Integrating inventory into my website

[jalowiec]

Hi,

I'm new to the Forum. Can anyone recommend a web solution/tool for inventory management that automatically updates my site?
Right now I'm using a .txt document edited locally and uploaded to the site each time a car is sold or added. I've done that since the '90s and can't seem to find a better way.

Any help would be appreciated,

-Jack

Thank you for your reply. They run their own websites for a monthly fee, I'm looking for a local app to put cars on my own website

The website you're using now is from a local company? Non-automotive vendor?

Hi Jessica,

Yes, I use my own website (www.best4wheels.com), and my inventory showcase leaves alot to be desired

Where is the data coming from? DMS, Access, Excel, Other?

What format does it need to use? HTML, XML, JSON, TXT, Other?

How is it to be put on the website? HTML FORM, POST, FTP, SFTP, Other?

Thanx guys, I use my own websaite (best4wheels.com) and the inventory link I currently have leaves a lot to be desired. Ideally I would like a picture bar scrolling across the screen which isn't hard from the technical standpoint, however I have to redesign my website each time my inventory changes...

If you don't need any inventory management app... then you can move over to WordPress and plug this in to the site.
WordPress › Grid Products « WordPress Plugins

No monthly fees and an open source platform. Wordpress is the way to go good sir! You may also find some interesting plugins to push your inventory. Check out https://cardealerpress.com/

Wordpress is indeed the way to go. Open source and customization options are infinite.
