SmartLot Tracker vs VIN

Real-time insights powered by vehicle and key movements with smartlot's powerful location tracking

VIN PIN helps dealership teams find vehicles and keep their work together. Scan a programmed vehicle NFC tag to record the phone’s GPS position at the car. See its last recorded location on a map, then open the actions available to your staff role. A separate tag on the keys opens the vehicle’s profile without changing the car’s recorded location. Find a stock number in Inventory to view its saved scan location, open the dealer listing, or report low fuel, a battery concern, maintenance or detail needs. Manage inspection, reconditioning, detail, test-drive and deposit status through the shared Tasks board. Administrators and managers can schedule one-time, weekly or monthly inventory audits for porters, sales or both. Scan each car’s vehicle tag with fresh, accurate GPS to confirm it against the audit roster. See progress, missing vehicles and recent audit history. Key lookups and vehicle-profile actions do not count as inventory confirmations. Administrators configure parking areas, overflow locations and partner lots. Scans outside the configured areas are marked off site. Account permissions control who can change boundaries, add vehicles and pair tags. Choose a light, dark or system appearance in Settings. VIN PIN is designed for participating dealerships, with individual staff accounts provided by a dealership administrator. NFC scanning requires a compatible NFC-enabled iPhone and writable NDEF NFC tags. Location access is used for vehicle scans and to center the lot map. Saved locations describe the last vehicle-tag scan, rather than continuous vehicle tracking. Internet access is needed to load map imagery and synchronize the shared workspace.
