Just as vAuto, Dealertrack and others have distinguished themselves in recent years by assisting franchise dealerships with their new car operations, IVV 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, it will make handling trades-ins both efficient, effortless, and financially rewarding. Ultimately, our primary objective is to develop and integrate today’s technological advances and push them directly to your bottom line. All without adding any additional headcount or overhead to your store.

With a simple push, point, click of a button, the StreamLane process helps you better coordinate and manage your inventory to the level you choose, while maximizing the return on every vehicle you send to wholesale. The design and engineering of IVV StreamLane has taken well over three years and 5,000 plus hours of meticulous development. Created with simplicity and efficiency in mind, your dealership’s used car inventory will harmlessly interface with Streamlane through a simple portal to your DMS. Streamlane will only have access to those units you wish to send to wholesale.  Procedurally, all you need to do is just tag the vehicle for wholesale with the StreamLane application, and the automated process begins.

When you run your vehicles through StreamLane you get immediate access to all the benefits that well established Manheim auction customers receive; premium lane position and run times, your name prominently featured on the auction block, Manheim generated Condition Reports, and our loyal base of buyers established over 20+ years. Moreover, our total exposure package will bring in fresh bidders and buyers both in-lane and on-line from across the country. All buying with more confidence and comfort because they can trust the seller representing your vehicles on the auction block. In this business, trust means everything.

In an industry flooded with 3rd party remarketers, IVV StreamLane is 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”.

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. Best of all, all reconditioning work is time stamped and performed at internal wholesale 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. The IVV StreamLane system is not simply predicated on mileage or some other subjective component to determine whether a given vehicle is a suitable candidate for 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 their decision making 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.

It is important to note, you will have no money out of pocket for any “SMART RECON”. IVV will pay all expenses up front. After your vehicle sells, your store will receive a detailed breakdown of all 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 work closely with the auction to resolve more than half of the limited number of arbitrations that actually occur. As a result, StreamLane gives you a high degree of touch, just like you had a key pointed employee working for you full time at the auction. IVV Technology powers StreamLane, and makes it the dynamic inventory management system your managers will love to use. IVV 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 your lane at the auction.

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.
