Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN)
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.

SPC XL
XbarR, XbarS, Individuals, n, p, u, and np charts should be regularly updated after their initial creation, while also ensuring that any outliers are identified and displayed independently, so they do not interfere with the established control limits. Additional tools include histograms, capability analysis (Cpk), scatter plots with regression fitting, Pareto charts, dot plots, box plots, multiple regression analysis, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and calculations for sample sizes. Furthermore, it is essential to conduct measurement system analysis (Gage R&R) applicable to both quantitative and binomial data, along with creating cause and effect diagrams, main effects plots, cusum charts, product capability assessments, FMEA, and distribution calculators to enhance data-driven decision-making processes. Each of these analytical methods contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the data and its implications for quality control and improvement initiatives.

MESURgauge
MESUR®gauge and MESUR®gauge Plus enhance the capabilities of instruments used for measuring force and torque, as well as test stands. Both software applications allow users to capture and visualize data in graphical formats, showcasing relationships between load and time, or load, travel, and time. MESUR®gauge Plus further enriches this experience by enabling the control of Mark-10 motorized test stands, effectively synchronizing motion control with data collection. The software packages include an array of analytical tools for evaluating test outcomes, featuring statistical analyses, easy data export to Microsoft Excel, customizable reporting options, and pass/fail indicators, among others. Users can tailor their test configurations, which can be saved for future use, and set specific conditions for starting and stopping tests based on load, time, distance, or breakage of samples. Moreover, the programs boast a sizable display for real-time monitoring of load and travel metrics, along with a utility that allows for the configuration of select Mark-10 gauges directly from a computer. These features facilitate a more efficient and user-friendly testing environment, making it easier to conduct thorough analyses.
