The smart dealership operating system
Photograph a car. YardStrike does the rest.
The AI reads the photos, the VIN and the compliance plate and fills in the listing, writes your website and Facebook descriptions, and publishes the car to your website, Google and Facebook. Sales, contracts, rentals and Japanese imports run in the same system, on your phone.

List a car in minutes
From the first photo to live on your website, Google and Facebook — usually before the car’s been washed.
- 1
Snap the photos
Take the car photos plus the VIN or compliance plate, the number plate and the odometer — in YardStrike, or from any phone by scanning a QR code. No login on the phone.

- 2
The AI fills in the details
Make, model, year, VIN, build and compliance dates, kilometres, colours, features and the condition from the photos. Anything it isn’t sure of is marked “check”.
- 3
Check it and set the price
Confirm the marked fields and price the car. Purchase and wholesale figures stay hidden until you re-enter your password, so they’re safe in front of customers.
- 4
Descriptions written for you
A website description and a Facebook Marketplace listing in your dealership’s own style, using only what’s recorded on the car.
- 5
Live everywhere
Your website, the Google and Facebook catalogues and your marketplace feeds update straight away. Print window posters for a whole row of cars in one go.
