ScoutX and Lightspeed DMS

Scout reads your units out of Lightspeed automatically. Lightspeed stays exactly as it is — parts, service and accounting are untouched.

How it works

Inventory flows from your DMS into Scout automatically on a schedule — no exports, no spreadsheets, no re-keying.
Units arrive with pricing, status, photos and specifications, and changes made in the DMS appear on the site without anyone touching the website.
Feed health is monitored. If your DMS stops sending, an automated check catches it within hours rather than when a customer calls about a unit you sold last week — a failure mode most powersports dealers have experienced at least once.
Multi-franchise inventory maps to brand-aware categories, so a store carrying four OEM lines gets four navigable inventory sets rather than one flat list.
Lightspeed API keys are per dealer, so a group with several accounts is wired store by store.
Leads can also travel the other way, into Lightspeed CRM over its lead import API — configured separately from the inventory sync.
Staleness is judged on the date of the feed file itself, not on whether the nightly sync ran. A provider that keeps re-serving the same file makes the sync look healthy while your inventory quietly freezes; that is the case the check is built to catch, and anything over 48 hours raises an alert.
