Lot photo workflow

Photograph the whole lot in one walk

Whoever shoots the lot — a porter, a salesperson, a photo vendor — needs to know which cars still need photos, find each one fast and shoot without waiting on uploads. Inventory Photos is built around that walk, on the phone they already carry.

  • “Needs photos” list from your live inventory
  • Find any car by VIN, stock number or model
  • Next vehicle without leaving the camera flow

Start with what’s missing

The Photos page lists every vehicle in your inventory export with its photo count, and one tap narrows it to the ones that need photos. A progress bar shows how much of the lot is covered, and “Start with vehicles needing photos” opens the first one.

Find the car in front of you

Search by VIN, stock number, make or model. Type the last few characters of a VIN from the windshield and the vehicle comes up; press Enter and its photos open. A car that isn’t in the export yet can be shot by its VIN anyway.

Shoot, move on, repeat

Nothing on the lot waits on the network.

  • The camera takes a photo on every tap, with a strip of the shots so far
  • Each photo resizes on the phone and uploads in the background, three at a time
  • Next vehicle moves down the list while earlier uploads finish
  • A failed upload stays on screen with a retry button instead of disappearing

Tidy up later, from anywhere

Back at a desk, drag photos into order, choose the cover and delete the misfires. Every change saves immediately and reaches your feeds on their next pull.
