Drivably uses predictive analytics to bridge the gap that has long existed between car dealers and the private party marketplace, in which over 40 million vehicles exchange hands each year. The company enables its dealer partners to buy consumer vehicles at scale, while providing extensive market data to help them understand which cars are the best for their business.
Drivably identifies private party sellers, engages with them, puts the right offer on vehicles, and coordinates dealership appointments. Sellers are funneled directly and exclusively to a participating Drivably dealership within a specific market and a 15-minute walkaround inspection is conducted. The dealership cuts the consumer a check on the spot.
Drivably also integrates comprehensive analytics from all major industry data partners, combined with historical transaction data, to help businesses identify the cars they should buy, at what prices, and from which markets to streamline their operations and increase profitability.
