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 and I'll price it when I'm back."
Photos are captured in-app and attached to the appraisal the second they're taken. No texts, no camera roll hunting, no delays.
The old way
"I spent 40 minutes texting wholesalers one by one and only heard back from two."
One blast goes to your entire buyer network. You see every offer ranked in the app. Accept the best one with a tap.
The old way
"What did Mason offer on that Ram last week? I can't find the text."
Every offer, every buyer, every amount is logged against the deal permanently. Search it in seconds, months later.
The old way
"Go find the manager and get him to put a number on it before the customer leaves."
Managers price from anywhere — office, home, another lot. Staff get notified instantly. No running around.
The old way
"How many wholesale units did we move last month and what did we average per deal?"
Monthly wholesale report is one click. Units delivered, total revenue, offer-to-close rate. No spreadsheet required.
The old way
"I'm at auction — what trades do we still have sitting on the lot unsold?"
Pull up your full inventory from your phone anywhere. VIN, condition, photos, offers received — all of it in your pocket.
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.

Wholesale Share Links

Generate a secure link for each unit and share it with your entire wholesale network at once. Buyers submit offers through a clean web form — no app, no login, no friction on their end.

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

PocketLot vs. doing it the old way.

This is what most independent dealers are still running in 2026. You don't have to.

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.
Not yet — DMS integrations are on our roadmap. Right now, you can export your full appraisal history as a CSV file, which works with most dealer management systems for record-keeping. If you have a specific integration in mind, reach out and we'll let you know where it sits on our timeline.
