By focusing on only one industry, the mar-tech we have built is designed to meet the unique needs of auto dealers.

This novel approach is why LotLinx customers can improve their business and reduce waste at the same time. I'm beyond excited to apply my digital marketing expertise to the industry to continue this forward momentum."
