Description
Ikon was established by dealers with the aim of catering to the needs of fellow dealers. After an extensive search for an effective inventory management and monitoring solution, we decided to create one ourselves. The Ikon platform offers a user-friendly, all-encompassing suite of applications and services available to you without any initial costs. We take care of everything: supplying the hardware, providing training, and offering dedicated support resources. Additionally, we implement intelligent marketing strategies that have consistently been shown to enhance service revenue and boost customer loyalty. Our commitment to your success is genuine, as we only earn revenue when you do, specifically after a vehicle has been sold. With remarkable precision, you can swiftly identify the exact vehicle needed by your customer, whether it is on your premises or not. This eliminates the risk of lost time or sales due to vehicles being inaccessible or unavailable. If you need vehicle details such as average MPG, CarFax reports, and crash test ratings, or if you're simply searching your inventory, the Dealer Toolbox empowers you to accomplish all of this using your mobile device, regardless of your location. By streamlining these processes, we ensure that you can focus on what truly matters—growing your business.
Description
Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is an automotive software platform built to help car dealerships acquire high-quality used vehicles directly from private sellers—without relying on auctions. As wholesale prices rise and vehicle availability tightens, VAN empowers dealers with tools to source inventory faster, more profitably, and with greater control.
VAN aggregates local FSBO (for-sale-by-owner) listings, applies real-time market data to assess profitability, and automates communication with sellers at scale. Buyers can manage leads, track seller conversations, and streamline acquisition workflows through an intuitive CRM-style dashboard designed specifically for dealership teams.
For dealers who don’t have dedicated acquisition staff, VAN offers a Managed Buyer program, pairing stores with expert buyers who actively source, engage, and negotiate with private sellers on their behalf—saving time and boosting acquisition volume without internal hiring.
VAN is trusted by hundreds of dealerships across North America—from independent rooftops to franchise groups—looking to beat Carvana and CarMax at their own game. It's the smarter way to buy cars.
