Capture vehicles from the lot, not from your desk.

Use a phone-friendly workflow to decode VINs, capture vehicle photos, follow a walk-around process, and help get inventory ready faster.

The challenge

The vehicle is on the lot. The data entry is somewhere else.

Photos pile up on personal phones, VINs get scribbled on paper and typed in later, and key angles get missed - so vehicles sit unadvertised for days. Every trip between the lot and the desk is time the vehicle is not online.

How LotRanger helps

Stand beside the vehicle and get it sale-ready

The phone app makes it easier for staff to stand beside the vehicle, capture the VIN, take the right photos with a guided walk-around process, and push the vehicle toward being ready for sale. Captured data and photos flow straight into LotRanger inventory.

Common questions

Mobile capture questions

Yes. Capture the VIN at the vehicle and it decodes into vehicle details that flow into LotRanger inventory.

A guided process that steps staff through standard exterior and interior photo angles, so listings end up complete and consistent with fewer missing photos.

No. Photos upload directly into LotRanger inventory, so they stay with the vehicle record instead of scattered across devices.

Anyone on the lot - sales staff, lot attendants, or managers - who needs to get a vehicle captured and moving toward sale-ready.
