Automotive vehicle data merchandising, syndication distribution software

One Connected Platform for Lot-Service Operations

Built for independent lot-service companies and dealerships managing vehicle merchandising across one rooftop or many.

WebLot Centralized Dealership Setup

Configure each rooftop’s inventory source, users, services, pricing, Dealer Notes, print designs, publishing settings, and invoicing options in one place.

MobileLot On-Lot Vehicle Work

Import the latest dealer inventory, identify vehicles needing work, locate or create records, and complete photography, printing, media, and vehicle updates on the lot.

Dealer-Specific Rooftop Workflows

Each rooftop’s instructions, service choices, pricing, window sticker designs, FTC Buyers Guides, and publishing requirements follow the employee into MobileLot.

Complete, Publish, and Invoice

Record services as each vehicle is completed, publish finished vehicles individually or in batches, and create or print the dealership invoice from MobileLot.

How WalkTheLot Connects the Office and the Lot

Configure each dealership in WebLot, carry that workflow onto the lot with MobileLot, and keep completed work connected to the correct rooftop and vehicle.

1. Prepare Each Dealership Rooftop

In WebLot, administrators configure each dealership’s inventory source, employee access, services, pricing, Dealer Notes, window sticker and FTC Buyers Guide designs, and publishing requirements before work begins on the lot.

2. Import or Create Inventory

Field staff can import the latest inventory supplied by an upstream provider, identify vehicles needing work, locate them by VIN or stock number, or scan a VIN and create a new vehicle record when WalkTheLot is the primary source.

3. Complete Work at the Vehicle

Use MobileLot to capture vehicle photography, video, exterior or interior 360s, update vehicle information, print dealer window stickers and FTC Buyers Guides, review Dealer Notes, and record the services performed.

4. Publish, Distribute, and Invoice

After completing the work, field staff can publish vehicles to WebLot individually or in batches. Configured feeds then deliver vehicle data and media automatically, while invoices can be created or printed in MobileLot or managed in WebLot.

WalkTheLot Supports Both Inventory Models

Not every client creates vehicle inventory the same way.

When Inventory Comes From an Upstream Provider

Dealer inventory can arrive in WalkTheLot from a provider such as vAuto, HomeNet, or another configured source. Field staff complete the required photography, printing, video, 360, or merchandising work, and WalkTheLot can return the completed vehicle media upstream while that provider continues downstream distribution.

When WalkTheLot Is the Primary Inventory Source

Staff can scan the VIN in MobileLot, decode and confirm vehicle information, create the inventory record, complete the dealership’s merchandising work, and publish the finished vehicle to WebLot. Configured outbound feeds can then deliver the vehicle data and media automatically to dealer website and classified destinations.

BUILT AROUND REAL LOT-SERVICE OPERATIONS

Manage Each Dealership Without Rebuilding the Workflow Every Time

WalkTheLot has been refined for more than 25 years around the way independent lot-service companies actually work. Each dealership may have different inventory sources, services, pricing, window sticker designs, FTC Buyers Guides, publishing requirements, branding, and on-site instructions.

WebLot provides centralized control over those dealership-specific settings. MobileLot carries the correct workflow to employees working at the rooftop and standing beside the vehicle.

WebLot: Centralized Administrative Control

WebLot is the administrative center of the operation. It allows owners and administrators to manage dealer rooftops, vehicle inventory, incoming and outgoing feeds, employee access, services, pricing, print designs, publishing settings, and invoicing review from one account.

Administrators can configure how each dealership is serviced while maintaining a consistent company-wide process. Employees working at the dealership see the information needed to do their work without requiring access to billing, ownership, or other administrative controls.

MobileLot: Dealership Work on the Lot

MobileLot gives employees working on the lot the dealership-specific tools they need. They can import the latest inventory, locate or create vehicles, capture vehicle photography, video, exterior and interior 360s, print dealer window stickers and FTC Buyers Guides, update inventory, and publish completed work.

