About The Factory
The Factory is a leading automotive retail dealer based out of Florida utilizing brick-and-Mortar auction houses to sell their inventory of vehicles.
The Challenge
In the current system, dealers transport their vehicles to a local auction house, pay an inspection fee, get run numbers and hope for a buyer to be present at the auction house or online at the moment when their cars runs through the block. If a vehicle does not sell, the dealer pays a no sale fee, and has to decide whether to give it another shot, or to truck it back to the dealership. If the vehicle sells, the buyer pays a percentage of the selling price as fee. This was leading to
- Dependency on auction houses for sales
- Too much manual process in the sales cycle
- Limitations in connecting with the real buyers
