ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. -

Software technology provider WalkTheLot.com revealed this past weekend the launch of a mobile app that the company contends gives dealers and industry professionals a quick way to process and get information on a unit out to consumers.

MobileLot is an Android application that can allow users to scan and decode VIN bar codes in order to rapidly collect automotive data, take vehicle photos, print window stickers and buyers guides and immediately publish the vehicle data and photos to the Internet, officials noted.

Explaining more about the company itself, officials noted that WalkTheLot.com is software technology company that specializes in used-car window sticker printing and vehicle data collection and distribution.

Commenting on the app release, WalkTheLot.com president Ken Rucker, noted, “Our main motivation with this product was to take full advantage of the latest technology in order to greatly increase productivity for our window sticker company clients.

“The quicker that they can process each vehicle, while still maintaining the highest standards, the larger their businesses can grow; and the more frequently that they can service their dealers’ clients. Now with nothing more than a hand-held Android device, a wireless or Bluetooth printer and a mobile Internet connection, they can run their businesses easier, more efficiently and more profitably than ever,” he continued.

The company also stressed that even though the program runs on a mobile platform, functionality was not compromised.

“It was extremely important to us that users didn’t have to sacrifice the features that they are used to using with our other products; features such as automatic image resizing and dealer banner watermarks, QR codes, the ability to print Carfax highlights, customizable stickers, VIN decoding and an intuitive user interface,” said Rucker.

“This is one reason why we chose the Android operating system; It wasn’t near as locked-down as other mobile platforms, which would have resulted in greatly restricting what we were able to accomplish in the app,” he concluded.
