Manheim highlighted on Monday that dealers seeking tools to help them leverage the “mountain” of available data in the buy/sell process are reporting increased efficiency and improved in-lane sales with Manheim’s Seller Dashboard.

The company noted its clients are rapidly adopting the online tool — released this spring — that can deliver real-time sales statistics and historical data that help sellers make educated decisions before and during a sale, remotely and on the block.

To date, more than 2,000 clients have registered to use Seller Dashboard. This tool is growing in popularity with clients, as more than 680 run lists have been printed and some 12,046 floor prices have been updated across all Manheim locations.

“Manheim’s digital offerings are focused on helping our dealers, sellers and buyers, develop more economical operations expand their buying radius, increase vehicle access and mitigate risk,” said Derek Hansen, vice president of Manheim’s Digital Inventory Solutions. “Seller Dashboard is a key tool to help drive seller success.”

James Bingham with Hendrick Automotive mentioned, “We are now making better decisions based on real-time information.”

And Luben Mitevski of VW Credit estimated that the digital service saves him 30 to 40 percent of his time.

“It’s exactly what we need to maintain our momentum during a sale, and keep a few steps ahead of everyone else,” Mitevski said.

 Offered at no additional cost to Manheim clients, Seller Dashboard can allow dealers to:

• Access a comprehensive snapshot of all their registered vehicles across Manheim channels

• Acquire current vehicle information such as national and regional MMR, floor, age days and times run

• Get key stats including gross and percentage sales, total run, sold, IF sales, no sales and floor variance

• Obtain an auction run list and block summary

• View and update floor pricing

• Generate, print and export customized reports that can be shared with others

“The accurate and timely information available from Seller Dashboard equips our clients with a clear picture of how their current sale inventory is performing,” Hansen said. “This value-added offering enables sellers to be smarter negotiators and decision makers, regardless if they are on site or across the country.”

To access Seller Dashboard, clients log in at manheim.com, click on the “Sell” dropdown menu and select Seller Dashboard. The application is optimized for desktop and laptop computers, tablets and smartphones, giving dealers anytime, anywhere access to vital information.

Once connected, Manheim clients can identify their account and choose a view of the block or the pre-sale run list. The block view can present live sales performance stats and details about the vehicle currently on the block. The run list view can produce a block summary to support pre-sale work and post-sale review.
