Acquisition & pricing

Margin is decided when you buy, not when you discount.

By the time a car is ninety days old, the decisions that cost you money were made months earlier, at the auction, at the inspection, at the first price. This category is about those decisions.

One car's cost ladder as this category's modules build it: the candidate as advertised, the cost once transport and VAT are added, the preparation the inspection found, the price the comparables supported, and the margin when it sold. Sample data, not a vehicle record; the rows are positions in a sequence, not a measured result.

Best fit
Buyers · Used-car managers · Principals or CFOs
Operational job
Decide which vehicles to buy, how to value and prepare them, and when to sell or remarket, on one shared vehicle record.
What you get
Vehicle selections, valuations and stock decisions supported by shared evidence.

The workflow

Every vehicle enters stock with a defensible decision

Six decisions on one vehicle. Each one narrows what the next can do, which is why they belong on the same record.

Compare candidates on what they will really cost

Trade-in, auction and cross-border supply are judged the same way, transport, VAT treatment and predicted preparation added before anyone bids.

By role

Three people, three different wins

Buying, pricing and reporting are the same data seen from three distances.

Buyer

Bids against a landed number rather than a hunch, and can explain afterwards why a car was worth it.

Used-car manager

Starts the day with nine decisions instead of a dashboard, and sees the effect of yesterday's re-prices.

Principal or CFO

Sees margin per unit and stock ageing per site without asking anyone to prepare a report.

Platform connections
