Demand intelligence for car dealers

Turn browsers into buyers — right on your lot.

LotPulse puts a "Watch this car" button on every vehicle. Shoppers get a text when the price drops — or when one just like it lands on your lot. You see exactly which cars real buyers want, and capture the highest-intent leads in the building.

Your leads die at the form.

A "request a quote" button asks the shopper to commit to a conversation before they get anything back. Most won't. They leave, and you never knew they were interested.

The shoppers who want your cars the most are browsing silently — and walking.

LotPulse gives them a reason to raise their hand: something useful in return, the moment they ask.

How it works

One button. A whole demand engine.

It installs on your current website in minutes — no new platform, no rebuild.

1

Shoppers tap Watch

On any vehicle, a shopper taps "Watch this car" and drops their number. No form to fill out — it feels like watching an item online.

2

You see real demand

Your dashboard ranks every car by how many real buyers are watching it. Aging units with zero interest surface instantly as the ones to move.

3

Every move brings them back

Drop a price and every watcher gets a text the same minute. When a similar unit lands, the shoppers who wanted that car hear about it first. Leads flow to your CRM, scored.

What you get

Demand you can finally see — and act on.

Built for the way dealers actually work, by people who run dealer ad accounts.

Demand board, per VIN

See exactly which vehicles real buyers are watching, ranked live. Know your hot units and your problem units at a glance.

The highest-intent leads

A watcher is a buyer who raised their hand on a specific car. They flow to your CRM scored hot, warm, or cool — so your BDC calls the right ten, not all two hundred.

Pricing signals, not guesswork

We cross real watcher demand with days on lot and your price history. Eight people watching and no price move in three weeks? Hold firm. Forty-five days and nobody watching? That's your reprice — drop it and every watcher hears the same minute.

A Monday morning report

New watchers, hot shoppers, texts sent, and which sold cars had someone watching — emailed to you every week. Manage a group? One rollup covers every rooftop.

Prove it against your sold list

Upload your sold and prospect lists and we match them to watchers by phone — so you can see which buyers had been following the car before they bought. Your lists are matched and discarded, never stored.

First-party intent you own

A watch is a named, consented, VIN-level intent signal — captured on your site, in your data, at exactly the moment third-party cookies stopped being able to see it.

LotPulse Promo

For the shopper who's ready, put a real offer on the car.

Some shoppers want to watch quietly. Others will raise their hand right now for the right deal. LotPulse Promo shows a dollar offer on the exact vehicle they're viewing, in your dealership's name, and sends the lead straight to your CRM with the car and the offer attached.

Watch this car For the shopper who isn't ready to talk One tap and a phone number. They get price-drop and arrival texts.
LotPulse Promo For the shopper who'll act on the right deal Name, email and phone. They get a specific dollar offer on this car.

An illustration, in a sample dealer color. If a shopper closes the popup, the small tab stays at the page edge so they can reopen it.

Your brand, your offer

A clean popup with your dealership's name and brand color. The LotPulse name doesn't appear on it. Use the built-in “$500 OFF” design or upload your own artwork, with your own fine print on every offer.

Different offers for different cars

Run several at once. $1,000 off Tacomas, $500 off any used Toyota, something smaller on everything else. Target by new, used or certified, price range, make and model.

On your schedule

Give each offer a start and end date. Pause every offer on a rooftop with one button the moment something changes.

Leads that say what they want

Every lead lands in your CRM with the vehicle, the stock number and the offer they claimed, labeled “LotPulse Promo” so your team can route it.

Polite by design

Vehicle pages only, never search results. Once per car per visit. If a shopper closes it, a small tab lets them come back to it. After they submit, it stops.

See what's working

Views, leads and conversion rate for every offer, over 7 and 30 days, so you can tell which one is earning its place.

Watch catches the shoppers who aren't ready to talk. Promo catches the ones who are. Both run from one inventory feed. Offers are set up and changed for you by your agency. Your team gets the leads, and your dealership honors the offer.

For your shoppers

The Carvana experience — on your website.

Today's buyers expect to shop on their own terms. LotPulse gives them a modern, low-friction way to stay close to the car they want — no form, no back-and-forth just to track a price.

Every shopper who watches a car gets My Drive: a private page with everything they're following, what the price has done since, and what just landed that's like it. It keeps them coming back to your inventory instead of drifting to a third-party marketplace.

Questions

The things dealers actually ask.

Straight answers, including where we're still building.

