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.

Vaultion
Vaultion addresses a fundamental issue in transactions between unfamiliar parties: the need for one party to take the initial risk. To eliminate this uncertainty, Vaultion utilizes a secure smart contract that holds the payment, ensuring it is only released when all agreed-upon conditions are satisfied.
The process is straightforward: the buyer deposits funds into an escrow using a stablecoin—options include USDC, USDT, DAI, or PYUSD—after which the seller fulfills their part of the agreement. Once the buyer confirms receipt, the payment is released. In the event of a disagreement, the funds remain secure while an independent arbitrator intervenes to make a decision. This arbitrator can either be Kleros, a decentralized court composed of randomly selected jurors, or a human reviewer supported by Vaultion, whose decision is subject to a challenge window before any funds are transferred. Additionally, a guardian with freeze-only authority can halt any dubious ruling without the ability to redirect the funds, ensuring a fair and transparent resolution process. This innovative approach fosters trust and security in transactions that might otherwise be fraught with risk.
