Just as vAuto, Dealertrack and others have distinguished themselves in recent years by assisting franchise dealerships with their new car operations, IVV’s StreamLane will distinguish itself as the industry standard for a state-of-the-art automotive software solution to assist dealers with their wholesale inventories. Specifically, StreamLane will make handling trades-ins both efficient, effortless, and financially rewarding.

With a simple push, point, click of a button, StreamLane helps you better coordinate, manage, and maximize the return on the vehicles you take in trade. The design and engineering of IVV’s StreamLane has taken over three years of meticulous development. Created with simplicity and efficiency in mind, your dealership’s used car inventory will link to the IVV App through your stores DMS system. Procedurally, all you need to do is just tag the vehicle for wholesale within the StreamLane application, and the automated process begins.

When you run your vehicles through StreamLane, you receive immediate access to all the benefits that well established Manheim auction customers receive. Your name is prominently featured on the auction block with Manheim generated Condition Reports and StreamLane’s high resolution digital photos and video. This provides the most complete access to potential bidders and simulcast buyers both in lane and on line.

It is important to note, you will have no money out of pocket for any “SMART RECON”. StreamLane will pay all expenses up front. After your vehicle sells, your store will receive a detailed breakdown of services and charges. You will receive a net check directly from Manheim for the sale price of the vehicle, minus the sale fee, and any “SMART RECON” items that were addressed and approved by you prior to sale. Additionally, you will be provided a cap sheet for your business office, along with a multitude of reports at your disposal so you can close out the deal and move on. All of this allows your team members to get back into the business of focusing on retail, while StreamLane maximizes your return on wholesale.

With StreamLane, it’s a simple flat fee structure, and we promise to never pile on the miscellaneous fees. NO ARBITRATION FEES, NO NO-SALE FEES, NO REGISTRATION FEES, NO EXTRA FEES OF ANY KIND…PERIOD. You also receive on the block representation, on the lot supervision, and aftersale arbitration assistance if it becomes necessary. Historically, StreamLane has been able to resolve over 50% of arbitration issues. StreamLane gives you a high degree of touch, just like you had a key pointed employee working full time for you at the auction.

How does IVV’s StreamLane do it?

First of all, we are not just another simple disposal service. We individually analyze each vehicle and look to identify only those reconditioning items that will maximize your return. We call this type of reconditioning “SMART RECON”.

IVV’s technology core powers StreamLane, and makes it the dynamic inventory management system your managers will love to use. IVV’s StreamLane integrates seamlessly and harmlessly with your dealership’s DMS system to streamline the selling of your trade-ins in ways most people haven’t even considered yet. Ironically, it not only makes the process easy for your store, it also makes it easier for those who are going to buy your vehicles.

From the comfort of your own home, office, or smartphone, you can click the StreamLane button within the IVV application for the vehicles you wish to send to wholesale. Once the unit is clear, a transporter is alerted via text message to come and pick up your vehicle. Every action is time stamped and recorded should there ever be a question about the efficiency and transparency of the process. Clearing your lot and creating more space has never been this easy. It is as simple as that.

Once the vehicle is received at our marshalling facility we inspect the unit to determine if any “SMART RECON” opportunities exist to either enhance vehicle appeal, improve overall value, or boost the condition report grade. We know how the condition report point system impacts vehicle grade, and with this in mind, we make “SMART RECON” recommendations where it makes good business sense. Also, when StreamLane provides you a “SMART RECON” quote for your approval, IVV’s exclusive Approximator will calculate a probable ROI for the amount of the repair suggested. Imagine if you spent $200 in “SMART RECON” and got a 350% return on your investment, and a full point uplift on your Manheim condition report grade. As you can see, it makes good sense to your bottom line. Depending on the level of control you desire, you can approve the work with a simple, push, point, click of a button. Furthermore, all reconditioning work is time stamped and performed at internal rate with no markup whatsoever to your store.

Having said this, there are some exceptions to the rule. Many times, less recon simply means more to your bottom line. IVV’s StreamLane system is not simply predicated on mileage or some other subjective component to determine the value of reconditioning. With IVV, practical decisions are made on your behalf based on 60+ years of proven auction experience. We know what buyers are looking for in terms of value added repairs, and we know the types of reconditioning that impact they’re decisioning as it relates to sale price. The objective is to maximize your return on every vehicle, and get both of us paid as quickly as possible.

Why do buyers prefer to buy from IVV StreamLane

Buyers are drawn to IVV StreamLane because we exclusively represent New Car Trades-In’s from franchise dealers. Moreover, as vehicles roll through the auction on their way to be sold, each unit features our unique before and after one page fact sheet that we attach to the rear glass showing a dynamic photo representation of the damage that existed prior to the completion of any “SMART RECON”. This helps buyers to do a better job of previewing potential purchases, bid with confidence, and turn inventory more quickly which translates into better ROI for you and them. This is an IVV StreamLane exclusive.

Buyers can go to IVVSTREAMLANE.COM and preview upcoming sale inventory, and can share this with their managers and potential retail customers. In many instances, they will have your car sold before the auction even begins, which means more aggressive bidding on your vehicles and more money for you.

It is also important to note that we have a long reputation for being honest, fair, considerate, and consistent in our ethical approach to the automotive industry. When you process your trade-ins through StreamLane, you’re being given an opportunity to run your vehicles at an auction already known for getting “All the Money.” When you combine that opportunity with the chance to run your vehicles in an established lane, with an established seller, with a trustworthy reputation, and throw in access to a worldwide internet of simulcast buyers, we’re now talking “Crazy Money.”

IVV has a proven track record of selling over 90% of the vehicles they offer. Only the best auctioneers sell our vehicles, and we are selling at an unheard of rate of 125% of MMR. Talk about results…..What this means to you is that you will receive the benefit of an already established base of loyal bidding buyers that have been developed over time on your behalf. Its long running, repeatable, and regularly executed week after week, and we can do the same thing for you.
