That’s why we introduced Acquire, a comprehensive package that’s designed to streamline vehicle acquisition, making it easier than ever for our AutoGate users to find the right cars at the right price.
Acquire brings together enhanced AutoGate features, offering powerful tools to boost your inventory management and acquisition strategies. Whether you’re actively sourcing new stock or managing vehicle appraisals, Acquire delivers everything you need right at your fingertips.
The Acquire journey starts with its “Find Opportunities” feature, a game-changing tool that transforms how dealers search for cars across the carsales platform. This feature makes it simple to filter and discover the best acquisition opportunities based on LiveMarket’s real-time market data, all conveniently housed within the familiar AutoGate environment.
Now, all Acquire subscribers can access advanced vehicle appraisal tools and manage acquisitions in one place. This ensures an integrated, streamlined workflow and further enhance the LiveMarket valuation features such uploading photos, managing spend, conditions, analytics and more.
Here’s a closer look at the standout features within Acquire:
Find Opportunities: Use advanced filters powered by LiveMarket data and listing performance metrics to easily search over 220,000 cars listed on carsales.com.au. This feature allows dealers to connect with sellers and source inventory directly within AutoGate, helping them acquire the best stock faster and more efficiently.
Real-Time Market Data: Acquire leverages LiveMarket data alongside each listing, giving you key insights on vehicle performance and pricing trends. With this information, dealers can make confident buying decisions based on current market conditions.
Vehicle Inspections: Conduct on-the-go appraisals via the AutoGate app or request remote inspections from customers. With Rego ID lookup, Acquire simplifies the appraisal process, enabling dealers to get a comprehensive view of the vehicles they’re interested in simply by entering the registration of the vehicle, ensuring that you are accurately appraising the correct data.
Manage Acquisitions: Track and manage all your acquisition opportunities in one place, including the those found using the Find Opportunities feature. With integrated tools such as customer data management, status updates, and appraisal reports, dealers can stay organised and efficient throughout the acquisition process. Additionally, API integrations are available to dealers with partnering third-party systems and DMS providers, meaning that you can seamlessly integrate appraisal data between AutoGate to your own systems.
Analytics Dashboard: Gain valuable insights into your acquisition performance with easy-to-use analytics. The dashboard provides a visual overview of key metrics and team performance, helping you track trends and adjust your strategies to optimise outcomes.
