Inventory

More than a stock list — it is the central record behind your dealership’s vehicle operations.

CARF Inventory gives your team one place to manage the complete lifecycle of every vehicle. Add and update vehicle information, manage pricing and costs, upload invoices and documents, capture and enhance photos, prepare listings, create promotions, connect advertising channels, review vehicle history, manage appraisals, and carry the same information forward into the deal and sale.

Your inventory record can support:

• Retail and wholesale inventory management.
• Vehicle specifications, equipment, mileage, pricing, availability, and status.
• Cost records, invoices, and supporting vehicle documents.
• Mobile photo capture and inventory photography workflows.
• AI-assisted photo presentation and image metadata.
• AI-assisted vehicle descriptions and merchandising content.
• Scheduled price changes and inventory promotions.
• Distribution to supported marketplace and advertising feeds.
• Website inventory listings.
• CARFAX and vehicle-history workflows.
• Trade-in and appraisal workflows.
• Service-history information where available.
• Retail and wholesale Bills of Sale.
• Garage Register and inventory documentation.
• YouTube and vehicle walk-around content.
• Deal, sales, and work-order workflows connected back to the original stock record.

Manage the vehicle once. Let the rest of the dealership work from the same information.

Instead of maintaining separate inventory records across your website, advertising platforms, sales tools, paperwork, photos, and dealership systems, CARF gives every enabled workflow access to the same central vehicle record.

• Reduce repetitive data entry across dealership systems.
• Keep pricing and inventory status consistent across connected channels.
• Give sales, management, finance, service, and marketing teams access to the same vehicle information.
• Manage large inventory updates and promotions from one place.
• Keep vehicle photos, documents, costs, history, and merchandising connected to the unit.
• Move information directly into deals, Bills of Sale, work orders, and other dealership workflows.
• Maintain a clear history of the vehicle from acquisition through sale.
• Use AI tools to reduce the time required to prepare and merchandise inventory.
• Connect additional services without rebuilding your inventory process.

Inventory is built into CARF Dealer Intelligence.

There is no separate inventory system to install or maintain. Add your vehicles directly to CARF or migrate your existing inventory, then activate the connections and workflows your dealership wants to use.

Additional services such as advertising feeds, vehicle history, AI photography, and other Dealer Connections can be enabled from within CARF as needed.

One vehicle record powers the rest of the dealership.

Inventory sits at the centre of CARF Dealer Intelligence. The same stock record can be used by your website, marketplace feeds, AI tools, photography, promotions, appraisals, deals, Bills of Sale, service workflows, work orders, and connected dealership services.

When something changes — price, photos, availability, vehicle details, or status — the rest of the CARF ecosystem can work from that updated information.
