MANHEIM LAUNCHES IMPROVED ONLINE REMARKETING SERVICE FOR FLEET CUSTOMERS


 

            ATLANTA - Manheim has launched Electronic Vehicle Purchase
(eVP) 2.0, a freshly updated version of its upstream remarketing service
for fleet administrators and corporate fleet managers, it was announced
today. 

 

Highly flexible and quick to deploy, eVP 2.0 can be fully customized to
accommodate a wide variety of implementations. The service delivers new
features based directly on feedback from its fleet administrator
customers, as well as the employees purchasing corporate fleet vehicles.


 

"Manheim's eVP 2.0 is the direct result of feedback from our fleet
customers and their employees," said Paul Magill, general manager of
Manheim's Remarketing Services division. "From that input we have built
a highly flexible service that allows fleet administrators to remarket
their vehicles more efficiently and provides employees a user-friendly
vehicle shopping and buying experience."

 

eVP 2.0 accommodates not only fixed price offers, but also competitive
bid auctions as well. Online administrative tools have been upgraded,
providing an intuitive, simple-to-use Web interface that fleet
administrators can use to manage the employee purchase program. In
addition, vehicle data can be transmitted automatically in an electronic
file, or a vehicle's driver can now manually enter data about a vehicle
and upload photos with an easy-to-use Web form.

 

Corporate employees are able to review additional content when looking
at their company's fleet vehicles, with upgraded search tools and the
ability to compare multiple vehicles side-by-side. Employees also have
access to vehicle history reports and comparison shopping tools, as well
as the finance and transportation options they previously enjoyed. 

 

As important, eVP 2.0 can seamlessly migrate no-sale vehicles to
OVE.com, Manheim's midstream selling service, for sale directly to more
than 65,000 dealers nationwide. This allows fleet administrators easy
access to both upstream and midstream remarketing channels with the
click of a mouse.