The active rooftop determines which instructions, services, pricing, print designs, and operational choices are available, helping employees follow the correct process even when covering an unfamiliar dealership.

Employee Access and Rooftop Instructions

Individual employee accounts make it easier to add staff, restrict administrative access, remove departing employees, and understand who completed work for a dealership or vehicle.

Dealer Notes can preserve rooftop-specific information such as check-in procedures, manager instructions, key machine codes, invoice requirements, weak Wi-Fi warnings, printer locations, and other details employees otherwise learn through experience or word of mouth.

Record the Billable Service at the Vehicle

Administrators can define dealership-specific service codes, descriptions, and pricing for work such as photo sets, dealer window stickers, FTC Buyers Guides, video, exterior 360s, label reprints, prebook photos, and monthly administrative services.

Field staff record completed services while standing at the vehicle. The work can then be invoiced or printed in MobileLot, or reviewed, adjusted, exported, and managed in WebLot without reconstructing the month from memory.

Work Recorded on the Lot. Managed Your Way.

Whether WalkTheLot receives inventory from an upstream provider or serves as the primary inventory source, the same connected platform can support vehicle merchandising from rooftop setup through on-lot completion, publishing, and invoicing.

Dealerships can also use WebLot and MobileLot to bring selected vehicle photography, dealer window sticker printing, FTC Buyers Guide printing, and merchandising work in-house.

MobileLot: Lot-Service Operations at the Dealership

MobileLot is the on-lot operations application used by lot-service companies and dealership staff at the rooftop and beside the vehicle. Employees can import the latest dealer inventory, locate vehicles by VIN or stock number, scan a VIN to create a vehicle when needed, and follow the services, print designs, pricing, and instructions configured for that dealership in WebLot.

From the active vehicle, users can capture vehicle photography, import and arrange photos from the device camera, record live walk-around video, capture exterior and interior 360s, print dealer window stickers and FTC Buyers Guides, update inventory information, and record completed services for review and invoicing in MobileLot or WebLot.

MobileLot is available for Android and iOS and works as the on-lot side of the connected WalkTheLot workflow. Explore the MobileLot product page for screenshots, capabilities, and setup details.

 

Dealer Window Stickers with Vehicle-Specific QR Codes

Design dealership-specific window stickers in WebLot and make the approved designs available to field staff in MobileLot. Each design can reflect the dealership’s branding, pricing approach, vehicle information requirements, and other dealership-specific content.

Optional vehicle-specific QR codes can send shoppers directly to the matching vehicle detail page on the dealer’s website, where they can view current pricing, equipment, photos, and detailed vehicle information.

Window stickers can also include VIN or stock-number barcodes, Carfax® Highlights when available, and other dealership-specific content. FTC Buyers Guide designs can also be configured in WebLot and printed through the same MobileLot workflow.

QR-code behavior depends on the dealer website provider’s ability to open the correct vehicle detail page using a VIN or stock-number link. Contact us to confirm compatibility with a specific provider.

Vehicle Photography and Merchandising Media

Capture the vehicle content each dealership requires through the same connected WebLot and MobileLot workflow.

Vehicle Photography

Capture photos directly in MobileLot, import images from the device camera, or use WebLot Photo Match with a DSLR or dedicated digital camera.

Live Walk-Around Video

Record real vehicle video, remove original audio, add a replacement soundtrack, and apply optional dealer-branded intros or overlays.

Exterior and Interior 360s

Capture exterior spins and interior 360 images for dealerships that want more interactive vehicle merchandising.

Backgrounds and Branding

Support photo background removal or replacement, dealer-branded overlays, and other dealership-specific presentation requirements.

Completed vehicle photos can be returned to an upstream inventory provider or distributed to configured dealer website and classified destinations. Video and 360 media can be displayed on supported dealer websites through the WalkTheLot media widget.

Photo, video, 360, feed, and widget support varies by provider and destination. Contact us to confirm compatibility with a specific dealer website or inventory system.
