Abstract: Systems and methods for network-based cloud service platform integrations with dealer management systems (DMS) are disclosed herein. A cloud service platform may integrate over the network with an instance of a DMS used by an end user. The cloud service platform may define fields that can be used in conjunction with forms useable with the DMS, and may be further capable of storing field data for those fields. The cloud service platform may provide a graphical user interface (GUI) prompt to a user of the DMS to provide the field data. A form using the fields defined at the cloud service platform may be provided to the cloud service platform and filled at the cloud service platform using field data for those fields stored at the cloud service platform. The form may then be provided to a print service for presentation to the user.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to replacing a legacy Pick environment with a modern microservice architecture. A legacy database and a modern database may be operated in parallel for data validation. Part of the data validation may include verifying that changes to a business object that are entered on the legacy Pick environment are similarly entered by the modern microservice architecture.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating the repair cost of one or more instances of vehicle damage pictured in a digital image are disclosed herein. These systems and methods may first use a damage detection neural network (NN) model to determine location(s), type(s), intensit(ies), and corresponding repair part(s) for pictured damage. Then, a repair cost estimation NN model may be given a damage type, a damage intensity, and the repair part(s) needed to determine a repair cost estimation. The training of each of the damage detection NN model and the repair cost estimation NN model is described. The manner of outputting results data corresponding to the systems and methods disclosed herein is also described.

Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods and systems for modifying information in a document file are disclosed. An example computer-implemented method for modifying information in a document file includes: receiving a first text string; opening a file corresponding to the first text string, the file including binary data and text data; reading the text data; detecting a file location identifier in the text data; replacing a portion of the file location identifier with a second text string based on the first text string; and closing the file.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to replacing a legacy Pick environment with a modern microservice architecture. A legacy database and a modern database may be operated in parallel for data validation. During the validation process, the legacy database may be used as the master copy of the data. After verifying that the modern database satisfies the data needs of a system, the system can switch to using the new modern database as the master copy.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods to provide a platform for standardizing application programming interfaces (APIs) for a plurality of different dealership management software (DMS) systems. A computer server includes one or more processors of an automotive commerce exchange platform. The one or more processors are configured to execute a plurality of different software interfaces with a plurality of different DMS systems and provide a standardized software interface. The standardized software interface is configured to enable communication between the one or more processors of the automotive commerce exchange platform and a plurality of different devices of entities involved with an automotive market. The standardized software interface is also configured to enable the plurality of different devices access to each of the plurality of different DMS systems independent of local software interfaces of the plurality of different devices with each of the different DMS systems.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to replacing a legacy Pick environment with a modern microservice architecture. A legacy database and a modern database may be operated in parallel for data validation. Part of the data validation may include scanning the legacy database for updates to items stored thereon. Embodiments herein may generate an update message by combining item keys from across the multiple files that correspond with a same business object.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, computer servers, and methods to provide features of an automotive commerce exchange platform to users via a single sign-on. A computer server is configured to provide a plurality of different third-party features of a plurality of different third-party feature providers on the automotive commerce exchange platform, and to provide to the users, via user devices, access to individualized subsets of the third-party features via a plurality of single individualized sets of sign-on credentials. Each single individualized set of sign-on credentials corresponds to a different user.

Abstract: A method includes identifying, for a specified vehicle, a competitive set of other vehicles based on input from a user. The method also includes receiving from the user one or more parameters to be used in pricing the specified vehicle. The method further includes identifying a recommended price for the specified vehicle using the competitive set and the one or more parameters. The one or more parameters could include a selection or definition of multiple pricing formulas to be used to identify the recommended price. Different pricing formulas can be associated with different lengths of time that the specified vehicle is available. A first of the pricing formulas can be used to identify a first recommended price for the specified vehicle and, after a specified amount of time has elapsed, a second of the pricing formulas can be used to identify a lower second recommended price for the specified vehicle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, systems and apparatuses for routing API calls to multiple backend systems that share a common API. A system may receive an API call comprising a unique identifier from a client computing device. The system may identify the unique identifier in the API call, and determine a target backend system associated with the unique identifier from the plurality of backend systems. Further, the system may route the API call to the target backend system based on the unique identifier.

Abstract: A service appointment can be mapped to an automobile. Mapping a service appointment to an automobile can include receiving the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) from the automobile, interpreting, via a computing device, a service operation that resolves the DTC, and updating, via the computing device, the plurality of attributes of the plurality of service centers. Mapping the service appointment to an automobile can also include mapping, via the computing device, the service operation to a selected service center from the plurality of service centers based on the plurality of attributes of the selected service center and scheduling an appointment with the service center.

Abstract: A service appointment can be scheduled with a service center. Scheduling a service appointment can include reading a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) of an automobile stored in an electronic memory and providing via a network interface, the DTC to a scheduling system. Scheduling a service appointment can include receiving a potential service appointment with a service center to resolve the DTC and acknowledging the potential service appointment to schedule the potential service appointment with the service center.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for stocking an automobile. Stocking the automobile can include reading the location of the automobile in an electronic memory, comparing, via one or more processors, the location of the automobile with the location of the dealership to determine whether the automobile has arrived at the dealership, and notifying, via a network interface, the stocking system that the automobile has arrived at the dealership. Stocking the automobile can also include receiving a notification, via the network interface, from the dealership that the automobile is checked-in.
