Problem
Wholesale automotive dealers often lack reliable, real-time data on a vehicle’s mechanical condition and exterior integrity, making it difficult to assess risk, set accurate pricing, and move inventory efficiently.
Solution
OPENLANE operates a digital wholesale marketplace that aggregates thousands of dealer‑sourced vehicles and enriches each listing with AI‑driven diagnostics. The platform records engine audio for every vehicle, applies machine‑learning models to highlight potential issues, and provides reference “normal” recordings for comparison. Its Code Boost IQ engine translates over 40,000 OBD2 fault codes into a color‑coded, easy‑to‑read format, while an AI‑assisted visual inspection flags likely exterior damage, which is then verified by professional inspectors. Dealers can browse a comprehensive inventory, review detailed diagnostic reports, and complete purchases with greater confidence and speed.
Target Audience
The primary users are wholesale automotive dealers and used‑car retailers who need reliable, data‑rich vehicle listings to streamline acquisition and pricing decisions.
