Installing the Mobile Dashboard and Reordering Your Queue Between Customers

A floor rep's day is not shaped like an office worker's. There is no uninterrupted two-hour block at a desk. There are eight-minute gaps between a walk-around and a test drive, five minutes waiting for the finance office, and ten minutes after a customer leaves when the next up has not arrived yet. Software that only works when you are sitting at a workstation is software that gets used at 4:45 p.m., if at all.

That reality is why PostToMarket includes a mobile dashboard that can be installed on a phone's home screen. It puts your queue where you already are: in your pocket, one tap from the lock screen. This article covers how to install it, how to use it in the gaps in a sales day, and how to reorder your queue so the right unit is next when you do get to a computer to post.

One point of scope up front: listings are posted by the Chrome extension on a computer. The mobile dashboard is for the management side: seeing your queue, shaping it and keeping it accurate. That split is a feature, not a limitation, because the decisions about what comes next are the ones you make between customers.

Why a Mobile Queue Matters on a Dealership Floor

A queue is only as useful as its order. The unit at the top is the one that will be posted next, and the order should change when the lot changes.

What changes during a normal day

• A customer asks about a vehicle you were going to post this afternoon. It should now go first.
• Recon finishes a unit that has been waiting a week.
• A unit sells, or goes on hold, and needs to leave the queue.
• A manager adds a priority unit and expects it to be at the top.
• Weather turns and the truck you were saving for tomorrow is suddenly your best seller.

If you can only fix the order when you are back at your desk, the queue is stale for hours. A queue you can adjust from your phone stays aligned with reality.

The moments the mobile dashboard fits

1. Between ups. A two-minute reorder after the last customer leaves.
2. During the morning meeting. When the manager changes priorities, you update your queue instantly.
3. On the lot. You are standing next to a unit that has just been detailed and decide it should go first.
4. After hours. A last glance at tomorrow's order before you leave.

Installing the Mobile Dashboard on Your Phone

Installing a dashboard to a phone's home screen is a standard capability of modern phone browsers, and it is quick. The exact menu wording differs between phones and browser versions, so treat the steps below as the general pattern rather than a fixed script.

Step-by-step

1. Open the PostToMarket dashboard in your phone's browser and sign in with your email.
2. Open the browser's menu and look for an option to add the page to your home screen or to install it as an app. On many iPhones this appears in the browser's share menu; on many Android phones it appears in the browser's main menu.
3. Confirm the name and add it.
4. Find the new icon on your home screen and open it from there.
5. Sign in if prompted and confirm that you can see your queue.

Keep it easy to reach

• Put the icon on your first home screen, not buried in a folder.
• Keep your phone's browser updated, because the install options depend on it.
• If a rep shares a work phone with others, each person should sign in with their own email, since queues are per person.

If the install option does not appear

Browsers hide the option when the page was opened inside another app, such as an in-app browser from a text message or email link. Open the dashboard link in the phone's regular browser instead and try again. If it still does not work, contact support at info@posttomarket.com.

Reordering Your Queue Between Customers

Installing is the easy part. Using the queue well is a matter of a few clear rules.

A prioritization framework you can apply in 30 seconds

Rank the units in your queue with these questions in order:

1. Is a customer asking about it right now? It goes first.
2. Is it ready? Recon finished, photos taken, price confirmed. If not, it moves down.
3. Is it aged? Older units that have had less exposure deserve earlier slots.
4. Is it a priority for the manager? Follow the store's marketing priorities.
5. Does the segment fit the season? Move the units that match current demand up.

If a unit fails the readiness test, do not leave it near the top just because you like it. A queue that is full of units you cannot post yet is a queue that stalls.

A realistic between-customers routine

Consider a rep who has eight units in a queue and a customer who just left.

1. Open the dashboard from the home screen.
2. Check the queue for any unit that sold or went on hold; mark it sold and archive it, or remove it.
3. Move the unit the last customer asked about to the top, because similar buyers will ask next.
4. Move any recon-complete unit up.
5. Close the app and go back to the floor.

That is under two minutes, and the next time you sit at a computer, the first unit to post is the right one.

Reorder rules to agree with your manager

• Associates follow the order the manager assigned unless a customer inquiry changes priorities, and in that case they tell the manager.
• Sales reps own their order, but should keep ready units ahead of unready ones.
• Nobody reorders in a way that moves a unit off the queue without explaining why.

Phone Habits That Keep the Queue Honest

Tools are only as good as the habits around them. A few small routines make the mobile dashboard valuable.

Morning

• Open your queue before you pull your first customer folder.
• Reorder for the day's priorities.
• Remove anything that is no longer available.

Midday

• Spend two minutes between customers confirming the order.
• Mark units sold the moment a deal is signed, not at the end of the day. Inventory Hygiene: Why Sold Units Must Leave Marketplace the Same Day explains why this matters.

End of day

• Look at tomorrow's top three units and confirm they are ready.
• Flag anything that needs photos or recon.

Small mistakes to avoid

• Reordering while a customer is waiting. Finish the conversation first.
• Using your personal phone's browser while signed in as someone else.
• Leaving sold units in the queue because "it's just one."
• Treating the phone as the place to post. Posting runs through the Chrome extension on a computer, one vehicle at a time.

How PostToMarket Automates This

The mobile dashboard sits inside a larger workflow that is designed so the rep's effort goes to selling, not clerical work.

Queue tools that follow the rep

• A personal posting queue for each rep.
• Manager assignment to associate queues, and self-queuing for sales reps from shared inventory.
• A team queue view where managers can see and release any claim.
• A mobile dashboard that can be installed on a phone's home screen, with queue reordering between customers.

Posting that does not depend on the phone

• The Chrome extension posts to Facebook Marketplace, and also to your Facebook profile and groups, one vehicle at a time with human-like delays.
• Server-enforced daily post limits and delays keep pacing consistent whether the queue was reordered at 9 a.m. or 4 p.m.
• AI-generated titles and descriptions and the Facebook photo picker mean the unit at the top of the queue is ready to go when you reach a computer.

Accurate inventory

• Inventory statuses: draft, posting, posted, sold and failed.
• Mark as sold and archive from inventory or the queue.

PostToMarket is an independent tool, not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Meta, and no tool can guarantee that Facebook will distribute every listing. What it removes is the delay between a decision on the lot and the next post.
