Workflow guide

VehiclePhoto for used-car managers

The day begins with changing inventory, incomplete listings, uneven presentation, and a queue that must become publishable before attention moves elsewhere. VehiclePhoto turns that scattered intake into one visible production flow: collect the current images, apply a consistent look, review exceptions, finish the listing package, and export without losing the originals.

Real product surfaces

Today's pressure

  • New arrivals need complete image sets without delaying the listing.
  • Older inventory needs the same visual standard as today’s intake.
  • Missing, failed, or questionable photos need a clear review state.
  • Price, branding, copy, and final delivery must stay coordinated.
  • A full-day backlog needs progress that can be checked without opening every image.

What changes

Batch

Select whole listings, choose a processing recipe and brand template, review the credit estimate, then monitor progress per photo. The console expands each chosen listing to all of its photos rather than asking for manual image-by-image selection.

Listing status

The listing and each photo carry a status: editing, needs review, ready, or published. Status changes require approval permission, so visual work and the authority to move a listing forward can remain separate.

Automatic listing copy

A VIN-backed copy workspace builds listing text from decoded specifications and keeps uncertain claims out of the result. The description can be reviewed beside the same vehicle rather than assembled in a disconnected document.

Export & deliver

Approved work can leave as individual output or a bulk ZIP across selected channel profiles. The archive includes a manifest that records included files and any dropped item instead of silently hiding an export problem.

First hour

  1. 01

    Open intake

    Upload one representative vehicle with its normal exterior, interior, and detail shots. Keep imperfect lighting and a difficult background in the listing so the trial reflects real work rather than a staged sample.

  2. 02

    Run one batch

    Open Batch, select the listing, choose the intended look, inspect the estimate, and start processing. Watch the per-photo rows so successful work and an exception remain distinguishable throughout the run.

  3. 03

    Review the listing

    Check framing, color, background, privacy treatment, and copy. Move the listing status only when every required angle is present and condition is still represented honestly; leave an exception in needs review when it needs attention.

  4. 04

    Package the result

    Choose the real destination profiles and build a bulk ZIP. Open the manifest, confirm image count and dimensions, and keep the untouched originals beside the final package for future revision or audit.

Connected responsibilities

The same listing crosses capture, review, brand, delivery, and account controls. Continue with the adjacent workflows that share those handoffs.

Pricing

Start with five watermarked trial credits, then choose published credit pricing from $49 per month or a $39 one-off Listing Pass. One standard listing-ready photo uses one credit; premium outputs can use more, so test a normal full listing before selecting a plan.

FAQ

Questions answered

Can a whole backlog run?

Yes. Batch selects listings and expands them to their photos, shows an estimate before work begins, and reports progress per image. Start with a representative slice so credit use, exceptions, and review ownership are understood before processing a larger backlog.

Who can approve status?

A listing’s status can be changed only with the approval permission. Someone can continue editing without being allowed to move a listing or photo into a later state, which keeps production access separate from release authority.

Does export publish automatically?

No. Direct DMS push and syndication connectors are not live. Export & deliver creates channel-ready files, including bulk ZIP and manifest output, while REST API v1 and webhooks support programmatic handoffs. The destination upload remains an explicit step.
