How a day on the lot works
Five moments in one day, and what the app is doing at each of them. A sample day: the times are illustrative, not a schedule the app keeps.
A sample day, told in order. The times are illustrative: nothing in the app runs on a clock except the nightly listings comparison in step five.
A lot tech walks a row
They pick the location they are standing in, then scan each vehicle as they pass it. Every scan either confirms the vehicle was already where the record says, or moves it there, and a sound says which. Nobody types a stock number and nobody carries a clipboard.
The counter on screen is the walk, not the lot: it counts the successful scans in this pass. A repeat scan of the same vehicle within a few seconds does not count twice; a later re-scan counts.
A position is recorded only because somebody scanned that unit with the app open. There is no background tracking and nothing follows a vehicle between scans.
How Scan to locate worksA vehicle arrives and somebody scans it
A vehicle that has been on order all month is dropped in the yard. The same walk, the same camera: scan the window-sticker VIN and it moves into inventory on the spot, stamped with that day's date in your timezone, the location it was scanned into, and who scanned it.
It sounds different from an ordinary move, so the person holding the phone knows something larger just happened. Until somebody does this, a vehicle can be parked on your lot and still read as on order everywhere else: not aging, not due for an audit, and invisible to a salesperson searching inventory.
Only a vehicle whose VIN is already on file can be grounded this way, because the barcode is what identifies it. A manager can correct the arrival date afterward if a unit sat unnoticed for a while.
Scan to ground, on the features pageA customer asks about a specific vehicle
The sales rep opens the vehicle and taps Show on map. The map flies to it and rings it, with a circle showing how precise that reading was.
The circle is the point. It places a row, not a single vehicle, because vehicles stand 10 to 20 feet apart and no phone fix is that sharp. What the rep gets is "second row, north end, last seen this morning", which is what somebody walking out to look at it actually needs.
The position is where the vehicle was when it was last scanned or audited. There is no background tracking, and the map says how long ago the reading was taken.
How the lot map worksThe manager checks what was actually walked
Geo Coverage answers three questions: how much of the lot has a recorded position, how fresh those readings are, and how precise they were. A high share of stale or coarse readings is a different problem from a low share of good ones, so they are never averaged into one number.
Then the part that turns a number into tomorrow morning: the list of vehicles nobody has scanned yet, grouped by location so it reads as a walk rather than a spreadsheet.
Coverage measures scans and audits, because those are the only things that record a position. A vehicle nobody has walked past has none, and it is on this list rather than missing from the count.
Geo Coverage, on the features pageYour listings are checked against your lot
While nobody is there, the vehicles listed for sale online are compared against the vehicles actually in your inventory. Three things come back: units on your lot missing from the listings, listings for VINs you do not have, and listings for units that have already sold.
The same pass reads the specifications and the figures. A unit advertised as one trim that is a higher trim on its record, or advertised at a value that disagrees with the chassis and upfit you built, is a row waiting in the morning rather than a surprise in front of a customer.
