Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is vehicle acquisition software that helps franchise and independent dealers buy used cars directly from private sellers in their market, beyond trade-ins and the auction lane.
The platform pulls for-sale-by-owner listings from 25+ online marketplaces into one dashboard, with VIN decoding, market valuation, automated outreach, and seller conversation tracking. VAN works with vAuto, CARFAX, Experian AutoCheck, and most dealer CRMs, and runs inside VINCUE Buy Center Pro as VAN Mode. On VAN Accelerate™, it replies automatically to KBB ICO and AccuTrade leads.
For dealers who want private-party inventory without hiring and managing a buyer themselves, VAN Managed Buyer™ provides a full-time buyer, hired and managed by VAN. Every plan includes an Acquisition Coach™.
Founded in 2013, VAN serves dealers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Plans start at $1,695 per month. To see VAN on your market, call 855-952-4949.

Since 2012, AuctionMethod has provided white-label auction software and custom auction software development for the auction industry. Based in Massachusetts, serving the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. AuctionMethod serves auctioneers, estate liquidators, farm and heavy equipment, industrial, salvage and recycling, non-profit, corporations, retail liquidators, auto/car dealers, real estate, arts and collectibles, and single-use auction businesses.
AuctionMethod is the winner of the SourceForge Spring 2026 Top Performer Award in Auction Software, and is rated 4.9/5 on Capterra and SourceForge. AuctionMethod's model includes no commissions, no per-lot fees, no platform skim, and no contract, so clients keep the revenue from every sale instead of splitting it with the platform. Clients also keep 100% ownership of their bidder lists, seller lists, item data, images, and transaction history on a fully white-label auction website rather than a shared marketplace listing.
The platform covers catalog and lot management, consignor setup, bidder registration, invoicing, payment processing, tax handling, and reporting in one system. Auction event types include timed online auctions, simulcast auctions, blind timed auctions, catalog-only, fixed-price, and perpetual events. AuctionMethod includes a mobile app for iOS and Android and integrates with Fiserv, Stripe, Authorize.net, and more.
Hosted on AWS with separate client databases, AuctionMethod specializes in real-time speed for live, rapid-fire simulcast auctions, where latency is critical and must stay under one second so online bidders do not miss the auctioneer's hammer, and the platform is fully hosted with daily backups, auto-scaling for high traffic, and security updates included, with 100% uptime tracked on a public status page.
For operations whose workflows fall outside the standard product, AuctionMethod also builds custom auction software development solutions, a dedicated codebase built around a client's specific processes, quoted at a fixed rate. AuctionMethod's pricing starts at $100/mo with a $250 one-time setup charge, and is published publicly. AuctionMethod offers a 30-day free trial, no credit card required.

KYC Scoring
KYC Scoring is an online platform that helps lending companies, from small-time lenders to banks, evaluate the financial risk associated with specific clients. You could think of us as an intermediary between lenders, allowing them to share financial data which enables more accurate KYC verification. Why is this collaboration important? For example, a client makes a loan application who seems low risk based on standard credit checks and previous financial interactions. But when carrying out a KYC check on our system, you see that this applicant has multiple outstanding debts and rejected applications at other lending companies. This information will put you in a better position to make approval decisions, as well as set loan terms, which are in the best interests of your business. Standard credit databases also take up to a week to update with new financial data, including outstanding debts. This could result in a loan being approved that may have been rejected with access to live data
