Description
The Manheim platform offers vehicle portfolio owners a straightforward and transparent solution for managing every facet of the vehicle lifecycle. This adaptable platform is modular and boasts advanced data integration features, allowing it to be tailored to the specific requirements of commercial consignors, covering areas such as in-service tracking, pre-termination workflows, vehicle grounding, pricing strategies, remarketing, logistics, and settlement processes. With a range of top-tier, integrated sister companies under the Cox Automotive umbrella, Manheim delivers unparalleled access to the most effective inventory solutions available. Enhanced remarketing decisions, driven by a comprehensive portfolio overview, can lead to smarter optimizations for inventory channels and pricing strategies. By facilitating the sale of returned vehicles to grounding dealers, the platform ensures a quicker remarketing process, which in turn minimizes depreciation and reduces capital costs. Additionally, the system allows for tracking vehicles from their inbound journey right up to their receipt at auction, ensuring a seamless transition throughout the entire process. This comprehensive management capability ultimately supports better decision-making and operational efficiency for vehicle portfolio owners.
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.
