Your best friend at a salvage auction!

The benefits include:

  • NEW! Bid Buddy now shows you Global Returns and shows every instance this VIN has been at auction. We have seen some vehicles auctioned more than 60 times, in multiple locations. A vehicle run this many times may need a closer look.
  • NEW! Auction images are integrated in Bid Buddy in the Bid Screen. Just hover over a part type and the images appear for quicker and easier damage selection.
  • Evaluates auction website inventory in seconds. Lists the vehicles by the highest degree of need so they will turn faster and avoid the duds.
  • Integrated Mathematical Formulas from Jim Counts give stock level and purchase recommendations for every Hollander Interchange Number based on your history, APU data and APPS partners.
  • Auction Parts & Pricing Service (APPS) shares your demand activity and parts prices with fellow recyclers to improve speed and accuracy of buying
  • Parts and pricing saved in Bid Buddy are passed into Inventory Buddy automatically when that VIN is loaded onto the Inventory Buddy.
  • Works on a Windows PC, tablet, or laptop with all the major inventory management systems.
  • APU Solutions Data – Evaluate with Actual Insurance Repair Data from Your Area. (Subscription Additional)
