DeskLot 2.1 Used-Car Window Sticker / Buyers Guide Printing and Automobile Dealership Vehicle Data Publishing Software For Windows</h3> <p>DeskLot is a professional grade window sticker printing software program not only used by many automobile dealerships to print their own used-car window stickers and buyers guides, but also a good percentage of our customers use DeskLot to run their own <a href="Used-Car-Window-Sticker-Printing-Business.asp?rid=">used-car window sticker printing businesses</a> very effectively. We are constantly hearing from them about how well DeskLot is working for them and how empowering they find the flexibility it offers them.</p> <p>As we like to say, "DeskLot is the most flexible and powerful window sticker printing software on the market". We're so sure of that that we even allow you to <a href="Download.asp?rid=">use it free of charge for a full 30 days</a> so that you can put it to work for you and see for yourself long before you decide to <a href="Register/HowToRegister.asp?rid=">purchase</a>.</p> <p>DeskLot has been on the market and being used in the real-world since October 2002 so it is thoroughly field tested and proven. No wonder so many window sticker printing companies rely on DeskLot to insure that they can provide their dealer clients with the best, most flexible and fullest suite of services.</p> <p>Our suite of available products/services cover every gambit for those replacing a major sticker printing company. For printing stickers and publishing inventory data to other services, DeskLot has you covered. If you are a window sticker printing company and need to provide your dealerships with inventory for their websites with a login for them to modify their vehicles, much like what they might be used to with another service, then the <a href="AddOns.asp?rid=">WalkTheLot.com</a> add-on is there to fill that void for both dealerships and window sticker printing companies alike. However, the <a href="AddOns.asp?rid=">WalkTheLot.com</a> system is much more robust, feature-rich and customizable than what they are probably used to. Additionally, with the <a href="AddOns.asp?rid=">WalkTheLot.com</a> add-on, you can even have the <a href="AddOns.asp?rid=">WalkTheLot.com</a> system "automatically" send the dealerships inventory to other services if you choose <i>(Additional fee's apply. See <a target="_blank" href="http://www2.walkthelot.com/">WalkTheLot.com</a> for complete details and pricing on this add-on service)</i>.</p> <p>Try DeskLot today. <a href="Download.asp?rid=">D<u>ownload</u> and use our software and put it to work for you immediately for FREE for a full 30 days</a> without limitation.

Don't rely on a salespersons pitch when making a decision on what software you choose... not even ours. People talk a good game. If you can't try it to see if what they are telling you is true, then chances are you don't want to buy it. With DeskLot, we give you a <a href="Download.asp?rid=">full 30 days to put our software to work for you</a>. Most of our clients have the software in full production long before it is time for them to purchase, which is great, because it lets them really thoroughly test it in a production environment before making their purchasing decision.</p> <p>It is important to know that there are some <i><b>essential functionality features</b></i> that you will need regardless of whether you are a dealership or a window sticker printing company. Functionality features that you might at first not be aware of.</p> <h3><b>Publishing Vehicle Data to Other Services</b></h3> <p>Most window sticker printing software only allows you to publish vehicle data to the services (such as Cars.com, AutoTrader, Cobalt, etc) that they have "hard-coded" into their software, IF they allow you to publish to other services at all. This is especially bad for anyone starting or running a pre-owned vehicle window sticker printing business since dealers have their inventory broadcast to a diverse variety of other services. Not good for business for you to have to tell your new prospects, "sorry, we can't do that, our software only allows us to send to A, B, C and D". For auto dealers the same applies. Auto dealerships have in many cases grown accustomed to their window sticker printing company just magically sending their inventory data to other Internet sites for them. Then, when they decide to do it themselves, it is a rude awakening to find out, the software they just bought to print their stickers can not do that.</p> <p>With DeskLot, we don't "hard code" export configurations in our software. Instead, we created a "Data Transfer" system which lets you configure an unlimited number of configurations to send to most any services. Within the Data Transfer Configuration screens, you enter the parameters needed to accommodate the service you want to send to. In most cases, the service you desire to send vehicle data to should provide you with a specifications sheet that outlines how they want their data formatted and where they want it sent. For your convenience, we have included some sample exports for some popular services within DeskLot by default. For more detailed information on this topic see our <a href="Features.asp?rid=">features</a> page.</p> <h3><b>Use Any Window Stickers You Like - Create Any Design You Like</b></h3> <p>Most window sticker printing software does NOT let you design a sticker anyway you want to. You generally enter text and add a graphic or two and the software is "hard-coded" to put that content in one or more places "pre-defined by the software". You can not control where it goes and in many cases what goes there (for example, Make always goes here, Model always goes here, etc). Because of this limitation, of course you are limited to what you can do but more importantly, you have to purchase stickers from them because they hard coded their software to use their stickers with their dimensions and positioning... and unfortunately, in many cases, their stickers are pretty expensive. If you come to find out that their sticker quality is not up to par, such as they smear or peel off in the heat, you're locked in. It's not like you can just run out and buy your stickers from somewhere else in most cases.