Nice! I just fell in love! Wordpress automotive dealership website with inventory. I am so happy I could cry. Is the inventory plugin custom built or something you purchased?

Our inventory plugin is custom built. Although, as mentioned above, DealerTrend offers a vehicle inventory plugin for Wordpress over on their CarDealerPress site. Mike Fitzpatrick from DealerTrend is on these forums every so often and I'm sure he would be glad to answer any questions about it.

Okay so this question has been bugging for the past 12 months.. Does your Wordpress site inventory pull from your DMS? Also how does that exactly work.. Are you just sending a file to your server then it deciphers it and posts it to your wordpress site.. So many questions. Also the plug-in, is that pretty much the core of the inventory portion or do you have other coding work done to get it working correctly? (I've been wanting to learn how to make a DMS work with wordpress for a very long time now)..

I've actually know someone right now who's trying to accomplish what you have done right now.. He's using wordpress and I believe he's working with a MYSLQ? Database and tables for the inventory..

Kcar,

There is NO WAY you will ever beable to create an an automobile inventory tool. NONE. The costs to build (time & money) are 100x greater than just working with an inventory vendor that does this for a living (and has all of it's mistakes behind them).

You say you've been trying to solve this for 12 months, here is your LOW COST solution, you can find many mentions is in this forum.

(clue: HomeNet)

Ps I tried and failed in 2002. That's how I found Homenet.

I am jealous. WordPress, HomeNet, whatever. I know just enough to be dangerous.

I admire Joe and can understand his needs are beyond that of a franchise dealer. The biggest problem facing a dedicated eCommerce / Internet Director is burnout. It interests me but when I get back in retail, I know that I will never have the time to really get involved.
