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.

Autoweb Dealer Management System (DMS)
AutoWeb Design's Dealer Management System provides a holistic platform for automotive dealers, allowing them to effectively manage inventory, sales, expenses, and customer data, thereby replacing outdated spreadsheets and paperwork. This advanced system tracks vehicles from the initial purchase through various processes such as preparation, MOT, servicing, and valeting, culminating in the sale, while consistently updating stock values, sale details, and profit margins along the way. Dealers have the ability to create invoices and manage various payment statuses—whether they are paid, unpaid, or partially paid—while also attaching important documents to both vehicles and customer profiles. Furthermore, expense tracking is comprehensive, covering costs associated with repairs, transportation, advertising, and fuel, which provides a clearer picture of the actual expenses tied to each vehicle. The system maintains a centralized database of customer histories, documenting inquiries, test drives, purchases, and follow-up communications, thus enhancing visibility and reducing redundancy. This efficiency accelerates administrative tasks and strengthens overall control over dealership operations. By integrating these features, the system not only simplifies dealership management but also fosters better customer relationships and drives profitability to new heights. As a result, automotive dealers can focus more on strategic growth and customer satisfaction.
