Maximize Dealer Productivity on iPad with the Split Screen Experience

Built to Help Dealers Get More Done — Faster

See More. Switch Less. Decide Faster.

With split screen views, dealers can view listings and detailed records side by side, eliminating constant tapping back and forth.

This means:

  • Faster vehicle reviews
  • Quicker customer conversations
  • More confident desk decisions

Split screen is now available across key revenue-driving workflows:

  • Vehicle Listings
  • Recon & Servicing
  • Auction Center
  • Customer Details
  • Desking Logs

Expand/Collapse Split View — Full Control, Full Focus

Need to zero in on a single vehicle or step back to scan your whole inventory? The expand/collapse button (the four-arrow icon at the top of the detail panel) lets you toggle between split-screen and full-screen views with a single tap.

This means:

  • Expand the detail view when you want to focus on one vehicle's pricing, market data, or media
  • Collapse back to split view when you need to compare, scroll, or jump between listings
  • No lost context — your inventory list stays right where you left it

💡 Work Smarter, Not Harder Whether you're browsing hundreds of vehicles or analyzing a single listing, the expand/collapse split view puts you in control — delivering speed, clarity, and a better buying and selling experience.

👉 Tap. Expand. Explore. Close. Repeat. Inventory management, simplified.

 

Designed for the Way Dealers Actually Work

The new iPad layout takes full advantage of larger screens and landscape mode, giving dealers a clear, desk-like experience — perfect for:

  • On-the-floor negotiations
  • Inventory reviews
  • Service and recon updates
  • Customer walk-throughs

Less scrolling. Fewer interruptions. More focus.

  • A smoother, more professional experience

Why This Matters for Your Dealership

  • Increase efficiency across sales, service, and auction workflows
  • Reduce time-to-decision with instant access to critical details
  • Empower teams on the floor with a true mobile workspace
