Manheim Logistics and DHL Supply Chain have formed an exclusive collaboration to develop a more holistic transportation management system that aims to give clients and carriers the most efficient and transparent transportation experience.
KAR Auction Services, Inc. has signed a definitive agreement to acquire BacklotCars Inc., an app and web-based dealer-to-dealer wholesale platform featuring a 24/7 “bid-ask” marketplace and comprehensive vehicle inspections performed by automobile mechanics.
Manheim expanded its Digital Block sales, adding seven more locations with in-lane bidding with a live auctioneer; however, vehicles are only displayed on screens and never travel down physical lanes.
Manheim has released three new enhancements to its digital marketplace by adding significantly more images on vehicles checked in at a physical location; the opportunity to more easily transact at below-floor prices; and an additional sale format.
Black Book has integrated its value data into One Auction View, a subscription-based service that provides dealers access to online wholesale auctions in a simplified, aggregated view.
Auto Auction Services Corp. (AutoIMS) announced a new mobile application that is designed to offer users vital data and features of the company’s inventory management system in the palms of their hands.
Privacy4Cars and AutoIMS are providing visibility to consignors and auctions on the removal of non-public personal information previous owners and drivers may have left in consigned vehicles’ on-board systems, including previous destinations, home address, garage door codes, contact lists, call logs, text messages, device identifiers, and more.
KAR Global launched a new set of interactive dashboards that display retail and wholesale trends from across the remarketing ecosystem.
Xcira, a digital auction technology provider, has issued a set of commitments to its partners during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that auction and asset owners are best equipped to use their technology.
Companies such as Manheim and ADESA have invested time and money to bolster the digital side of their business to meet the demands of this growing field, and so have fleet management companies.
Online remarketing has been a growing trend for the past few years and it promises to continue. As more remarketers are selling and buying wholesale vehicles online, some new trends have emerged.
Manheim has updated its Manheim.com website with a new look and faster access to favorite tools, new standards for vehicle information across channels, and an enhanced Simulcast experience.
Manheim is facilitating dealer-to-dealer sales through Express Direct, a new offering that is accessed through the Manheim Express app.
Along with audio/video, Manheim has added 360 interior imaging to Manheim Express, Manheim.com, and OVE users.
Dealers who purchase a vehicle on Manheim Express are now able to order Ready Logistics’ transportation services directly through the app.