How does LotPulse know when a price drops?
We read your inventory feed — the same feed that powers your website — and record every price change we see. When a watched vehicle's price falls, everyone watching that VIN gets a text. To be precise about timing: alerts follow your feed's sync cadence, not the instant someone changes a number in another system. In practice that's fast, but it isn't a live DMS connection, and we'd rather tell you that up front than let you discover it.
Which website platforms does it work on?
The Watch button is live and proven today on Dealer Inspire and Dealer.com (DDC), with placement tuned to each. Other platforms — DealerOn, Sincro, custom builds — aren't supported out of the box. The widget anchors to specific parts of your vehicle pages, so a new platform needs a short compatibility pass first. Ask us and we'll tell you honestly whether yours is ready. LotPulse Promo is newer: it's built and tested, and we'll tell you exactly where it has run when you ask.
What does installation actually involve?
One tag in Google Tag Manager and a link to your inventory feed. No site redesign, no code changes for your web vendor, no IT ticket. Most rooftops are live the same day the feed is connected. LotPulse Promo is a second tag of its own and uses the same feed.
How do you handle TCPA and text-message consent?
Consent is a separate, optional checkbox that is unchecked by default — and watching a car is never conditional on agreeing to texts. We store the exact consent wording shown, the timestamp, the phone number, and the vehicle, in an append-only record. STOP, START and HELP all work. Opted-out numbers are permanently suppressed. Texts only send between 8am and 9pm in your local time zone. Our messaging is registered with the carriers under our own A2P 10DLC brand and campaigns.
Will this spam my shoppers?
No, and the limits are built in rather than left to judgment. A shopper only hears about the specific vehicle they chose to watch. Alerts are deduplicated, so a feed hiccup can't re-send the same message. Demand nudges are capped at one per shopper per vehicle, ever. When a car sells, alerts for it stop. And every message carries a working opt-out.
How do the leads reach my CRM?
As ADF/XML — the automotive lead standard — delivered to whatever email address your CRM ingests leads from. That works with essentially every CRM in the industry. What it isn't: a named native connector to VinSolutions, Elead or DealerSocket with bidirectional sync and automated task creation. If you need that depth, tell us and we'll be straight about where we are.
What do I actually see on my end?
A live board ranking every vehicle by how many real shoppers are watching it, a scored shopper list with tap-to-call numbers, pricing signals that cross demand against days on lot, and a report emailed to you every Monday. Run a group? One rollup covers every rooftop.
What happens to a shopper's information?
The Watch button collects a phone number, used to send the alerts they asked for and to deliver the lead to you. LotPulse Promo collects a name, email and phone number, used to deliver that lead to you; nothing is texted from it. That's it. We don't sell any of it, we don't share it with other dealers, and we don't enrich it against third-party data brokers. If you upload lists for matchback reporting, they're matched in memory and discarded — never stored.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. You start with 30 days free on your real inventory, with no setup fee. After that it's month-to-month — cancel with 30 days' notice. There's no annual term, no early-termination fee, and no auto-renewing multi-year deal. You will sign a straightforward service agreement before going live, which is what lets us text on your dealership's behalf.
Does this replace my existing lead forms or chat?
No. It captures the shoppers those tools miss — the ones who won't fill in a form to ask about a price, and who leave without telling you they were interested. It runs alongside whatever you already have. LotPulse Promo is a separate, optional offer popup. It also runs alongside what you have.
Is the promo popup a lead form?
Yes. It asks for a name, email and phone number, and we'd rather say so plainly. The difference is what the shopper gets first: a specific dollar offer on the car they're looking at. It runs alongside the Watch button, which stays one tap and a phone number.
Will the popup annoy my shoppers?
It's limited on purpose. It appears after a set time on a vehicle page (35 seconds by default) or, on desktop, when the shopper moves to leave. It shows at most once per vehicle per visit, never on search pages, and not again on that car for a week by default. If someone closes it, a small tab stays at the edge of the page in case they change their mind, and they can close that too. Once a shopper submits, it stops showing. It also stays out of the way of a car they're already watching.
Can I run different offers on different vehicles?
Yes. A rooftop can run several offers at once, each limited by new, used or certified, price range, make and model, with its own dates and fine print. If a car qualifies for more than one, the offer ranked highest on the list is the one that shows. Today your agency sets up and changes the offers for you; there isn't a self-serve offer builder for dealers yet. The popup collects the shopper's request, and your dealership honors the offer.
Does the promo popup text my shoppers?
No. It doesn't ask for text consent and nothing is texted from it. The lead goes to your CRM and your team follows up the way they normally would.
Will I see this in my own Google Analytics?
Yes, once it's set up. Both tools push events to your website's own data layer: widget views, watch started, abandoned and completed for the Watch button, and view, submit, dismiss and reopen for LotPulse Promo. Getting them into your GA4 reports takes a few triggers in Google Tag Manager for each rooftop, so they don't appear on their own the day the tag goes in.
