What to include in your vehicle stock merchandising checklist

  • Match photos to the stock reference

    Keep the vehicle identifier and photo set together so imagery from another trim cannot pass as the current listing.

  • Review the specification source

    Record where trim, equipment and other listed details came from. Flag a mismatch rather than filling gaps from an unrelated model.

  • Keep price and publication decisions separate

    An accepted photo set does not approve the advertised price. Keep the reviewed listing version and each required decision visible before publication.

  • Fit your merchandising checklist

    Choose the photographs, vehicle details and approvals your dealership requires for each channel. Keep the version prepared for publication easy to identify.

  • Keep appointments in their own flow

    Use a test-drive scheduler for staff availability and customer slots. Listing readiness does not reserve the vehicle for a drive.
