We have just pushed our latest platform update and it is a big one. Three new features that our dealer customers have been asking for, all live today.
Here is what is new and why it matters.
Manual posting
Auto Lot Impact has always been about automation, with vehicles posting themselves and your social media running in the background without anyone needing to think about it. That remains the core of what we do.
But sometimes you want to take the wheel. Maybe you have a vehicle you want to push this week, or a customer expressed interest in something specific and you want it on your Facebook page today. Until now, the only way to make that happen was to wait for the automation to pick it up.
Not any more. Manual posting lets you select any vehicle in your inventory and add it directly to the posting queue with a single action. The platform still handles the content generation, the image creation, and the posting itself and you are just choosing which vehicle goes next, giving you full automation when you want it and manual control when you need it.
Slot filler
Your posting schedule has a set number of slots each day. When every slot has a vehicle assigned to it, the schedule runs smoothly, but when new arrivals slow down or your queue runs low, those slots can go empty and an empty slot is a missed opportunity to put inventory in front of potential buyers.
Slot filler solves this automatically. When a slot would otherwise go unused, the platform identifies vehicles already in your inventory that have not been posted recently and fills the gap without any manual intervention, keeping your posting schedule consistent regardless of how your inventory is moving.
Live price change updates
When a vehicle's price drops, that is news worth sharing. Previously, a price change on a vehicle that had already been posted had no effect on the existing post and the old price would sit there until the post was eventually removed.
Now, when a price changes in your inventory feed, Auto Lot Impact automatically updates the existing post to reflect the new price. The update is clear and immediate, so anyone who saw the original post and comes back to check will see the current price rather than an outdated one, which means your social media stays accurate without anyone needing to manually edit posts.
Why these three features together
Each of these updates addresses a different part of the same challenge: keeping your dealership's social media presence active, accurate, and effective without adding work for your team. The automation handles the routine posting, manual posting gives you control when you want it, slot filler keeps the schedule full when inventory is quiet, and price change updates ensure your content is always accurate. Together they make the platform significantly more powerful than it was last week.
All three features are live now and available to all active subscribers at no extra charge. As with everything we build, these are included in your existing subscription because transparent pricing is a core value we take seriously. If you would like any of these features configured for your dealership, get in touch with our support team and we will get you set up.
