Revolutionizing the Automotive Industry with Lotlinx

Lotlinx was founded by Len Short, Robert Vucic, and Jason Knight, who collectively had decades of automotive experience. They recognized the problems dealers faced, such as too many layers between dealers and shoppers, and the lack of technology to identify and respond to specific dealer requirements. In 2012, they launched Lotlinx with the vision to bring dealers directly to the right customers, unrestricted by channel. Prior to Lotlinx, they had also started Chug.net, a Vehicle Display Network that allowed shoppers to search dealers' inventories, but they knew they could do more.

Lotlinx quickly grew and gained traction among dealers, with over 100 actively using the platform within a year of its launch. Today, the company partners with thousands of dealers, including hundreds of rooftops under the Nation's Top 100 Auto Groups, OEMs, co-op programs, and a vast network of resellers. Lotlinx is the only solution that begins by determining a dealer's inventory needs and uses the latest technologies and machine learning to put specific cars in front of specific buyers while making it easy to access meaningful data on ROI. The company offers a simple cost per unique shopper with completely transparent pricing, helping dealers sell more cars and do what they do best, at scale.

Empowering Auto Dealers with Data-Driven Solutions

Lotlinx offers three different products to empower automobile dealers to maximize their profits by making data-driven decisions and optimizing their inventory management. The first product, Lotlinx VMX, is a browser extension that provides dealers with VIN-level insights and recommendations to take control of their marketing efforts. With access to Lotlinx's proprietary data set of real-time market factors, VMX offers the industry's largest proprietary market factor database from any desktop for free. By flagging potential risk VINs, VMX enables dealers to take immediate corrective action to optimize their inventory and maximize profitability.

The second product, Lotlinx Select, is an advanced interactive platform that gives dealers complete control over their inventory challenges. It allows dealers to easily identify potential risks such as aging, pricing, and competition, and execute VIN-specific inventory strategies to correct them. The platform is customizable to meet the unique needs of any dealership, providing them with tailored solutions to optimize their inventory and increase profitability.

The third product, Lotlinx Complete, is a comprehensive platform solution that provides dealers with complete control over their entire inventory. It offers a suite of features such as real-time market analysis, inventory management, and targeted advertising, and has the capability of identifying potential risks and executing VIN-specific inventory strategies to correct them.
