Inventory Bridges
Share inventory visibility across connected dealer accounts
Automo Soft's inventory bridge feature lets two connected dealer accounts share inventory visibility with each other. Useful for dealer groups, multi-lot operations, and wholesale network partners. Available on Hypersonic and Ultrasonic plans.
Key capabilities
Two-way inventory sharing
Connected dealer accounts can see each other's available inventory. A sales person at location A can quickly check if location B has the vehicle a buyer is looking for.
Network-based inventory
For dealer networks and buying groups, bridges allow members to access a combined inventory pool — expanding what each dealer can offer to their customers.
Permission-controlled access
Bridges are only established by mutual consent. Both accounts must agree to the connection. You control exactly who can see your inventory.
Selective sharing
Choose which inventory is visible through the bridge. You can make your entire lot visible or only specific vehicles — giving you full control over what partners see.
Multi-location and group use
Bridges are especially powerful for dealer groups running multiple lots under different accounts, and for wholesale partners who regularly trade vehicles with each other.
Expand what you can offer without expanding your lot
A buyer walks into your lot looking for a specific vehicle you do not have. Without a bridge to a partner dealer, you lose that sale. With a bridge, you can quickly check your partner's inventory, facilitate the sale, and arrange the vehicle transfer.
Automo Soft's inventory bridge feature was designed for exactly these situations. Connected dealer accounts see each other's available inventory directly in their dashboards. There is no spreadsheet sharing, no phone calls to check availability — just a real-time view of what your partner has in stock.
For multi-location dealer groups, bridges solve the problem of inventory visibility across locations. A manager at the main lot can see what is sitting at the satellite location without logging into a separate account.
Who is this for?
For dealer groups, multi-location operators, and dealers with wholesale or trade partnerships who want real-time visibility into partner inventory.
Frequently asked questions
Which plan includes inventory bridges?
Inventory bridges are available on Hypersonic ($59/mo) and Ultrasonic ($99/mo) plans.
How do I set up a bridge with another dealer?
From your dashboard, send a bridge invitation to the other dealer's account by email. When they accept, the bridge is established and both accounts can see each other's shared inventory.
Can I limit what inventory a bridge partner sees?
Yes. You can choose which vehicles are visible through the bridge. By default, only inventory you explicitly mark as bridge-visible is shared with partners.
