Upload Data to Multiple Sources

Save time and money by eliminating the need to enter your inventory into more than one inventory system. Now you can spend more time enhancing the quality of your inventory merchandising rather than entering the same inventory over and over again. The electronic data and photos from your ASL handheld can be automatically sent to many sources of advertising and marketing for your dealership.

For several years ASL has developed partnerships and alliances with a variety of companies throughout North America within the automotive industry. These companies include automotive manufacturers, automotive dealership associations, third party marketplace websites, automotive advertising portals, and automotive finance portals.

Many dealerships have become dissatisfied with third-party inventory updating services that charge a fee for every vehicle's data transfer any time that vehicle is updated on each portal or website.

If you consider that you could save over $11,000.00 per year based on 50 cars per month uploaded to just three portals then we're sure you'll agree that the benefits are great.

Other Hardware Options

Our focus is to deliver a proven solution that delivers consistent quality. While our competitors may advertise their solutions run on over 140 different devices, as professionals we know that they cannot effectively support that many versions and by running a software application this way, they introduce it's limitations. We want our customers to know we are dedicated to offer the MOST advanced solution. The perception of a shelf product that runs "sort-of well" on hundreds of devices, dilutes the value of the software and becomes just that, a shelf product. We are more than a mass production company, we build industry specific solutions that work.

Here are some additional devices that will effectively run the ASL Mobile Inventory Manager software.
