Cox Automotive adds UVeye integration to vAuto platform

Cox Automotive has updated its vAuto platform with an integration with UVeye. This allows the inventory management solution to apply AI-powered inspections to appraisals and inventory sourcing.

 “This is about helping dealers act faster and smarter,” said Derek Hansen, VP of Operations at vAuto. “Together, we’re making it possible to present informed offers, generate merchandising assets, and source quality inventory — all based on real condition data, in real time.”

According to the company, the new integration gives dealerships access to automated appraisals based on vehicle condition data, instant trade-in offers based on AI scans, merchandising imagery before reconditioning, and inventory sourcing from the service lane. These would be based on UVeye’s modular inspection system for vehicle underbodies, exteriors, tires, and interiors.

Jonathan Noda, GM at Brickell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Miami, which is currently using the integration as part of a pilot program, said “We’ve relied on vAuto for inventory and UVeye for inspections. Now we’re connecting the dots. If we can scan a car, appraise it accurately, and generate a live offer while the customer’s still in service — that’s a whole new level of opportunity.”
