It is empowered by technology that can reduce waste and maximize profits.
The automotive industry is growing faster than you’d expect. Think of the way your operations ran in the past. Your used car manager probably spent way too much time on manual tasks. The result of which led to wasteful spending and lost hours. Why throw away valuable time on these time-consuming duties when you can leverage solutions to do it for you?

With the right data, you can quickly identify which vehicles will play the biggest part in your success. But take it one step further. Through programmatic buying, dealers can set up a system where desired inventory is instantly identified, bid on, and secured without lifting a finger or heading to a traditional auction. This puts your lot at a competitive advantage as you not only have more available vehicles than other stores, but your inventory will be exactly the make and model that consumers are shopping for.

So, you need to price competitively while also holding more gross on each transaction. Through advanced solutions and technologies, you gain the ability to value the vehicle at the correct amount. In doing this, you add a layer of transparency that provides consumers with the opportunity to shop with confidence. You aren’t ripping them off. Couple quality pricing methods with how you write your ads and market your inventory, and you’ll create a next-level customer experience that others will want to imitate.
When you have the right inventory identified by AI and machine learning algorithms, you can be assured that you’ll sell faster. Turn times will always be a metric to measure your success. You can’t have vehicles sitting around waiting to be scooped up. Be confident in knowing that whatever you secure, whether it be through auction, trade-in, or consumer acquisition, will perform at a high level. The industry is evolving. And, while it is volatile today, tomorrow might bring something new. It’s because of this that you need to stock the right inventory that can move in the least amount of time.
