KAR Auction Services Announces Launch of ADESA OpenLane
(firmenpresse) - CARMEL, IN -- (Marketwire) -- 04/24/12 -- KAR Auction Services, Inc. (NYSE: KAR) today announced that it has fully integrated the online bid-now sales events of two of its subsidiary companies, ADESA and OPENLANE.
This integration combines the vehicle inventory that was previously available on ADESA DealerBlock with the inventory available on OPENLANE.com into one unified online venue, called ADESA OpenLane. This results in more opportunities for sourcing wholesale vehicles, including those located at all ADESA U.S. auction locations in addition to OPENLANE's private-label offerings and its open sale inventory.
"My vision has always been to provide the most comprehensive end-to-end vehicle remarketing solution in the industry," said Jim Hallett, KAR Auction Services CEO. "To do this, we will continue to move forward as a unified company and identify opportunities to combine products that enhance our online service offerings."
All 53 U.S. auction locations have successfully transitioned their DealerBlock offerings to the new ADESA OpenLane; all other ADESA.com products and services -- including ADESA LiveBlock and run lists -- are expected to be migrated to OPENLANE's industry-leading technology within 10-12 months. After this time, the company will then integrate its Canadian website, ADESA.ca, and its 13 auctions throughout Canada.
"We are building one marketplace -- at auction and online," said Hallett. "We understand that vehicle remarketers need to be able to buy and sell cars however and wherever they want: at remote locations, in-transit and at auction. In turn, we'll continue to enhance our suite of online remarketing platforms to address this market need."
KAR Auction Services, Inc. (NYSE: KAR) is the holding company for ADESA, Inc., ("ADESA"), Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc., ("IAAI") and Automotive Finance Corporation ("AFC").
