3rd party isnt something we want to get into, but it has been looked into before, hiring hourly is likely cheaper for our owner as well. I am the photo taker at 3 of our 21 stores. We have 6 people in total who take all of our photos. I have an inventory of 1200 and usually around 200 cars on my photo list in one week. Most dealerships that have less inventory are using cameras and manually uploading or using apps such as Vinconnect which uploads very slowly. Uploading 1000 photos can take an hour or more. Vincameras are old, but can upload about 1000 photos in 10 minutes. Vinsolutions has completely abandoned the photo side of their service. If they had a photo app that would assign photos to stock numbers like their Vincameras, all my problems might be solved. I do appreciate your recommendations though.
