I add, modify, and delete our inventory using this software. It also can print comparable inventory to validate our prices when confronted with a price objection. We also use this to estimate trade values.

Pros

It's owned by Cox Automotive which has their hands into everything. I use it to post my vehicles and the picture editor allows us to add banners easily to the images of trucks we sell.

Cons

The quality of the photos do get reduced greatly from the quality that we initially took off our trucks.

Its been a good experience working with Provision, now that they have made improvements to the photo uploading tool and added AI backgrounding. The thumbnails of the images used to be tiny and hard to view once uploaded and now they are more easy to see. I just wish I could see more images at once without having to scroll down for the purposes of re arranging images by making better use of the screen space.

Pros

I like the new photo uploading tool and the AI generated backgrounds

Cons

I don't like how the website page doesn't adjust when I widen or narrow the window on my computer . It would be helpful to be able to shrink the window size down to place 2 windows side by side especially when working on a small lap top screen.

As mentioned before, it was made for Inventory and Dealership managment.
It helps me a lot with out Inventory and maarketing, I can do a lot with it and most of what I need day a day.
I believe most dealers should have it.

Pros

After getting to know it for a while, it's pratical and a must for out kind of business.
Support is good as well, but sometimes they might take a while.

Cons

Sometimes it has some bugs that not even they know how to fix properly, some of the even look stupid.

Provision is a good inventory management product. You are able to change pricing, add photos and give appraisal. The app is amazing for sales people to use.

Pros

I like how anything you update through Provision will sync to the CRM you are using and the website.

Cons

The inconvenient part is that the syncing can take up to 24 hours to display.

Response from vAuto

Vauto is an integral part of our business. We use it to help find the right vehicles at the right price. When we are looking at auctions, we use Vauto to make sure we are buying the right high demand vehicles for the right price. Once we get the vehicles, we use it to merchandise our vehicles to all of the 3rd party sites. Upload pictures, descriptions and options to Vauto and they'll send everything to all of your 3rd party sites quickly and effortlessly.

Pros

Vauto is a one stop shop for buying, pricing and merchandising your inventory. A ton of powerful features to make sure you buy vehicles at the right price and merchandise them to sell.

Cons

It's a little pricier than some options, but it makes up for it with functionality.

Pros

This software provides A TON of information in one place. You can cross reference values from multiple locations including KBB, NADA, Black Book, etc. Makes changing prices easy and lists all comparable vehicles so you know how competitive you are. Reps are great and provide ample training.

Cons

Takes a little time to figure out everything because there is so much information. Cost is a little on the hifh side.

Pros

We appraise and book out each trade-in we take in through Provision. It gives me a clear market analysis and gives me a clear picture of market day supply on the vehicle I am appraising.

Cons

At auction when using Provision on IOS it freezes or glitches. Sometimes after scanning a car or truck I have to close the app and reopen it..when at auction this is unacceptable.

Pros

Provision is one of those tools we don't know what we would do without. They offer great insight, and valuable features to help make our jobs tremendously easier.

Cons

Being a Cox Automotive product, it comes with some disadvantages just strictly based on its size. There may be some smaller companies out there that are incrementally better/cheaper/better reps, but Cox does a great job overall.

Must have

Reviewed on 2022/06/07

Pros

Organization and ease of use to find specific inventory. Accepts feeds from other software and feeds out seamlessly. Very good inventory management system. One stop shop for notes, make adjustments to website feeds, appraisals, pricing, etc.

Cons

It is difficult to find a con, but a way to organize inventory by specific attributes would be helpful.

Response from vAuto

Thank you, Zackary! We appreciate your positive comments and review. To your point on organizing vehicles by specific attributes, you might consider ProfitTime GPS. The new system distills the attributes of vehicles into investment values to help dealers optimize the ROI on every used vehicle. Thanks!

The best in class used car information available, and world class customer service.

Pros

The software is so far ahead of the curve that it is amazing. No one else is offering such fantastic and comprehensive used car information. It truly feels like you are cheating, to have all the information available to you at a moments notice.

Cons

The only thing that I can say is a con is that it is hard to afford all the tools that you need as a small used car lot. For the big guys it is an absolute no brainer.

I used provision, we switched software, and now we have recently went back to provision and I couldn't be happier. It is easy to use and requires little to no training. I am able to create custom reports to help me be efficient. Highly recommend!

Pros

Cons

Vauto is a great tool to use for getting and pricing both new and pre-owned vehicles. Best inventory management system out there hands down.

Pros

Great way to value vehicles. Easy way to see current data at your fingertips. SO much data its on you if you screw up.

Cons

There are very little cons to Vauto. Once you learn the ins n outs you will love it as well. One con if you can call it that is the overwhelming amount of data.

vAuto is irreplaceable for used car appraising in acquiring inventory and pricing it once we do have it on the lot.

Cons

The interface itself has a relatively steep learning curve, but this is mostly because of the sheer volume of information being stored/presented.
