How Does Vehicle Inventory Search Work in Automotive Cloud

Powered by the Automotive Cloud data model, the vehicle inventory search framework helps your users find vehicles and plan inventory better. Users can search based on criteria such as location, model, distance range, fuel type, transmission type, color, and more. By analyzing the results, users can get visibility into their dealer’s inventory.
