WalkTheLot supports automotive inventory syndication in two common dealer workflows. When vehicle inventory comes from an upstream Tier 1 provider, technicians can work from those existing records and WalkTheLot can automatically return newly captured photos or media to that source. When WalkTheLot is the dealer's primary inventory source, vehicle data and media can be distributed to configured destinations such as the dealer website provider and other inventory or classified channels.
That distinction matters to lot-service companies because different dealer accounts may use different inventory architectures. The field team should be able to service both without manually uploading the same vehicle into every downstream system.
The technician handles the inventory and merchandising work. The configured feed workflow handles where the completed data and media go next.

WalkTheLot has been refined through more than 25 years of working directly with lot-service companies while also supporting dealerships that manage merchandising in-house. These are some of the practical reasons teams use it for inventory, photography, media, window stickers, Buyers Guides, publishing, and recurring rooftop work.
Merchandising software works best when it supports the way dealerships and lot-service providers actually operate, instead of adding unnecessary process or extra steps.
Automotive inventory syndication depends on the inventory and media source being handled well. WalkTheLot can receive inventory from an upstream Tier 1 provider and return newly captured photos or media, or serve as the primary inventory source and distribute vehicle data and media to configured downstream destinations.
Rather than isolating syndication from the rest of the merchandising process, WalkTheLot helps keep those related operational steps connected.
Companies supporting many rooftops often need stronger operational control over the workflow feeding syndication. WalkTheLot is designed with that type of use case in mind.
WalkTheLot combines MobileLot field execution with WebLot administration, current dealer inventory, photography and media workflows, dealer window sticker and FTC Buyers Guide printing, publishing, and distribution so dealerships and lot-service companies can manage merchandising without unnecessary complexity.
WalkTheLot can receive dealer inventory from an upstream Tier 1 source and return newly captured photos or media after the field work is completed. When WalkTheLot is the primary source, it can distribute vehicle data and media to the dealer's configured destinations.
MobileLot lets field teams work from current inventory, capture vehicles when needed, take photos and other media, print dealer window stickers or Buyers Guides, review Dealer Notes, and publish completed work from the lot or later in batches.
WebLot provides a central place to manage dealer accounts, users, inventory connections, window sticker and Buyers Guide designs, media workflows, and the feed configuration behind recurring dealer service.
