Inventory software FAQ
Common questions about managing inventory on AutoDealer.io.
Is this vehicle inventory management software for car dealers?
Yes. AutoDealer.io is vehicle inventory management software built for car dealers — automotive inventory software that decodes the VIN, writes the listing, tracks costs and photos through a seven-stage lifecycle, and publishes to your website and the marketplaces. It replaces the spreadsheets most lots run their car inventory on.
Does it fill in vehicle details from the VIN?
Yes. Paste a VIN and specs are auto-decoded via the NHTSA vPIC database (in batches of up to 50 at a time). AI then writes the listing description, so a car goes from VIN to a complete listing in seconds.
Can I import an auction run-list or a spreadsheet?
Yes. Import from CSV, XLSX, or a pasted list of VINs. Column headers are auto-mapped (with collision resolution), each row is reviewed before commit, and duplicates are caught by VIN and stock number.
How do AI vehicle descriptions work?
One click generates a description in your choice of tone — professional, casual, or enthusiastic — and you can add dealer guidance/highlights. Edit anything before it publishes.
Can I track reconditioning and acquisition costs?
Yes. Track the acquisition cost plus post-acquisition cost categories (recon, parts, labor, detail, transport, fees, inspection, and other), each with a vendor, invoice number, and incurred/paid dates.
Where can I post my inventory?
Your inventory publishes to your own AutoDealer.io website and can syndicate to channels including Google Vehicle Ads, Facebook Vehicle Ads (Automotive Inventory Ads), CarGurus, and generic CSV feeds. Facebook catalog items are added and removed automatically as a vehicle’s eligibility changes.
