Best Automotive Data Software

Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) turns private-seller listing data into vehicles a dealership can buy. VAN collects for-sale-by-owner listings from 25+ online marketplaces, removes dealer posts, scam listings, and Do-Not-Call numbers, decodes each VIN, and layers in live market valuation so buyers know which cars are worth a call. CARFAX and AutoCheck reports run inside VAN, and one click pushes a vehicle into vAuto for your manager's appraisal. VAN PACE™ reporting tracks appointments, showings, acquisitions, and buyer activity, so the used car manager can see which step is stalling. Buyers work each car from the same screen where its data lands. VAN serves dealers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.

AutoCheck receives reported accident data in weeks, rather than months after an accident occurs, to ensure the highest level of reporting accuracy. The AutoCheck Elite® program offers many benefits from unlimited vehicle history reporting to additional data insights into your market, competition, and consumer preferences.
