Auction123 Named Platinum Award Winner for Best Online Inventory Marketing Tools in the 2014 Dealers’ Choice Awards

A very BIG ‘Thank You’ to all who nominated and voted for Auction123 as your favorite Online Inventory Marketing Tool provider! We are honored to be named as the recipient of the Platinum Award and look forward to continuing to provide our dealers with the best inventory marketing tools available!


NEWS RELEASE

Auction123, the leading provider of inventory marketing solutions for dealerships of all vehicle categories, is honored to be the recipient of the Platinum Award for Best Online Inventory Marketing Tools in Auto Dealer Monthly’s 2014 Dealers’ Choice Awards. This marks the fifth year Auction123 has been recognized in these awards.

Hundreds of dealers voted in the 10th annual Dealers’ Choice Awards, which recognize the most highly-regarded vendors, suppliers, and finance companies in the retail automotive industry. Voters were able to list their favorite vendors in a total of 27 categories and score each vendor based on the product or service itself, customer support and service, value, and whether they would recommend the company to another dealer. “Each year, the high standards of dealers are reflected in the results of the Dealers’ Choice Awards voting, and this year is no exception,” said David Gesualdo, publisher of Auto Dealer Monthly and F&I and Showroom. “The winners have set a high standard for themselves and for the industry as a whole.”

“We are driven to develop innovative products and services that remedy the challenges dealers face on a day-to-day basis when marketing their inventory to the top online marketplaces”, said Ray Basha, C.E.O of Auction123, Inc. “Being consistently recognized by dealers for our Online Inventory Marketing tools in the annual Dealers’ Choice Awards is a huge honor. We are excited about our latest enhancements to our eBay and Craigslist tools and look forward to supporting our dealers with the unparalleled service they expect from everyone here at Auction123.”

In 2014, Auction123 greatly enhanced their suite of inventory marketing tools by creating fully automated listing processes for both eBay and Craigslist. These new features provide dealers with a hands-free solution for launching and managing their vehicle listings on these high traffic sites. Unlike other automated solutions, the Auction123 tool offers dealers with full control over which inventory should go live and the days and times the ads should be listed. Dealers seeking more control over the posting process have the option of manually scheduling their vehicles to go live on the day, time, and marketplace they choose.

Recently, Auction123’s Craigslist application was highlighted as a Powersports’ Business Nifty 50 – Top Products and Services of 2014. Auction123 was also honored to be voted as the highest rated Inventory Management Provider in the 2014 Dealer Marketing Magazine Technology Leadership Awards.
