How Files.com Fits With DealerSocket

A dealership on DealerSocket moves data to and from its marketing, inventory, and DMS systems as files. Leads, customer data, and inventory export as scheduled CSV and flat files over SFTP, and inbound feeds update the CRM the other way — each system on its own schedule, each in its own layout.

Files.com is the SFTP endpoint and automation layer around those feeds. DealerSocket delivers exports to your Files.com site; an Automation validates each file, normalizes the CSV or flat-file format the receiving system expects, and routes it to the right system folder — or collects inbound feeds and stages them where DealerSocket picks them up. Every transfer is logged, every system is scoped to its own folder, and failed transfers retry instead of dropping a feed.

Route Each Feed Automatically

An Automation routes each lead, customer-data, or inventory feed to the right system folder on a schedule, retries on failure, and stages inbound feeds for DealerSocket to retrieve — without anyone moving files by hand.

See Automations

Normalize Lead And Inventory Data

Convert and reshape lead, customer, and inventory data — CSV, flat-file, XML, and JSON — into the layout each receiving system expects, and pull values out of each feed to route it, before it lands.

See Transform & Extract

Scope Every System

Each marketing, inventory, or DMS system gets its own folder, its own credentials, and its own permissions — with a full record of every feed sent or received.
