DeskLot is a professional grade used-car window sticker printing and vehicle data publishing software program. It is not only used by many new and used car dealerships to print their own preowned vehicle window stickers and buyers guides, but also by many window sticker printing companies who use it to run their own used-car window sticker printing businesses.
As we like to say, "DeskLot is the most powerful and flexible window sticker printing software on the market". We're so sure of it that we even allow you to use it free of charge for a full 30 days so that you can put it to work for you and see for yourself long before you decide to purchase.
DeskLot has been on the market and being used in the real-world since October 2002 so it is thoroughly field tested and proven. No wonder so many window sticker printing companies rely on DeskLot to insure that they can provide their dealer clients with the best, most flexible and fullest suite of services.
DeskLot runs on your personal computer, notebook computer or tablet computer and works with your standard or portable printer and digital camera so there is no proprietary equipment or special gadgets to buy.
Unlike other window sticker printing software, DeskLot can print on virtually any window sticker and buyers guide forms you like in about any way you like. There are no "per-sticker" fee's or limits other than the price of the stickers. You can design your sales stickers and buyers guides just the way you want them. Print on blank paper, blank forms, pre-printed forms, custom forms, buyers guides, take-one flyers, you name it. You're not "locked in" to purchase forms from us or anyone else. Use the forms that work best for you. DeskLot also comes with over 200 pre-designed used-car window sticker and buyers guide templates in the most popular designs to help you get up and going fast.
In addition to DeskLot's vehicle window sticker printing capabilities, it also has the functionality to publish your vehicle inventory data to most any automobile inventory service available. Our "Data Transfer" functionality does not "hard-code" a few pre-defined export configurations, therefore, you are not limited to just a few services you can export to. The wide array of available export settings give you extreme flexibility to configure DeskLot to send inventory data to most anyone. Send inventory data via FTP, email, or export to a local export file. Have a service you need to send to? Just ask them for their Data Feed Specifications Sheet which gives you all of the information on what to send, how to send it and where to send it to. Then use that information to create an export configuration in DeskLot.
Need some vehicle inventory for your website? DeskLot can also export inventory data to your site via either standard HTML or ASP/MS-Access. For more advanced and robust needs, you can used DeskLot to export inventory data to an additionally priced WalkTheLot.com® account.

In addition to DeskLot's export functionality, DeskLot can also import from many MS-Access databases, a WalkTheLot.com account, or a delimited text file such as you might export from your DMS or another program.
When it comes to entering vehicle data and options, flexibility is once again key. As mentioned before, you can import the data from a DMS export in many cases, you can manually enter the data (which is easier than normal thanks to convenient drop-down lists and check boxes), or you can use one of two additionally priced VIN decoders that are included in DeskLot. The VinPower® VIN decoder is a basic VIN decoder that works from a local database (located on your computer) that returns the information that the manufacturer included in their VIN. Typically, this is Year, Make, Model, Engine, Transmission and a few options. The VinLink® VIN exploder is an advanced VIN exploder that retrieves its information over the Internet and returns a great deal of information about the vehicle... it will even let you select specific trim levels, packages offered by the manufacturer and generally MPG data.
As far as pricing is concerned, DeskLot is priced appropriately, not inflated. With pricing starting at just $299/yr. (which is less than $25/mo.), it is affordable enough that even small independent dealers can afford to use a professional product to present their vehicles professionally and transfer vehicle data to other services like the larger dealerships do. |
