1

Enroll and connect your feed

Submit your dealership details and feed URL — FTP CSV for automotive, Lightspeed API for powersports. LotCast syncs your inventory automatically every night, keeping listings current without any ongoing effort from your team.

2

AI agents discover your inventory

When a buyer asks an AI assistant to find a vehicle, LotCast returns your live inventory — make, model, year, price, availability, photos, and distance from the buyer. Your vehicles surface alongside every enrolled dealer, ranked by proximity and relevance.

3

Leads land in your inbox

When a buyer is ready, they submit a lead through the AI agent. LotCast delivers it instantly in ADF/XML or plain text — the same format your CRM already accepts. No new software, no portal to check.
