LotVision is a complete, integrated lot management platform. Using in-vehicle sensors, network connectivity, and monitoring application, it continuously gathers data on each vehicle’s location and, using onboard diagnostics (OBD), the status of key systems in the vehicle.

The technology is designed and built for automotive businesses operating across multiple sites, or even groups with multiple dealerships. 

On the most basic level, this allows staff, 3rd parties and customers to find vehicles faster. Not only is this good for sales people and customers, it can also accelerate the repair process and increase staff productivity.

Using features such as vehicle location tracking, lot mapping, and health metrics, LotVision helps businesses collect data on the operational performance of each site, their teams, and functions within sites giving invaluable insight into lot performance and helps identify opportunities for improvement.

Through its support of a range of low-power network technologies, the platform makes it possible to economically track vehicle locations across the entire company and off-site. And integration with industry leading inventory management systems ensures fast, accurate reconciliation across the system.

Using OBD data, lot staff can find vehicles with low battery levels or other vehicle-condition issues. This helps to ensure that every vehicle is in top condition, and ready-to-roll, when salespeople need it or the customer wants to drive it away.
