Whatever shape your inventory arrives in, it leaves in whatever shape each destination demands. You configure it once.
Fetch over HTTP, FTP/SFTP or plain upload. Deliver by one-shot download, a permanent hosted feed URL the platform polls itself, or a scheduled FTP/SFTP push — hourly, every six hours, daily or weekly.
Paste a seventeen-character VIN and iMarket decodes it against the NHTSA database — year, make, model, trim, engine, body, fuel — then uses AI to fill in whatever the decode left blank. Responses are cached for thirty days, so the same VIN never costs you twice.
Point a schedule at an FTP drop or a URL and iMarket fetches it on its own. Every run is logged with totals for inserted, updated, skipped and errored rows — so a broken feed is obvious, not silent.
Feed in a shape nobody recognises? Map the columns yourself once and save the mapping to the schedule. Every future pull uses it automatically.
A schedule can mark vehicles that vanish from the next pull as sold or archived. Your online inventory tracks your real inventory without anyone reconciling a spreadsheet.
Every vehicle carries the source and reference it arrived with. A botched import can be undone in one action rather than deleted row by row.
Each export can live at a permanent tokenised URL that the destination polls on its own schedule. Nothing to upload, nothing to remember — and the token can be rotated whenever you want.
For destinations that want a file delivered, iMarket pushes over FTP or SFTP on a schedule you pick, with the credentials encrypted at rest.
Every form submission from your storefront lands in one pipeline — new, contacted, won, lost, spam — with the page it came from attached. Reply from inside the app. And if nobody gets to it, the sequence goes out anyway.
Platform operator, dealership manager and staff user. Managers invite and manage their own team; staff get the day-to-day tools without the account controls.
Your AI key, your market-data key, your FTP credentials and your social tokens are all encrypted in the database — not sitting in a config file.
Every dealer-scoped query is filtered at the repository level, and a query that somehow arrives without a dealer throws rather than returning everything. Photos are streamed from outside the webroot, so guessing a URL gets you nowhere.
Every elevated action is written to an audit trail, including any time a platform operator steps into a dealership account to help.
Almost certainly. There are twelve built-in formats covering vAuto, HomeNet, AutoTrader Canada, Kijiji, CarGurus and ADF, plus generic CSV, JSON and XML. Anything else goes through the mapping wizard — if you can export it, we can read it.
No hard cap. It's been tested into the thousands. Every per-dealer index leads with the dealer, so the inventory pages stay fast whether you run twenty units or two hundred.
No. The WordPress companion plugin drops your inventory into the site you already have with a shortcode. The hosted storefront is there if you want it, not because you have to use it.
Send us the feed you already have and we'll show you your own lot running inside iMarket — decoded, merchandised and ready to publish.
