About
Auctions can now list outside-the-gate inventory straight from the dealer’s lot. Your dealer’s DMS can send vehicles through Spark into your EDGE AMS inventory where you can include them in your simulcast sales or offer 24/7 via the Pipeline marketplace.
Currently, Auction Edge is only integrated with the vAuto DMS feed.
Please note: to ensure images are able to transfer along with the vehicle data, the dealer will need to use the vAuto imaging package. Please contact vAuto for more information.
Image Specifics...
When the DMS feed is used, the vehicles are placed into inventory in the AMS platform. The vehicle images do not transfer into the AMS.
Where and when will I see my Spark DMS Feed Images?
- AMS (AOS/ASI): DMS feed images are not imported into the AMS.
- EDGE Spark: after the vehicle is imported into the AMS via Spark, vehicle images will be available within Spark.
If you imported the vehicles to your AMS for a Postcard sale via Velocicast you will have to manually add pictures to the vehicle in order for them to show in Pipeline and Velocicast. The same is true for any other AMS integration sale platforms (Liquid Motors...etc)
Solution
Submit a request to support@auctionedge.com including your auction name, the dealership account # and point of contact. An Edge team member will coordinate with you and your dealer on the technology setup.
NOTE: Edge is currently able to integrate with vAuto. If your dealer uses vAuto, we will be able to set up this feature within an estimated 3 weeks.
Add the DMS Vehicle card to your Spark dashboard
From the DMS Vehicle card, select the desired vehicles and click “SEND TO AMS”
Selected vehicles will now show up in inventory status in ASI and are available to be lined up for a future sale.
