[USER=9750]@justinventory[/USER] it is worth a shot... but note their are close to 120 different vendors that do this kind of thing already. Frazer is more of a DMS. So if you were to build a full blown web based DMS it might be the way to go. May be follow the Sugar CRM license modal... If you are looking to just build an inventory management system it is lot of effort and reward is not great at $1 a vehicle. Due to the headache that goes in with exports. A single vendor having a problem and troubleshooting that will simply eat into your margins. Plus then you have close to 190 or other sites where the dealer may want the data to go to... and all vendors have their own specs.Lets do a bit more in depth break down...You will need a solid Good vin decoder, and anything good will cost you minimum .15 cents a VIN. But at the start due to less volume that cost is going to be likely around .35 cents... You can try the free Edmunds decoder... but results are mixed and so so... Say you allow unlimited images... or say 28 you take multiple version... (75x75, 320x320, 640x640, 1024x1024) the storage costs their are close to .05 cents; If not more, for a reliable service provider. You have accounting, marketing, and development that needs to be paid... your margins at a $1 are looking quite slim. Even at $100 a month you hardly make any money to cover your self. CFS is in the volume game. They had the tech and infra from the portal and $99 is just an easy get.
