The 'feed' is probably several different things.
New car dealerships have a 'pipeline' that comes from the manufacturer, it shows order status, build status at the plant, shipping status, railhead status and delivery status for all new car inventory. When a vehicle ships from the factory the invoice and the MSO are sent to the dealership, this arrives before the actual vehicle allowing the internal DB at the dealership be updated by the 'title clerk' and have the car 'stocked in' when it comes off the transport truck. This is the 'incoming inventory' list
Used car inventory is entered into the dealer database by a back office clerk when the vehicles are traded for or when the paperwork comes from the auction that the used car buyer or used car manager attended.
