What Photo Assistant™ Does
Photo Assistant™ guides dealership staff through the vehicle capture process with step-by-step, on-screen wireframe guidance that shows exactly which shot to capture next. This helps dealerships create more consistent inventory photos while reducing training time and speeding up the capture process.
Once content is captured, everything moves through Autoport®, where photos and merchandising assets are automatically edited, sequenced, optimized, quality-checked, and published. The result is a faster, more consistent merchandising workflow that helps dealerships get vehicles online quickly and correctly.
This page is your central hub for all Photo Assistant™ updates, feature releases, improvements, and workflow enhancements.
