WalkTheLot has spent more than 25 years building and operating automotive inventory, media, feed-processing, and distribution infrastructure. Much of that technology was originally developed to support our own products and the lot-service companies and dealership providers that use them.
That same infrastructure can also support automotive technology companies that need reliable backend processing without building every part of the stack themselves. Depending on the project, we can help receive and normalize vehicle inventory, store and process vehicle data and media, generate outbound feeds, distribute records to downstream destinations, and provide dealer-facing or private-label access where needed.
These services are available to third-party automotive companies that need vehicle data hosting, aggregation, feed processing, media handling, or distribution infrastructure behind their own products and client relationships.
Typical use cases include dealership website providers, classified platforms, automotive marketing companies, inventory service providers, and smaller software companies that need backend support for FTP or SFTP inventory feeds, vehicle data processing, image and media handling, outbound syndication, scheduled automation, or dealer-facing inventory tools.
Our automotive processing systems are built around long-running, high-volume inventory and media workflows rather than short-lived transactional jobs. That gives us flexibility in how data is received, processed, stored, transformed, and distributed for each client. Depending on the project, we can support FTP or SFTP feeds, scheduled processing, database-backed workflows, media storage, custom exports, and other integration requirements.
Our development work is handled in-house in Florida. That means technical requirements, feed specifications, mapping rules, processing changes, and troubleshooting can be discussed directly with the people responsible for the implementation rather than being passed through layers of outsourced support.
When a project requires dealers to access inventory or account tools directly, private-label branding may be available, including a branded subdomain, logo, and color scheme. Depending on the project and volume, branded FTP, email, or other supporting services may also be available.
Automotive feeds rarely arrive in exactly the same format or require exactly the same output. We can develop project-specific processing, field mapping, validation, transformation, scheduling, and delivery workflows, including secure JSON, XML, CSV, delimited text, FTP, SFTP, and other practical integration methods.
These projects are rarely one-size-fits-all. Some companies need a single inbound feed transformed and redistributed. Others need storage, media handling, dealer access, multiple downstream feeds, or a larger private-label workflow. Contact us with the systems, formats, volumes, and destinations involved, and we can determine whether WalkTheLot is a good fit.
We can also support agencies and automotive marketing providers that need dealership inventory transformed into platform-specific data feeds for advertising, catalog, or merchant systems. Depending on the destination, feeds can be generated from dealer inventory in WebLot and delivered using the format and transport method required by the receiving platform.
