Disclosure, before anything else on this page
Sutherlin Nissan is our first paying customer. It is also where I work. I am not an outside vendor who sold a dealership some software — I built this for the store I show up to, and they pay for it the same as anyone else would.
That means they are not an independent reference, and you should weigh what anyone there says about it accordingly. You would find this out eventually — the car business is small. I would rather you hear it from me, on the page where I am asking you to trust me.
The desk or the lot. You had to pick one.
Anyone who has worked a floor knows the trade. Sit at the desk and work the internet leads, or go outside and catch the ups walking the lot. Do the first and you miss the people who drove to you. Do the second and a Marketplace message sits unread for two hours, which in this business means it is gone.
Posting inventory made it worse. Every car is a fresh listing: photos, price, mileage, body style, description. Multiply that by a lot that turns over constantly, and somebody is anchored to a chair doing data entry on cars that are already sitting outside where a buyer could see them.
So the software does the posting, and — this is the part that actually changed the day — the replies come to your phone. Facebook Messenger and Instagram, where the buyer already is. You are not choosing anymore.
“I love the app because they can leave the desk and go get ups while they get leads directly to their phone on Facebook Messenger and Instagram.”
Why it matters that a dealership person built it
Most software in this category is built by software people who have never had a manager ask why the lot count is wrong. I get asked that in person. When a scraper pulls the wrong photos onto the oldest cars, or a listing goes up with the body style blank, I am not reading it in a support ticket a week later — it is my store, that morning.
That is the entire quality mechanism, and I would rather describe it plainly than dress it up. It is not a QA department. It is that the person writing the code is the first person the bug happens to.
It also sets the pace. Facebook does not publish what it considers too fast, so the app spaces posts out deliberately rather than firing everything at once — because the account it was first tuned against was ours.
What you will not find on this website
A dealership is being asked to connect this to their Facebook presence. That is a real thing to hand over, and the least I can do is not lie in the brochure.
- No invented numbers. The figures on the homepage are computed from the live database, and if the database cannot be reached the band disappears rather than falling back to something flattering. It used to fall back. That was wrong and it is gone.
- No ban-proof promise. Nobody selling you this can make one, because Facebook does not publish the rules and changes them without telling anyone. What we do is pace posting like a person and keep your account in your hands.
- No anonymous testimonials. If a quote is on this site, a real named person said it and knows it is here. There is exactly one quote on this page for that reason.
- No fake status light. There was a green dot in the footer reading all systems operational. It was hardcoded — it said that during outages too. It is now a real status page that measures what it can and says plainly what it cannot see.
- Your photos are your photos. We post the images your website already serves. We do not retouch a vehicle, stage it somewhere it has not been, or generate a car that does not exist.

There is no support queue and no chatbot. Write to me and I answer — sometimes slowly, because I am also at work.
