LotFlow is a mobile-first reconditioning and lot-management app for automotive dealerships. Move every vehicle through your recon pipeline, coordinate vendors, manage work orders, and keep an eye on margins — all from your phone. RECONDITIONING PIPELINE Track each vehicle across your stages — Shop, Interior & Body, Detail, Quality Control, Pictures, and On Lot — with live counts and days-in-stage timers. VEHICLE MANAGEMENT Add vehicles manually or scan the VIN barcode. Capture year, make, model, trim, mileage, stock number, costs, and asking price, with a full financial breakdown and projected margin. VENDOR COORDINATION Assign vendors to stages, create and approve work orders, and message back and forth with a threaded comment feed on each work order. WORK ORDERS Submit, review, approve, or reject work orders with approved amounts and notes — and see how each approval affects the vehicle's net margin before you commit. MULTI-LOCATION & ROLES Manage multiple dealership locations with role-based access for owners, admins, and vendors. Each user sees exactly what they need. PHOTOS Capture and manage vehicle photos right from your phone. From intake to sale, LotFlow keeps your reconditioning organized, your vendors accountable, and your margins visible.
