THE OPPORTUNITY

A more consistent way to buy the right used cars.

Buyer teams work through large stock lists and market exports, often finding the strongest deals too late or using inconsistent assumptions.

What makes it differentFast, explainable selection criteria that help an experienced buyer focus their next judgement.
  • OneLink and Auto Trader CSV matching
  • Rule-based buying shortlist
  • Margin assumptions and tracked decisions
HOW IT WORKS

From data to
better decisions.

A practical journey shaped around how dealership teams actually work. The final deployment is tailored to the systems and permissions available.

01

Upload the market snapshot

Import your available stock list alongside a dealer-supplied Auto Trader CSV and choose the snapshot date.

02

Match and review vehicles

Combine records by registration, inspect input quality and segment by brand, fuel, age and grade.

03

Apply screening rules

Estimate selling prices, costs and possible margins using clear business assumptions, then flag qualifying and quick-sale candidates.

04

Build a buyer picklist

Review suggested buying opportunities, reject or approve candidates and record the reason.

05

Learn from transactions

Track purchase and sale outcomes against the original indicative numbers; compare price changes between uploads.

WHAT WE WOULD MEASURE

Commercially useful.
Not just clever.

  • Quality of shortlisted vehicles and accepted buys
  • Estimated versus recorded preparation/margin outcomes
  • Buying-team consistency and time spent screening exports
CURRENT AVAILABILITY

Working application

A working, authenticated app with stored snapshots and buying workflows. Its Auto Trader information is imported from customer-supplied exports; there is no verified direct Auto Trader API or live market feed. Pricing suggestions are rules-based estimates, not AI valuations.

Access and customer-specific integrations are discussed individually. We do not promise results before measuring them.
