Dealer Impact Announces Video Inventory Mobile Manager; Allows Auto Dealers to Create and Upload Real-Time Videos from iPhone or Android Smart Phone

February 3, 2011 (Des Moines, IA) –Dealer Impact Systems today announced Video Inventory Mobile Manager (VIMM), a mobile application that allows auto dealers to manage their websites' inventory videos, as well as create custom walk-around videos directly from their smart phones. The VIMM application enables "on-the-fly" video management, allowing dealers to preview, approve, and load the just-created videos to their website or social media page instantly. Dealers can also set new video defaults from their iPhone or Android-based cell phones.

"Our auto dealership customers are almost universally ramping up the use of video as part of their Internet marketing strategies," said Brian Cox, president and CEO of Dealer Impact Systems. "This mobile application further enhances their ability to instantaneously load meaningful video content onto their sites and social media pages. Combined with DI's other video products, VIMM significantly enhances a dealership's ability to build presence across the rapidly expanding video portions of the digital universe."

The new VIMM tool is currently being made available to DIS video customers at no charge. Those interested in leveraging the new VIMM application must have a Flick Fusion Video Account and use DI's popular Video Generation System, as well as their Live Video Uploader, an existing add-on application used to upload custom recorded walk-around videos to replace auto-generated video on an existing vehicle. Dealers wishing to watch their just-uploaded phone-generated videos will also need Mobile Video, an add-on which converts full-resolution videos to special formats for viewing on mobile devices.

The VIMM Application is now available through both the iPhone App Store and the Android Market.

DI customers interested in adding VIMM to their DI Video Solution or auto dealerships seeking a comprehensive inventory video creation, management and syndication solution, should contact DI Customer Success Manager Julie Yatchak at j.yatchak@dealerimpact.com.
