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.

Backlist
Backlist is an innovative software solution designed for car dealers to acquire vehicles from private sellers in real time. It monitors platforms such as Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Autotrader, Cars.com, and eBay, efficiently filtering out duplicate listings and those disguised by dealers, while promptly notifying buyers when a private seller lists a vehicle that fits their specified criteria, including make, model, year, price, mileage, and location. Each listing is evaluated against both wholesale and retail market values, providing buyers with essential margin information prior to making any calls. The integrated CRM system meticulously tracks every lead from initial outreach to final sale, incorporating features like team pipelines, seller phone detection, and SMS/email communication tools. Backlist is favored by independent dealers, franchise used-car departments, multi-rooftop groups, and wholesalers as a means to secure inventory directly from owners instead of relying on auctions. The pricing is flexible with month-to-month options starting at $775, without requiring an annual commitment, plus a complimentary trial period. Users can access the service through a web dashboard as well as an iOS application, ensuring convenience and efficiency in their vehicle acquisition process.

PATINA
PATINA serves as the comprehensive operating system for managing the entire lifecycle of a product.
By assigning a persistent digital identity to each physical item, we transform the necessity of adhering to Digital Product Passport regulations into a lucrative opportunity.
In contrast to traditional, unchanging passports, PATINA ensures that products remain engaged post-sale, providing avenues for:
- Service: care, repair, resale, and take-back initiatives
- Loyalty: exclusive content, events, and rewards
- Commerce: new services and enhanced revenue streams
- Trust: verification through provenance, certifications, and warranties
- Compliance: tracking materials, origins, ownership, and lifecycle stages
- Intelligence: leveraging product-level data for automated actions
Every product already in existence becomes a valuable commercial asset, enabling brands to maintain customer relationships well beyond the initial sale while unlocking new revenue streams, enhancing customer retention, and facilitating circular services alongside first-party data collection.
Consumers benefit by receiving greater value from their possessions, along with compelling incentives to keep, repair, and recirculate them.
Our system seamlessly integrates with existing ERP, CRM, and PLM systems, eliminating the need for re-platforming.
Ultimately, we go beyond mere compliance; we empower brands to generate revenue through their sustainable practices.
