InventoryFlow runs e-commerce for powersports dealerships on their behalf: it connects to Lightspeed, builds and manages eBay listings, and handles buyer messages while the dealer ships. Dealer Portal is software the dealer's team runs. Both connect to Lightspeed, so the choice comes down to done-for-you versus do-it-yourself.
Dealers who want an outside team to build and manage their marketplace listings, pricing and buyer messages, and prefer a performance-based fee over a fixed monthly price.
Dealers who want to run their own parts e-commerce from one dashboard, with their own parts website, Amazon and eBay, shipping, email and texting, for a flat monthly price.
