The Problem

In the competitive automotive market, first impressions matter. Dealers rely on their online inventory to attract customers, yet many struggle to present their vehicles professionally. Vehicle photos are often taken in cluttered lots, poorly lit areas, or inconsistent angles, which can deter potential buyers. These unpolished visuals undermine the dealership’s brand and fail to instill confidence in the quality of their inventory. The challenge is finding a solution that is both efficient and scalable, enabling dealers to consistently produce high-quality images without requiring professional photography skills or equipment.

The Functional Solution

Modern advancements in AI-driven image processing provide a powerful solution to this problem. By leveraging machine learning and computer vision algorithms, it’s possible to automatically detect the vehicle in a photo, remove the existing background, and replace it with a customized image. This technology can also orient and center the vehicle consistently, ensuring a uniform and professional presentation across an entire inventory. The solution is efficient, scalable, and adaptable, allowing dealers to personalize their inventory’s appearance to align with their branding while minimizing manual effort.

The VINCUE Solution

VINCUE takes this technical innovation a step further with a fully integrated photo management feature: 

  • Upload vehicle photos directly into the platform, and VINCUE automatically replaces the background with a custom image of the dealer’s choice. 

  • Whether it’s a sleek showroom, the dealership’s storefront, or a branded banner, you have full control over the visual identity of their inventory. 

  • Ensure each vehicle is properly oriented and centered with AI positioning correction for consistent positioning and aesthetics. 

  • VINCUE will even analyze your photos to ensure they are showtime-ready.

New to the VINCUE family, and I’m very impressed with the immediate support provided by the team. Charlie Basham has been a key factor in getting the dealership started on a great path with the VINCUE system. He has been very responsive to my questions and has made sure I can navigate the key reports and understand the process used. Cheyenne Currier has also been very responsive with merchandising uploads needed by the dealership. I look forward to working with the VINCUE Team in the future.

I use VINCUE on a daily basis and cannot imagine using any other platform. It’s user friendly with it’s drop down menu and search bar at the top of the page. So much so that I haven’t had the need to use live rep assistance as of yet.
