ARLINGTON, Texas -

More tools to help members of the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association arrived last week.

Auction123, powered by ARI Network Services and a provider of responsive website software, inventory management and automated inventory listings solutions, joined with the association as NIADA’s latest National Member Benefit partner.

Officials highlighted Auction123’s websites follow Google’s recommendation to support responsive design, giving visitors the best web experience regardless of the device used, and are customized for each dealer’s unique needs. They offer unlimited custom pages to highlight inventory and promote dealership services, programs and financing.

Auction123 pointed out that it was among the first providers to offer integration to Facebook Marketplace for dealerships. It has worked with eBay since 2001 and is an eBay Preferred Partner. Its new Craigslist posting campaigns also can give dealers the ability to create unlimited hands-free initiatives to post the ads they want, when they want.

In addition, Auction123 can provide seamless integration to nearly 500 classified sites, and Carfax Advantage dealers using Auction123’s inventory management and marketing solutions can compare their pricing with the Carfax History-Based Values for vehicles in inventory.
