Structure your yard.
Spot anything in seconds.
Lot Helix turns your lot into a map you draw once. Every vehicle sits where you parked it, searchable by VIN, plate or spot like B6, with the days in your yard counted for you.
A lot full of cars and no map is a lot full of phone calls, walking the rows, and guessing how long things have been sitting. Lot Helix puts the whole yard in your pocket.
Draw your yard the way it really is
Start from a common layout or draw your own. Drag the corners until the outline matches the fence line, add corners where the lot bends, and set the real width and depth in feet.
- Eight starting layouts, including back-to-back scrap rows and parking-lot stalls
- Add as many rows as you need, vertical or horizontal, in one tap
- Special spots for motorcycles, police holds, evidence and more
- Gates, offices, piles, hold areas and work pads
- Edge lengths, scale bar and north arrow on the map
Type it. The car lights up.
Search by VIN, plate, make, color or stock number and the matching cars glow while everything else fades. The map flies to them. Every car also has a quiet spot name like A1 or B6, so anyone can say where it is in two characters.
- Find by the last digits of a VIN
- Sections add themselves when you resize the lot
- Color the map by car color, days, or status
Days in the yard, counted for you
Every vehicle wears a ring that turns amber and then red as it sits. You choose the thresholds. Open the list and the oldest vehicles are on top, with an estimate of what is owed.
- Drag a car to move it, spin it to any angle
- Cars snap into stalls and rows when you drop them
- Every move is written to the vehicle’s history
