OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill. -

Officials from vAuto announced on Tuesday that vAuto Genius Labs and the Whann Technology Group (WTG) completed an integration to help dealers acquire the wholesale used vehicles they need to fill inventory gaps.

The companies highlighted the integration can allow dealers to research and purchase vehicles more efficiently from independent auctions on the WTG Simulcast platform.

The WTG Simulcast platform encompasses 120 independent auctions across the country, providing wholesale buyers with remote access, remote bidding, streaming audio and video for each auction lane.

The integration can give wholesale buyers on the WTG Simulcast platform instant access to AuctionGenius’ “heads-up” display, which can seamlessly provide vehicle history reports, vehicle condition information and the latest valuation information to help buyers make informed purchase decisions.

“Strengthening our relationship with Whann Technology Group will empower our shared dealer clients to expand their reach into independent auctions and source the vehicles they need for their inventories more effectively,” said Randy Kobat, vice president and general manager at vAuto.

Through this partnership, dealers can efficiently research and bid on vehicles from some of the nation’s leading independent auction groups, including Alliance Auto Auction, Brasher’s Auto Auction and Dealer’s Auto Auction and locations such as Columbus Fair Auto Auction and Greensboro Auto Auction.

“We’re delighted to expand our integration with AuctionGenius to include all auctions that are part of our Simulcast network,” Whann Technology Group president Keith Whann said. “We both share the same goal of helping our dealer partners become more effective and profitable used vehicle retailers.”

In addition to WTG Simulcast’s auction network, AuctionGenius integrates with the nation’s largest wholesale auction marketplaces, including Manheim, ADESA, SmartAuction and other independent auctions.
