Our powerful Data Transfer system helps you to get used car data from one place to the other:
- Import used-car inventory data from delimited text files (a common format supported by most data applications).
- Import preowned vehicle inventory data from Microsoft® Access™ databases.
- Export car 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 new and/or used automobile 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 auto dealership automobile inventory to the Internet as either customizable Standard HTML, to a Microsoft IIS web server with customizable ASP which uses a MS-Access database, 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 vehicle 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.

Although DeskLot is not specifically an inventory publishing program, all in all, DeskLot by design has the functionality and flexibility needed to publish your pre-owned new and used vehicle data to most every major inventory service. We do not however focus on including pre-defined configurations or configuring configurations for automobile 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 just ask them for their 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.

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®.

Additionally, 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 automotive Internet inventory service that DeskLot does not have the functionality to publish auto inventory 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.

What To Ask a Window Sticker Printing Software Company BEFORE They Secure Your Payment Information:

Can you use a fully functioning demo of the product to make sure it is quality and does what you need it to BEFORE they get your payment info?
Can you print on ANY sticker forms you like or do you HAVE to purchase your window sticker forms from them?
Are there are PER-STICKER fee's other than the cost of the stickers themselves?
Do they limit the number of stickers you can print?
Do they fully disclose all possible charges clearly on their web-site or do you have to call and fish for that information?
Can you use their software to export to other Internet inventory services?
Do they charge a one-time price? If so, how can you rest assured that they will have the finances to continue to support and improve their product?
When was the last time they issued a new or updated version? (i.e. are they continually adding to and improving the product)?
Do they fully disclose all pricing on their web-site or do they make you call a sales person to get the price? If so, why?
Do they only offer Internet based printing? Do you think that limits your flexibility and control? How much? $4 or more? That's not THAT much less than the sticker printing company charged to do it FOR you and they provided other valuable vehicle services.
