if you like as long as it is able to provide the data to WalkTheLot.com in the format required. Additionally, dealers (or you) may manually enter vehicle data and upload photo's if desired.
Note: The master account gets billed on the 1st of each month for all vehicles that existed in all of the sub accounts for the previous month as well as for any additional services provisioned for all dealership accounts within the master account.
