# Transfer Vehicles to a Dealership to Meet Customer Demand

Sometimes customers request a specific vehicle model at the dealer location nearest to them but the location doesn’t have adequate inventory on hand. You can quickly search for vehicles that meet the customer’s specification within a specified distance range to see which location can fulfill the demand. After analyzing the results, you can transfer the inventory. This example shows how an inventory manager can search for vehicles and transfer them using the Vehicle Inventory Search framework in Automotive Cloud.

District sales managers at Neo Motors want to find a list of all blue vehicles for the model NeoSport. They want to limit the search to 10 kilometers from California so that the transfer takes minimal time. Finally, they want to transfer the relevant vehicles to the dealer location that’s nearest to a customer who has expressed interest in a blue NeoSport vehicle of the LS variant.
