Sound Familiar?

This is your current workflow.

Every independent dealer runs the same broken process. PocketLot was built to fix each one of these problems — permanently.

The old way
"Text me the photos, I'll price it later."
Photos are captured in-app, attached to the appraisal instantly. No more scattered camera rolls or lost messages.
The old way
"Write it on the whiteboard for now."
Every appraisal is digitally logged, timestamped, and permanently attached to the deal — no more erased prices or missing info.
The old way
"Call Johnny the wholesaler and see what he says."
Send a secure link to every buyer in your network at once. Competing offers come back digitally. Best price wins — automatically.
The old way
"Go find the manager and get him to price it."
Managers review and approve appraisals inside the app — whether they're in the office, at home, or across the lot.
The old way
"I don't know who offered what on that trade."
Full offer history on every appraisal — who offered, how much, when. Complete audit trail with zero extra work from you.
The old way
"What was our trade number on that deal last month?"
Search your entire appraisal history by VIN, make, model, date, or staff member. Every deal, always findable.
The Platform

Everything your floor needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Designed inside a real dealership. Every feature exists because the alternative was wasting time, losing deals, or texting photos to managers who never responded.

Photo-First Intake

Capture multiple vehicle photos directly in the app. Stored, organized, and attached to the appraisal permanently. No more texting photos to five different people.

3-Minute Appraisals

Year, make, model, mileage, condition, VIN, trade value. Large tap targets, minimal screens, zero friction. Built for one hand while a customer stands in front of you.

Wholesale Offer System

Generate a secure share link and send it to your wholesale contacts. They submit offers through a clean web form. You see all offers ranked in the app. Accept with one tap.

Manager Approvals

Set asking prices, accept or decline offers, and add notes — all with a full audit trail. No more writing prices on whiteboards or chasing down managers in the lot.

Multi-User & Roles

Salespeople create appraisals. Managers price and approve. Separate permissions keep your workflow clean and your pricing confidential from the wrong people.

Shareable Customer Links

Send customers a secure link to view their trade appraisal details. Professional, branded, no account required for them. Builds trust without extra work for you.

The Workflow

From trade-in to offer accepted in four steps.

01
Create Appraisal

Staff opens the app, taps New Appraisal, enters vehicle details and captures photos. Done in under 3 minutes on the floor.

02
Manager Sets Price

Manager reviews photos and condition notes, sets the trade value or asking price directly in the app. No clipboard back-and-forth.

03
Wholesalers Bid

A secure link is generated and shared with buyers. They submit cash offers through a clean web form — no accounts, no friction for them.

04
Accept & Close

Best offer surfaces to the top. Manager accepts with one tap. All other offers are automatically declined. Deal is done.

Why Switch

FAQ

Questions we actually get asked.

No fluff. Straight answers about how PocketLot works and what to expect.

Same day in most cases. Download the app, create your account, add your staff, and you can be doing live appraisals within an hour. There's no hardware to configure, no IT department required, and no lengthy onboarding process. If you hit a snag, we'll walk you through it personally.
Zero friction for them — which is the whole point. You generate a secure share link from inside the app. Your wholesale contacts click it on any device and submit their offer through a clean web form. No login, no app download, no account required. The fewer steps between your buyer and an offer, the faster the money moves.
PocketLot is a native Android app — built specifically for Android because that's what most dealership staff actually use. It's not a web app wrapped in a phone shell. It's fast, it handles the camera properly, and it works on the budget Samsung and Motorola phones your team already has.
Dealership lots are not known for great WiFi coverage — we built around that reality. PocketLot is designed to be resilient in low-connectivity environments. You can continue capturing vehicle data and photos, and everything syncs automatically once your connection returns. No work gets lost.
Yes. Salespeople can create and view appraisals. Managers can set pricing, see all offers, and approve or decline deals. Your wholesale pricing and offer details stay private from floor staff who don't need to see them. Every action is logged to a specific user so there's full accountability across your team.
Your appraisal data, photos, and offer history are only visible to users you authorize inside your account. Wholesale offer links are time-limited and expire after use. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. PocketLot is Canadian-built and hosted, and we don't sell or share your business data with third parties, ever.
Cancel any time — no contracts, no cancellation fees, no runaround. Before you cancel, you can export your full appraisal history as a CSV. Your data belongs to you and we don't hold it hostage. We'd rather earn your business every month than lock you in.
CSV export is available on Pro and Enterprise plans, which works with most dealer management systems. Full API access and direct DMS integrations are available on the Enterprise plan — reach out to discuss your specific setup and we'll tell you exactly what's possible.

Your competitors are moving faster. Your appraisal workflow shouldn't be the bottleneck.
