Lot-to-Website Real-Time Inventory Sync
A done-for-you automotive automation built for the Inventory Manager, connecting Zapier and Make.com so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
The instant a vehicle is added to or sold off the lot in the DMS, the website's inventory listings automatically update in real time, so a customer never drives in for a vehicle that sold two days ago or gets frustrated finding a "new" listing that's actually been on the lot for a month.
The inventory manager no longer has to manually sync listings across the website and third-party marketplaces like Cars.com or Autotrader, since every platform pulls from the same live feed, and lost showroom visits caused by stale online listings drop close to zero.
- DMS (e.g., CDK Global or RouteOne)
- Zapier or Make.com
- vAuto or Black Book (market valuation data)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Without automation, an inventory manager has to notice problems after they've already happened, then scramble to fix them manually one at a time. None of it is difficult, it's just slow, repetitive, and easy to fall behind on.
With this automation
- Low-stock and reorder alerts before you run out
- Vendor and subcontractor confirmations that chase themselves
- Preventive maintenance scheduled by usage or date
- Work orders and project milestones that update stakeholders
