OPENLANE remarkets approximately 400,000 used vehicles per year and sells to a network of more than 25,000 registered dealers throughout North America. RDN processes more than 3.5 million recovery assignments per year, with 90 percent of all recovery companies using RDN software for managing assignments. The companies previously announced a technology integration partnership in March of this year.
