A custom tool that saves dealers 70+ hours a month sourcing stock
The problem
“I spend hours a day jumping between auction sites just to find stock worth buying — and I still miss cars I'd have bought.”
Independent UK used car dealers spend hours a day manually checking the biggest vehicle auction platforms one at a time to find stock worth buying — a slow, repetitive process that misses good cars and doesn't apply a dealer's own buying preferences at scale.
What I built
A custom tool that brings the four biggest vehicle auction platforms into one place and ranks every listing against each dealer's own buying preferences — one shortlist instead of four separate sites to check.
The manual process dealers were stuck with
Dealers were checking each auction platform separately, applying gut-feel filters, and losing hours to work that never scaled with their buying preferences.
The shortlist and ranking system built to replace it
One tool now pulls in listings from all four platforms and ranks them against each dealer's own buying preferences — a shortlist instead of four browser tabs.
What changed day-to-day
Sourcing became a five-minute review of a ranked shortlist instead of an hours-long daily trawl — and cars that used to get missed are now getting bought.
The result
Four auction sites, hours a day → one ranked shortlist a dealer can act on.
Saves dealers 70+ hours a month, and increases revenue by surfacing overlooked cars that would otherwise be missed in the daily trawl.
