Stock Feeds 

In addition to adding cars manually, DriveExpert supports an automated stock feed from your DMS, accounting package or stock management system. This means you’ll always find all your vehicles in DriveExpert, ready to drive or loan.

Supported Feed Types

  1. Email - send us a daily email with an attached MS Excel, CSV or PDF stock list. Your stock feed email address can be found in the Settings menu of DriveExpert.

  2. FTP Upload - an upload to a secure FTP server. The FTP server details can be found in the Settings menu of DriveExpert.

  3. API - stock can either be pushed to DriveExpert’s API, or pulled by DriveExpert from your API’s. Please contact us to activate this option.
