ATLANTA – To help more dealers take full advantage of Manheim‟s comprehensive suite of digital products when they need the tools the most – in the lanes on sale day – Manheim has launched TWI “On the Go.” An extension of The Wholesale Institute (TWI), TWI “On the Go” focuses on using Manheim‟s digital tools, such as Mobile, myAccount and the Manheim app, providing dealers with immediate training in the lanes during specified live-sale events at Manheim locations. |

“Manheim has been dedicated to dealer training for many years, and The Wholesale Institute has served more than 5,000 customers since 2007 through our various offerings,” said Mandy Savage, director of The Wholesale Institute. “We realize that not all dealers can take extra time away from their businesses to attend training classes so TWI „On the Go‟ sessions make it easier for more customers to get the digital information and training they need when it is very convenient for them – while they are at the auction.” |

During the TWI “On the Go” sessions, dealers have the opportunity to explore different types of digital devices and receive hands-on demonstrations. The team brings mobile devices and tablets to each event so that dealers can “test drive” Manheim‟s mobile offerings. The team also helps dealers download and use the free Manheim app on their own devices. Dealers using Manheim‟s digital tools can also save time by paying online for their purchases via myAccount rather than standing in line at the auction counter. Overall, TWI “On the Go” helps to simplify the researching, buying and selling process. |
|
During TWI “On the Go” sessions, dealers also can get all their questions about Manheim‟s digital tools answered and receive tips, best practices and more. “I found the Manheim app to be very helpful,” said Sal Ali of GT Sport Auto. Ali was one of more than 50 dealers participating in a recent TWI “On the Go” workshop at Manheim Atlanta. “Normally I make one or two purchases during a sale, but with the Manheim app, I was able to get the information I needed more quickly so I ended up with three cars.” |

“TWI „On the Go‟ is an interactive experience with lots of „aha‟ moments where dealers gain a better understanding of how to buy vehicles more efficiently and leverage Manheim‟s online resources toward maximizing profits,” said Savage. “We empower our customers with the digital knowledge they need to accomplish their business goals.” |

Customers continue to increase their usage of digital tools. For example, last December alone, 28,000 customers used the Manheim app. Meanwhile, traffic to the mobile site averages more than 500,000 visits per month. As more customers continue to do business digitally, providing them with more, better and easier training options such as TWI “On the Go” will continue to be a priority for Manheim. |
