Is Your Auto Auction Software Ready to Meet the Market Challenges In the Next 6 Months?
Recently, we have asked dealers what are their motivating factors to come to an auction? What drives them to choose one auction over another?
Once the feedback was collected, we analyzed and sorted it out. Below, you can see the results listed in descending order:
- Technology
- Convenience
- Location
- Low fees
- Selection
- Free Shipping
The vast majority of dealers named car auction software a number one factor that influenced their choice. In 2020, when dealers are gravitating towards auctions with advanced technology, even major players are not immune to the risk of being left behind if they can't offer the convenience, ease of use, and confidence in buying that dealers demand.
Auction management software is disrupting the auto remarketing industry in many ways. For example, more than 40% of dealers are already using their smartphones to remotely participate in the sale events from the comforts of their dealerships or homes and avoid standing in lanes for hours losing valuable time.
Among the dealers we surveyed, 77% want to be able to automate the routine tasks such as looking for vehicles, setting proxies, evaluating the vehicle condition, etc. A sizable 68% of those dealers are looking for an auction that can provide comprehensive online buying and selling that will allow them to join live sale events from everywhere, represent their vehicles remotely, and communicate with other buyers and sellers in a secure digital environment.
In the light of these findings, it’s safe to say that embracing cutting-edge auto auction management software can play a pivotal role in your business development and the profit of your auction.
