Compare V12Software vs. vAuto

Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is private-party vehicle acquisition software for franchise and independent auto dealerships. It helps dealers buy used cars directly from consumers in their local market, alongside trade-ins and instead of paying up at auction. VAN pulls for-sale-by-owner listings from 25+ online marketplaces into one dashboard, filters out dealer and scam listings and Do-Not-Call numbers, and adds VIN decoding and market valuation to each vehicle. Buyers call, text, and email sellers from inside VAN, and every conversation stays attached to the car it is about. On VAN Accelerate™, outreach and follow-up run automatically, KBB ICO leads get a text back within minutes, and AccuTrade leads get an automatic response. For dealers without a buyer on staff, VAN Managed Buyer™ supplies a full-time buyer who is hired, trained, and managed by VAN. The dealership still makes the final buy decision and signs the check. Every plan includes an Acquisition Coach™, and VAN works with vAuto, VINCUE, CARFAX, AutoCheck, and most dealer CRMs. VAN was founded in 2013 and serves dealers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Plans start at $1,695 per month. To see VAN on your market, call 855-952-4949.

Numa is the AI Customer Operations System built for dealerships that are tired of losing revenue and customers to broken processes. Every day, service calls go unanswered, advisors spend their time fielding "where's my car?" instead of selling work, and managers only find out about unhappy customers after the bad review is already posted. Numa fixes this at the infrastructure level that can follow-up with your customers automatically and give visibility into customer satisfaction to your advisors, reps, and managers. Operator answers and routes every inbound call so nothing goes dark. Status Updates proactively reaches out to customers so advisors stop drowning in callbacks. Voice AI books appointments automatically so customers never wait. LiveCSI flags heat cases in real time so managers can intervene before a CSI score takes the hit. Opportunities can proactively reach out on declined services, open recalls, and equity moments. And it all runs through one unified system: one inbox, one shared context. The result: recovered revenue, freed-up advisors, and a customer experience that increases CSI and builds loyalty.

POS platforms typically ask retail, restaurant, hotel, pharmacy, and gas station businesses to choose: adopt the vendor's ERP, or bolt on a separate integration yourself. LS Central works differently. It integrates natively with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and connects to SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics through CentralConnect, LS Retail's own managed integration. Businesses keep the ERP and payment infrastructure they already run. On top of that, LS Central combines POS, inventory, pricing and promotions, loyalty, eCommerce, workforce management, analytics, and financial operations in one system, running in over 110,000 locations across 157 countries. The modular design means businesses adopt only the capabilities they need and extend over time, with global templates for consistent processes and local rules for taxation, pricing, and compliance. AI-enhanced capabilities add demand forecasting, inventory optimization, promotion tracking, and operational reporting, with data synced in real time.
