ADESA Simulcast is based on technology from Velocicast, an online platform used by more than 150 independent auctions across North America.
With this transition, ADESA claims users will be able to join live sales faster, expand their bidding window to fit any size monitor, view an unlimited number of auction lanes, review condition reports with detailed photos, and scan on screen VIN barcodes with their preferred valuation app.
ADESA will rollout its simulcast service to its various locations in North America at separate points this year.
