Stock photos simply don’t work. In fact, 1 in 5 consumers consider it a bait and switch tactic, leading them to question a dealer’s integrity. Impel’s Image Cloning delivers a custom photo experience at a fraction of the cost of traditional photography approaches.

An imaging solution that drives vehicle sales.

The opportunity cost of sub-optimal merchandising is high. Every day that a “coming soon” image placeholder or stock photo is used on your website is another missed opportunity to engage with online shoppers. With Image Cloning, you can generate more leads by effectively merchandising vehicles while they’re still in transit, in storage, or in processing. By getting new vehicle images online faster (and earlier in the process), you’re able to create a more engaging online experience for vehicle shoppers while moving inventory faster.

Automation for your imaging process.

Automation for your imaging process.

Image Cloning employs a sophisticated image matching engine to determine whether or not photos from similar vehicles can be reused for incoming inventory. If no match exists, a customized shot list is generated – ensuring that your photographer or lot services provider focuses only on generating images that do not already exist.

Say goodbye to your greatest imaging challenges.
