Margins are tight.

New-car gross is compressed, and wholesale auction prices are volatile. The dealers winning in 2026 are the ones sourcing quality used inventory cheaper than everyone else.

Trade-ins beat auctions.

Trade-in acquisition has lower cost, better condition visibility, and faster time-to-frontline than wholesale. But most dealers capture a fraction of the trade-in demand in their market.

The tools are still fragmented.

Valuation widgets don't know the market. Market dashboards don't capture leads. Nothing connects intelligence to execution. Until now.

Know Exactly What to Buy

Every lead generates an intelligence report that scores each vehicle on profit, turnover, demand, and condition. You see market pricing, competitor inventory, days-to-sell, and a buy/pass call — before you commit capital.

Bring the Right Vehicles to You

Layer 3 closes the loop. The platform identifies the vehicles your lot needs, finds the exact owners of those vehicles in your market, and runs targeted acquisition campaigns on Meta, Google, and CTV. Every lead lands back in your widget — so you can measure the full path from ad impression to acquired vehicle.
