Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is buy center software for franchise and independent auto dealerships, built for buying used cars directly from private sellers. Dealers use it to buy from consumers in their market before those cars reach the auction lane.
How it works:
- VAN scans 25+ online marketplaces for for-sale-by-owner vehicles and puts them in one dashboard, matched to your buy box (year, make, model, mileage) inside your territory.
- It filters out listings from other dealers, scam listings, and Do-Not-Call numbers, decodes each VIN, and adds live market valuation.
- Your buyer calls, texts, and emails sellers from inside VAN, and every conversation stays attached to the vehicle.
- One click pushes a car into vAuto, where your manager appraises it. CARFAX and AutoCheck reports run inside VAN.
- VAN runs inside VINCUE Buy Center Pro as VAN Mode, where VINCUE applies your buy plan to each private-seller car.
Plans:
- Professional ($1,695/month): the core platform plus an Acquisition Coach™, an experienced private-party buyer who meets with your team. Every plan includes one.
- VAN Accelerate™ ($2,495/month): adds automated text and email outreach, automated follow-up for unresponsive sellers, automatic replies to KBB ICO leads within minutes, and automatic responses to AccuTrade leads.
- VAN Managed Buyer™ ($5,995/month, 90-day initial term): VAN hires, trains, and manages a full-time buyer who works only for your store on sourcing, outreach, and negotiation. Your desk inspects, makes the final buy decision, and signs the check.
Listed prices are starting rates; final price depends on territory size and number of users. Software plans go live in about four days, and Canadian dealers are billed in CAD.
VAN was founded in 2013 by Tom Gregg and serves dealers in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. To see VAN on your market, call 855-952-4949.

Apify offers a comprehensive platform for web scraping, browser automation, and data extraction at scale. The platform combines managed cloud infrastructure with a marketplace of over 10,000 ready-to-use automation tools called Actors, making it suitable for both developers building custom solutions and business users seeking turnkey data collection.
Actors are serverless cloud programs that handle the technical complexities of modern web scraping: proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript rendering, and headless browser management. Users can deploy pre-built Actors for popular use cases like scraping Amazon product data, extracting Google Maps listings, collecting social media content, or monitoring competitor pricing. For specialized needs, developers can build custom Actors using JavaScript, Python, or Crawlee, Apify's open-source web crawling library.
The platform operates a developer marketplace where programmers publish and monetize their automation tools. Apify manages infrastructure, usage tracking, and monthly payouts, creating a revenue stream for thousands of active contributors.
Enterprise features include 99.95% uptime SLA, SOC2 Type II certification, and full GDPR and CCPA compliance. The platform integrates with workflow automation tools like Zapier, Make, and n8n, supports LangChain for AI applications, and provides an MCP server that allows AI assistants to dynamically discover and execute Actors.
