Vehicle auction software built for how cars actually sell.
Dealer, fleet, salvage, and wholesale vehicle auctions on a branded platform you own — with VIN decode, condition reports, run lists, simulcast lanes, and dealer-only access at the core.
Selling vehicles is unlike selling almost anything else. A unit lives or dies on its VIN, odometer, title status, and announced damage — and your buyers are professionals who price a car in seconds and expect arbitration when the announcements are wrong. Generic auction tools force you to bolt that reality on afterward. Unovance builds it in.
Whether you move dealer trade-ins, off-lease fleet returns, repossessions, or salvage, you can publish run lists, decode VINs into clean catalog entries, attach structured condition grades, and run synchronized timed or simulcast lanes that registered dealers work side by side. Gated, dealer-only access keeps wholesale channels clean while consignors keep visibility into their units.
The deeper advantage is ownership. Instead of renting a marketplace audience and surrendering your buyer data, you operate a branded platform where the dealer accounts, bid history, arbitration record, and settlement flow all belong to you — across all 22 auction formats.
What automotive sellers need on sale day.
VIN decode & condition grading
Decode the VIN to auto-populate year, make, model, and trim, then attach announced damage, frame status, odometer, and a structured condition grade buyers trust.
Run lists & timed lanes
Build and publish run lists ahead of sale day, then run synchronized timed or simulcast lanes so registered dealers can work multiple lanes without missing a unit.
Dealer-only & gated access
Restrict bidding to verified, licensed dealers with document checks, while fleet and salvage consignors keep wholesale and retail channels cleanly separated.
Arbitration & settlement built in
Track announcements, arbitration windows, and disputes against each VIN, then move straight to invoicing, floor-plan handling, and settlement without re-keying.
Frequently asked questions
Does the platform handle VIN data and condition reports?+
Yes. Enter or scan a VIN and the platform decodes year, make, model, and trim, then lets you attach photos, announced damage, frame and title status, odometer readings, and a structured condition grade so dealers bid on the same facts you do.
Can I keep my auctions dealer-only?+
Yes. You can gate registration to verified, licensed dealers with document and license checks, and segment wholesale, fleet, and salvage channels so the right buyers see the right inventory while the public is kept out.
Which formats work best for selling vehicles?+
Most automotive sellers run timed online and simulcast lanes for volume, with sealed-bid or buy-now options for specialty and salvage units. All sit among the 22 formats on the Unovance platform, so you can match the format to the inventory.
Do I own my dealer relationships and bidder data?+
Yes. Unlike renting space on a marketplace, you run a branded platform where the dealer accounts, bid history, and buyer relationships belong to you — not to a third-party audience you have to keep paying for.
