ATLANTA – In 2011, independent auction partners turned to OVE.com – the industry’s leading 24/7 Bid or Buy Now wholesale vehicle marketplace – to grow their total sales nearly 25 percent, with dealer sales alone rising nearly 110 percent. These results demonstrate that OVE.com is a valuable buying and selling tool to help partners' sellers drive strong business results. |

Partners using OVE.com benefit because Manheim’s suite of digital products allows buyers and sellers to research, bid and buy any auction partner's vehicles anytime and anywhere from Manheim’s digital channels. These include Manheim.com, the mobile web site, the Manheim app and OVE.com, which collectively had more than 5 million visits per month in 2011. More than 85,000 customers log into Manheim web sites each week, and nearly 70 percent of them use PowerSearch to find the inventory they need, including independent auction inventory. PowerSearch makes it easy for customers to find and purchase vehicles from all auction partners on OVE.com, which allows OVE.com partners to provide more, better and easier ways to transact business. |
