Dealer credentialing services provider AuctionACCESS describes itself as “a dealer’s key to the wholesale marketplace.”

Now, AuctionACCESS says it is strengthening its commitment to independent dealers through a new alliance with the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association. AuctionACCESS is now a Bronze-level national corporate partner of NIADA.

“We will continue to work with NIADA members to develop innovative solutions that help them efficiently navigate the wholesale industry,” AuctionACCESS senior vice president and chief operating officer Charlie Adams said in a news release.

More than 320 U.S. and Canadian auto auctions use AuctionACCESS.

AuctionACCESS said that when dealers use their AuctionACCESS membership as a centralized method of managing their business, that allows them to focus more on buying and selling inventory and less on paperwork.

NIADA senior vice president of member services Scott Lilja said the association is adding AuctionACCESS as its latest industry partner at a time when the AuctionACCESS team continues investing substantially in boosting AuctionACCESS’ capabilities, integrity, transparency and usability “as an integral resource for our member dealers to source crucial wholesale auction inventory for their independent retail stores.”

Lilja continued, “We plan to work closely with them as those new solutions evolve and welcome their ongoing support of our industry and our member dealers.”
