AUTO1 EVA app: Mobile Remarketing Management

17 June 2021

Berlin, 17.08.2020 - AUTO1.com, Europe’s largest wholesale platform for car trading professionals, is launching the new AUTO1 EVA app for car inspection and remarketing. AUTO1.com thus expands its product portfolio with an innovative, fully integrated evaluation platform for Android, iOS and on the web. The app digitizes the process of taking in new cars for dealers, and direct access to the pan-European B2B vehicle trade through detailed documentation processes results in high-quality data.

Dealers, leasing, and rental car companies are faced with the challenge of increasing turnover while reducing downtime. Inappropriate trade-ins or leasing returns must be sold as quickly as possible. With AUTO1 EVA, our partners evaluate cars digitally with the smartphone or via the browser on a laptop or tablet. After a few clicks, B2B remarketing takes place in an audit-proof manner to over 60,000 partner dealers in Europe. The native app can be used on different devices by different users, as well. A salesperson begins the digital inspection so that an employee can complete the data via smartphone during the technical inspection in the workshop, then AUTO1.com employees review the data.

The app was programmed based on feedback from partner retailers. The development process focused on optimizing speed while creating user-friendly functions. The entire process of creating a dataset for a car is now possible in under 15 minutes, including the documentation of damages, as well as photo and video recording. A VIN query automatically fills in the essential data via the DAT interface. One-touch flow navigation guides the salesperson step-by-step through the car inspection process.

"With the AUTO1 EVA app, we are setting a new standard in the digitization of cars," says Jost Dieckhaus, Vice President Remarketing Europe AUTO1 Group. "After the dealers determine how they intend to use the car, every day counts. AUTO1 EVA accelerates and digitizes the acceptance and remarketing process in the dealership. This leads to significantly faster remarketing, less downtime, and higher earnings or residual values as we market throughout Europe. Dealer groups that manage used cars across several locations are also faced with an administrative challenge, for which we offer a mobile solution. Thanks to the short documentation time and the precise data, we can offer the cars for sale to our partner dealers more quickly and achieve the best prices for the seller".

The app is now available for Android and as a web app in Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Sweden, Belgium, and the Netherlands for free. An iOS version will follow within the next few days. The link to the Google Playstore can be found here.

Interested dealers can register at AUTO1.com and then contact our remarketing experts via email at remarketing-de@auto1.com or call 030 2647 5032. Registration is free and there are no monthly fixed costs.
