What Autoexact does

AutoExact, Inc. is a privately held automotive dealership services and software company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Odessa, Florida. The company operates in the Southeast United States, serving car dealerships with a vertically integrated stack that combines on-site professional photography, branded video production, customized window sticker printing, and a SaaS dealer inventory management platform branded AEX (AutoExact Exchange). Field representatives visit client dealerships five days per week to capture trade-in and inventory photos using commercial-grade cameras, produce window stickers, and update the AEX system, with personal customer service available seven days per week.

The AEX platform is the core technology asset, offering real-time tracking and reporting of live inventory, role-based user access controls, full audit trail of inventory edits, at-a-glance health reports on image coverage, and integration with the vAuto dealer management system for synchronized data flows. The platform is accessible through a web-based dealer login portal and an Android mobile application. A separate Photo Studio offering is operated under the 360booth.com domain. AutoExact emphasizes direct client relationships with no reseller intermediaries and custom data exports that do not require partnership fees.

The business model combines recurring SaaS subscription revenue (AEX) with professional services revenue (photography, video, window sticker production). Go-to-market is sales-led and field-driven, with outreach via phone (813-212-9909) and email ([email protected]), supported by customer testimonials and a regional Facebook presence. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or ownership changes, and operates with 11-50 employees out of a single Florida location serving a regional dealer base.

Direct peers

• SpinCar: SpinCar is a direct competitor providing vehicle photography, 360-degree walkarounds, and digital merchandising solutions to automotive dealerships. It overlaps with AutoExact's photo studio and video services, and is rapidly expanding into AI-driven merchandising that threatens AutoExact's manual on-site service model.
• PureCars: PureCars provides digital marketing, merchandising, and inventory intelligence solutions to automotive dealers. Its product set — including vehicle video, inventory photography tools, and analytics — directly competes with AutoExact's photo, video, and AEX software offerings.
• LotLinx: LotLinx is a digital marketing platform that helps dealerships manage inventory merchandising, vehicle data, and online listing optimization. Its focus on inventory-level merchandising and data services is directly comparable to AutoExact's AEX platform and vehicle data offerings.
• CarStory: CarStory (now part of AutoPoint / S&P Global) provides AI-driven vehicle merchandising, pricing, and inventory analytics for dealerships. Its data-driven approach to vehicle listings is competitive with AutoExact's data services and AEX reporting features.
• DealerCenter: DealerCenter offers dealer management software (DMS) for independent dealerships, including inventory management features. While broader in scope, its inventory modules directly overlap with the AEX platform that AutoExact bundles with its photo services.

Broad incumbents

• Dealer.com (Cox Automotive): Dealer.com is Cox Automotive's flagship digital marketing platform for dealerships, offering website, SEO, and merchandising solutions. It overlaps with AutoExact's video-on-VDP and dealer's online merchandising stack, and as a broader incumbent absorbs more of the workflow AutoExact services.
• vAuto (Cox Automotive): vAuto is AutoExact's current integration partner and a Cox Automotive product providing inventory management and pricing for dealerships. While it is a partner rather than a competitor, its broader inventory platform roadmap overlaps with AutoExact's AEX, and its Cox ownership makes it a potential competitive encroachment vector.
• AutoTrader: AutoTrader, owned by Cox Automotive, is the largest U.S. marketplace for new and used vehicles. While primarily a listing platform, its dealer inventory and merchandising features (including sponsored photo and video placements) compete with AutoExact's content-driven VDP and SEO offerings.

Emerging players

• Imagin8: Imagin8 provides automotive photo and video production services to dealerships, often through outsourced or fractional models. It is a direct competitor in the on-site dealer photography niche that AutoExact was built on, though typically serving independent and smaller dealer groups.

Regional players

• CarsForSale: CarsForSale is a U.S. vehicle listing platform with a strong dealer-base focus. While its coverage overlaps AutoExact's Florida dealer market, its core business is listings rather than on-site photography, making it a partial competitor in the dealer merchandising stack.