</p> <p>DeskLot is not like this. Although we do <a href="Stickers.asp?rid=">sell window stickers</a> that are top-quality and at <a href="Stickers_Pricing.asp?rid=">awesome prices</a>, you do not HAVE to purchase them from us. You can purchase stickers from anyone you like... you could even print your stickers on blank paper if you chose to. This is because the Desklot window sticker design environment lets you place whatever you want wherever you want. Graphics, shapes, vehicle data fields, text, fonts, colors, vehicle photo's, etc. You're in control. You can choose from <a href="StickerShots.asp?rid=">one of our many window sticker templates that are included in the software</a> that are designed to print on <a href="Stickers.asp?rid=">our stickers</a> or you can create your own virtually anyway you want them. Print on your own custom printed stickers, pre-printed, blanks, blank paper, whatever. You choose.</p> <h3><b>Print an Unlimited Number of Window Stickers</b></h3> <p>Some companies limit the number of stickers you can print from within their software or charge you per-sticker for printing window stickers. We have even heard of some companies that make you get a new unlock code after you have printed a certain number of stickers and yet others that only let you print as many stickers as you have ordered window sticker forms from them. Interesting. You can print as many stickers as you like with DeskLot with no additional fee's other than you obviously have to purchase your stickers from somewhere, whether it be us or someone else.</p> <h3><b>Enter an Unlimited Number of Used Cars</b></h3> <p>Simply put, enter or import as many vehicles as you like.</p> <h3><b>Maintain an Unlimited Number of Dealership Inventory Accounts (<a href="Pricing.asp?rid=">Enterprise Version</a> Only)</b></h3> <p>With our <a href="Pricing.asp?rid=">Standard Version</a>, which is intended for use by dealerships who only need to maintain <i>one</i> separate inventory account, you are limited to one. However, with our <a href="Pricing.asp?rid=">Enterprise Version</a>, you may create as many individual dealership accounts as you like. The <a href="Pricing.asp?rid=">Enterprise Version</a> is intended for window sticker printing companies or dealerships who need to maintain multiple individual inventory accounts (i.e. each dealerships vehicles are kept in a separate database from the others).</p> <h3><b>Choice of Two VIN Decoding Technologies</b></h3> <p>Choose from two <a href="VIN_Decoding.asp?rid=">VIN decoders</a>. They're both already installed with DeskLot so there is nothing further to install. Simply click the VIN Decoding menu from within DeskLot and enable the decoder of your choice. One works from a local database and does <i>basic</i> VIN decoding. The other connects to an Internet database and provides <i>extensive</i> VIN <i>exploding</i>. For more information on the VIN decoding technology available in DeskLot, visit our <a href="VIN_Decoding.asp?rid=">VIN Decoding page</a>.</p> <h3><b>No Special Hardware to Buy</b></h3> <p>With DeskLot, there are no cute little proprietary gadgets to buy. With some window sticker printing software, you have to use a special machine that you can only purchase from them. With DeskLot, you use your own computer, printer and digital camera. Some clients use their desktop computer. Others their notebook. Many of our customers who run their own window sticker printing businesses with DeskLot use tablet PC's... of their choice. Additionally, we don't offer any software for PDA's. Reason; PDA's are too limited and with the continuing evolution of notebook and tablet PC's that just keep getting smaller and more powerful, there really is no need. They are cute though. Additionally, it is our thought that by spending time developing support for PDA's (for which we only <i>very rarely</i> even get a request for), it distracts and takes time away from <i>continuing</i> to improve DeskLot.</p> <h3><b>Contracts</b></h3> <p>From what we're hearing, some companies make you sign a contract to use their software? Huh?! Whatever! DeskLot has no contracts.</p> <h3><b>Where May We Take You Next?</b></h3> <ul msimagelist> <li><a href="Features.asp?rid=">More detailed information on some of the core features of DeskLot</a>.<br> <img border="0" src="images/layout/3x3_transparent.gif" width="3" height="3"></li> <li><a href="ScreenShots.asp?rid=">View sample screen shots of the program</a>.<br> <img border="0" src="images/layout/3x3_transparent.gif" width="3" height="3"></li> <li><a href="StickerShots.asp?rid=">View the many pre-created window sticker templates designed to get you up and going quickly with the most popular styles</a>.<br> <img border="0" src="images/layout/3x3_transparent.gif" width="3" height="3"></li> <li><a href="Pricing.asp?rid=">DeskLot versions, pricing and licensing</a>.<br> <img border="0" src="images/layout/3x3_transparent.gif" width="3" height="3"></li> <li><a href="VIN_Decoding.asp?rid=">VIN decoding technologies available within DeskLot</a>.<br> <img border="0" src="images/layout/3x3_transparent.gif" width="3" height="3"></li> <li><a href="AddOns.asp?rid=">Information on add-on features and services available for DeskLot</a>.<br> <img border="0" src="images/layout/3x3_transparent.gif" width="3" height="3"><img border="0" src="images/layout/3x3_transparent.gif" width="3" height="3"></li> <li><a href="Services.asp?rid=">Additional priced convenience services such as sticker modification, layout, and inventory export configurations</a>.<br> <img border="0" src="images/layout/3x3_transparent.gif" width="3" height="3"></li> <li><a href="Download.asp?rid=">Get started using DeskLot immediately by clicking here to download your very own 30 day trial copy</a>.<br> <img border="0" src="images/layout/3x3_transparent.gif" width="3" height="3"></li> <li>Be sure not to overlook the extensive built-in help system that is within DeskLot and is available by pressing F1 from any screen within the program.
