Our powerful Data
Transfer system helps you to get vehicle
data from one place to the other:
- Import inventory data from delimited
text files (a common format supported by
most data applications).
- Import inventory data from Microsoft®
Access™ databases.
- Export inventory data to local
delimited text files for importing into other
software packages such as Microsoft® Excel™
or one of thousands of programs that support
importing delimited text files.
- Export inventory data in delimited text
format to other services via FTP or email...
DeskLot can even ZIP the file along with
photo's.
- Publish your inventory to the Internet as
either customizable Standard
HTML, to a
Microsoft IIS web server with customizable
ASP which uses a MS-Access database
(view
an actual clients implementation), or to a
robust, highly functional, customizable and
attractive WalkTheLot.com
Internet inventory account.
The Data Transfer system even allows you to
run a particular configuration at startup, upon
exit, and can either overwrite existing
inventory, merge the data, or append it to
existing inventory. A great time saver for
keeping your imported data or other services up
to date with the latest automobile data.
DeskLot also supports data conversion
on-the-fly when importing data, such as
"PS" to "Power Steering",
"AUTO" to "Automatic
Transmission", etc, for those more complex
imports or exports where the data needs to be shaped to conform to another program or
service.
DeskLot by design has the functionality and
flexibility needed to publish your pre-owned vehicle data
to most every major inventory service. However,
we do not focus on including pre-defined
configurations or configuring configurations for
dealerships. DeskLot is a do-it-yourself
software package with all the functionality to
accommodate most needs, and is priced
accordingly. In most cases, you will have
to contact the service you are exporting to and
simply ask them for their "export specification
sheet" which details how they want to receive
their data and where and how they want you to
sent it. With that information in hand, you can
configure a DeskLot Data Transfer Configuration
to do the export. In the event that you just
don't feel like you can handle configuring your
own export, or simply don't have the time, see
our services
page.
Below are a few of the sample data transfer
configurations included in DeskLot to help get
you started:
- Import from F&I / QuestEZ®
Inventory.
- Export to The
Cobalt Group®.
- Export to WalkTheLot.com®.
- Export to DealerSkins
- Export to AutoShopperOnline.com
- Export to StoneAge.com®
- Export to AutoTrader.com®.
- Import from ADP® comma delimited export
file with sample options and data
conversion.
- A sample configuration for importing data
exported as the
"Desk Lot" configuration in Chrome
Inventory Everywhere® (CIE).
In addition, our online support
knowledge base is often updated with
configuration samples and instructions as they
come up, for example Importing
from ADP® or Importing
from Reynolds & Reynolds®.
Oftentimes we get contacted by
another service to add their configuration to DeskLot. If your installation did not include
that configuration, DeskLot users may
download
and import them for their use. If you are from
another service and would like your service to
be considered for inclusion in DeskLot, download
a trial copy of DeskLot, create your export
configuration, export it, and email it to us for
consideration.
If you run into a major service that DeskLot
does not have the functionality to publish to,
let us know and in most cases we can add any
needed functionality that DeskLot does not
currently possess, normally within a couple of
weeks. Certain restrictions may apply. |
