Vehicle Acquisition and Trade-in Management for Dealerships
Manage appraisals, potential acquisitions and trade-ins before they become live stock.
DealershipCore helps dealerships move a vehicle from appraisal or trade-in opportunity into an approved acquisition and controlled stock record. The process stays connected to the customer, valuation context, costs and internal decision.
