Sales & marketplace

Listing a vehicle on the marketplace

Take a freshly reconditioned vehicle from the recon bay to a live listing — photos, pricing and syndication included.

Updated 2026-05-14 · marketplace

Once a vehicle clears recon, listing it is a three-minute job — not a half-day. SENTINEL syndicates the listing across your enabled channels and pushes the photoset that converts.

1. Confirm the vehicle is front-line ready

The recon queue marks vehicles Ready when:

  • Mechanical inspection passes (or a documented exception is logged)
  • Detailing is signed off by the lot manager
  • Photoset meets your standard (number of frames, lighting, angles)

You can't list a vehicle that isn't Ready — it's a safety guardrail, not a UX nag.

2. Confirm or override the price

The Oracle proposes a list price based on:

  • Predicted days-to-sell at three price bands
  • Comparable sales in the last 90 days, weighted by region
  • Your historical margin on similar units

The proposal is a recommendation, never a lock. Override it any time — your override is recorded in the audit log with the reason you provide.

3. Choose your channels

Marketplace → Channels lists every syndication target you've authorised:

  • Public marketplaces (your dealer site, AutoTrader, Kijiji, Facebook)
  • Private B2B floors (wholesale, dealer-to-dealer)
  • Lease return buyback portals (if applicable)

Toggle the channels for this vehicle. The platform respects each channel's content rules — descriptions, photoset format, disclosure language — automatically.

4. Publish

When you hit publish, the listing is pushed to every selected channel within the channel's update cadence (usually seconds to a few minutes). Inbound leads land in Marketplace → Leads, attached to the vehicle record. Your sales team sees the lead in their CRM seconds later if you've wired the integration.

What ships in the box

Every listing includes:

  • VIN-verified specs
  • Recon-attested photoset
  • Predicted days-to-sell band
  • A QR code on the window sticker linking to a public detail page

You don't have to think about any of this. It just happens.
