DMS · Soleara → ScoutRV
ScoutRV and Soleara
Soleara exports a pipe-delimited file. Scout reads it as-is and maps the columns to platform fields through the DMS configuration screen.
How it works
- Inventory flows from your DMS into Scout automatically on a schedule — no exports, no spreadsheets, no re-keying.
- Units arrive with pricing, status, photos and specifications, and changes made in the DMS appear on the site without anyone touching the website.
- Feed health is monitored. If your DMS stops sending, an automated check catches it within hours rather than when a customer calls about a unit you sold last week — a failure mode most RV dealers have experienced at least once.
- The reader makes no assumption about column names. Every column in the file is exposed positionally and then named in configuration, which is what lets an export with no header row — or a header row that changes — still be mapped reliably.
- Conditional mappings are supported, so a field whose meaning depends on another column can be resolved without pre-processing the file.
- Staleness is judged on the date of the feed file itself, not on whether the nightly sync ran. A provider that keeps re-serving the same file makes the sync look healthy while your inventory quietly freezes; that is the case the check is built to catch, and anything over 48 hours raises an alert.

Questions
Soleara questions
Our export has no header row. Does that matter?+
No. Columns are read by position and named in configuration, so a header row is convenience rather than a requirement.
Can one column mean different things depending on another?+
Yes. Conditional mappings handle that case without anyone pre-processing the file.
