Press Releases

ATLANTA (September 5, 2019) – Since launching its buyer experience in January 2019, the Manheim Express app raised the bar on digital wholesale buying by offering dealers a more efficient purchasing process. Today, Manheim is excited to announce that the buyer experience just got even better. Thanks to the launch of two new features, dealers will be able to enjoy AI-driven vehicle recommendations and the convenience of managing offers directly within the Manheim Express app. Both upgrades are part of Manheim’s ongoing efforts to harness the power of data and technology to put more confidence-boosting tools in dealers’ palms.

“The goal of the Manheim Express buyer experience is to empower dealers to make fast, yet confident purchasing decisions, and we continue to up the ante on how we help them achieve that,” said Derek Hansen, vice president of Offsite Solutions at Manheim. “Managing offers in the app will give dealers increased flexibility to conduct business wherever is easiest for them, and personalized vehicle recommendations uses the latest AI technology to highlight vehicles that fit their inventory mix.”

The buyer experience inside the Manheim Express app was part of the $100 million investment Manheim committed to its digital marketplace throughout 2019. The company’s goal was to boost the development of new technological tools and services to help dealers reduce waste, turn inventory faster, buy vehicles with increased confidence and improve dealer profitability.

Now, the buyer experience inside the Manheim Express app will get two more improvements, fueled by dealers’ evolving needs as they increase use of digital wholesale platforms:

• Recommended Vehicles
  Fueled by M LOGIC, a suite of decisioning products from Manheim, deeply personalized vehicle recommendations in Manheim Express will allow dealers to see up to 50 vehicles that are predicted to fit their specific needs under the new ‘Recommended’ tab. To accomplish this, M LOGIC’s machine learning uses data across Manheim's digital and physical properties to identify dealer preferences based on location and vehicle attributes. The ultimate goal of this data-driven AI is to help buyers find relevant inventory quicker and easier through the Manheim Express app. A similar feature has been recently added to the Manheim Market Report valuation tool.

• Manage Offers
  With in-app access to offer management, dealers can directly manage offers without needing to access a desktop computer. Dealers will be able to retract offers, make a new offer or accept, submit and reject counteroffers—all within the app.

These additions to the in-app buyer experience, available in September, will buoy the success Manheim Express and its users have already seen. Since its launch one year ago, Manheim Express has been downloaded by nearly 60,000 users representing 18,500 dealerships across the country.
