vAuto Lead Count

Cory Wilhelm

When repricing cars, it was important to us to be able to see how many leads on a vehicle we had and if there are any current leads on the vehicle that we're working. Now I know we can have two screens open (Drive&vAuto) and reprice by looking at leads that way, but maybe there is a way for Drive to talk to vAuto, so we don't need even more screens open & it's clean? That would be a major hit and I'm sure I'm speaking for a lot of dealers here. Thank you!

Thanks for writing this up, Cory Wilhelm — totally hear you on wanting to keep repricing clean without juggling Drive + vAuto on multiple screens. To make sure we’re designing the right thing, can I ask a couple quick clarifiers? Where in DriveCentric would you ideally want to see the lead count while you’re repricing (vehicle details, inventory list, or directly in the repricing flow)? And when you say “how many leads,” are you thinking total lifetime leads on that VIN, a recent time window, or only current/open leads you’re actively working? Lastly, how are you using that lead count to guide the repricing decision (e.g., avoid changing price if there are active leads, prioritize certain units, adjust more/less)?

Shelby Parker Thanks for the reply — I think we may be on two different pages, which is totally fine.
In vAuto, we currently see a count of active leads on each vehicle. Ideally, I’d like to see all leads tied to that vehicle, not just the active ones.
I’m not looking to view this inside DriveCentric, since that’s not our inventory tool. What I’m looking for is similar to how VinSolutions worked — where lead names were pushed into vAuto and visible on the vehicle.
I’ve attached a screenshot of what we’re currently seeing in vAuto for reference. Hope this helps clarify.
