How DealerVision Dealership Photography Works
From Lot to Live Inventory in Four Simple Steps
DealerVision gives your team a repeatable photography process that makes it easier for any staff member to produce consistent inventory photos and get vehicles online faster.
1. Select the Vehicle
Find the vehicle in your inventory and match your media to the correct VIN or stock number.
2. Capture and Upload
Photograph vehicles anywhere on the lot using the devices your team already has. No expensive cameras, specialized equipment, photo booth, or dedicated studio required.
3. ENHANCE AND BRAND
DealerVision processes your photos according to your dealership’s setup, including options for background replacement, branded environments, and inventory photo overlays.
4. PUBLISH
Finished photos are organized with the correct vehicle and distributed through your existing inventory workflow.
Inventory photos can also be automatically posted to your dealership’s Facebook Page, helping your team put fresh vehicle content in front of more shoppers without repeating the upload process.
Want to create a richer VDP experience? DealerVision can also automatically add video content to your vehicle detail pages.
