Looking for a few dealers to test a real-time sourcing tool

[BennettE]

I recently created a private party acquisition tool that finds listings instantly when they are posted and assigns market value pushing the best deals to the user.

Currently it collects all private party listings in real time from Facebook marketplace, Autotrader cars.com and craigslist.

I run a automotive wholesale operation and have used it to source about 85% of my inventory over the last 18 months.

Looking for 5-10 dealers who want to be on the Beta and give me some feedback in exchange for using the software.


My website is Backlist.io

Bumping this post, tool is working great! There is a Toyota and Chevy store both getting great traction.

Still looking for a few dealers to demo it.

Hey Bennett - I am definitely interested in giving this a try. I use Kaihive currently - have used swoopa in the past. We buy 30-60 a month private party, mostly from FB marketplace.

I was working on a tool to augment this that considers my previous inventory recon costs and days on lot avg info, as well as color and feature parity to give a buy rating. I switched gears on that because I was running into FB bans pretty quickly.

Let's chat about this sometime!

Will this work in Canada?

Sounds like a strong idea, especially the real-time aggregation + deal filtering angle.
Big question is data accuracy and how clean the deduping is across platforms. If that part holds up, I can see dealers actually using it daily.
Beta access for feedback is a good move.
