Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN)
Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is an automotive software platform built to help car dealerships acquire high-quality used vehicles directly from private sellers—without relying on auctions. As wholesale prices rise and vehicle availability tightens, VAN empowers dealers with tools to source inventory faster, more profitably, and with greater control.
VAN aggregates local FSBO (for-sale-by-owner) listings, applies real-time market data to assess profitability, and automates communication with sellers at scale. Buyers can manage leads, track seller conversations, and streamline acquisition workflows through an intuitive CRM-style dashboard designed specifically for dealership teams.
For dealers who don’t have dedicated acquisition staff, VAN offers a Managed Buyer program, pairing stores with expert buyers who actively source, engage, and negotiate with private sellers on their behalf—saving time and boosting acquisition volume without internal hiring.
VAN is trusted by hundreds of dealerships across North America—from independent rooftops to franchise groups—looking to beat Carvana and CarMax at their own game. It's the smarter way to buy cars.

Transforming the operational dynamics of sawmills, this system streamlines the importation of consignments, allowing users to access import details with a single click while supporting various data formats. It enhances customer management by fostering greater efficiency and transparency in client interactions as well as boosting team collaboration. The platform generates a variety of reports, including gate entry, machine variation, stock details, and grade-wise layouts, catering to diverse reporting needs. In instances where barcodes are not scanned, users can manually enter barcode information, ensuring no data is overlooked. Security measures are in place with role-based access, granting users data visibility and security tailored to their specific roles, which in turn optimizes productivity. The system also handles batch management effectively, organizing consignments according to vehicle numbers, customer names, and gate passes.
