title: "How to audit vehicle lot inventory with computer vision"
description: "Walk or drive the lot on a set route with a phone or camera, or fly a drone where it is allowed, then use a model trained on the business own photos to find each vehicle and read the stock tag or window label it already uses. The tool matches what it saw against the inventory list and builds a short exception list of vehicles missing from the lot, vehicles on the lot but not in the list, and vehicles parked in the wrong row. Staff check each exception in person, the tool only reads tags on the business own stock, and people update the inventory system."

# How can a dealership, rental branch or fleet yard use computer vision to check which vehicles are on the lot?
Walk or drive the lot on a set route with a phone or camera, or fly a drone where it is allowed, then use a model trained on the business own photos to find each vehicle and read the stock tag or window label it already uses. The tool matches what it saw against the inventory list and builds a short exception list of vehicles missing from the lot, vehicles on the lot but not in the list, and vehicles parked in the wrong row. Staff check each exception in person, the tool only reads tags on the business own stock, and people update the inventory system.
## What this means in practice
- Pick a set route and time for each audit so results can be compared week to week
- Make sure every vehicle has a clear stock tag or window label the camera can read
- Train the model on the business own photos of its lot, tags and vehicle types
- Match what was seen against the inventory list and produce a short exception list
- Have staff check each exception in person and update the inventory system themselves
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
