Wheelbase is the AI agent for used car dealerships. Stop chasing updates: it sees every car, every vendor, and every dollar in one place, around the clock.
The problem
Holding cost runs about $35 per car, per day, and the meter never stops. Set how many cars you have in recon right now.
$18,900/month
to keep 18 cars sitting in recon
$630
Per day
$18,900
Per month
$226,800
Per year
Best practice is four to five days. At twelve, about $11,025 every month is avoidable stall, on this lot alone.
A car gets dropped at the body shop and disappears. The only way to find out where it stands is to call and ask, again. One dealer had a car sit nine days before learning the shop hadn't even started.

From auction sourcing to inventory tracking to reconditioning. Each piece removes a daily chase: the calls, the write-ups, the cars nobody noticed were stuck.
Too many run lists, not enough signal
Import run lists from major auctions. Define inventory tags and set targets. IMX automatically scores and sorts vehicles by how well they fill your inventory gaps.
Updates die in text threads
Purpose-built for field operations. VIN barcode scanning, vehicle inspections, task management, and photo documentation. Works offline, syncs when connected.
Manual write-ups slow every intake
Instant VIN decoding with our proprietary database. Complete specs in milliseconds, and the cost clock starts the moment a VIN is scanned.
Aging cars hide in plain sight
Track vehicles from acquisition to sale with real-time status, aging analysis, and cost-to-date on every unit.

Cars vanish once they leave the lot
Customizable pipelines with task assignments, vendor handoffs, and a flag on any car stuck 48 hours with no update.
Tracking systems fail when nobody updates them. Wheelbase AI keeps the board current on its own: it watches your inventory and auction data, surfaces what's stuck, and handles the routine work without anyone typing in a status.
AI scores every run list vehicle against your inventory targets, weighing profit potential, IMX gap-fill, and live market demand.
Guides your team through systematic vehicle inspections, auto-generates repair tasks, and assigns them to the right people.
Real-time dashboards for days-to-sale, profit margins, recon costs, and turn rates, so you always know where you stand.
Monitor market pricing, competitor inventory, and regional trends to ensure you're buying right and pricing to win.
Automate status updates, team notifications, customer follow-ups, and workflow transitions without writing a single rule.
Daily auction alerts, aging inventory flags, end-of-day reports, and data sync jobs run automatically, on your schedule.

Everything you need to know about Wheelbase.
Wheelbase is currently in closed beta with select dealerships. We're actively expanding access. Request a demo to see Wheelbase in action and be among the first dealers on the platform.
Wheelbase AI is your intelligent dealership co-pilot, built directly into the platform. It lives alongside your inventory and auction data, proactively surfacing insights, scoring auction vehicles against your targets, auto-creating inspection and recon tasks, monitoring competitor pricing, and running scheduled operations like daily auction alerts and aging inventory flags. It gets smarter the more you use it, learning your preferences and your market over time.
This is the question that kills most tracking systems, so we designed for it. Vendors update from a link: no app to install, no login to remember, easier than texting back. Inside the shop, Wheelbase AI does most of the updating itself by watching inspections, tasks, and inventory data, so the board stays current even when nobody types in a status.
No. Wheelbase sits on top of your DMS as the visibility layer for recon and inventory readiness. You keep DealerCenter, DealerSocket, or whatever you run today for deals and accounting. Wheelbase is where you see every car, every vendor, and every dollar between acquisition and frontline-ready.
Yes! We currently integrate with Dealercenter for inventory synchronization via S3 webhooks. More DMS integrations (CDK, Reynolds, Dealertrack) are on our roadmap. Our API-first approach makes it easy to extend and integrate with your existing tools.
IMX (Inventory Match Index) is our smart filtering system. You define inventory tags (year, make, model, body type, price ranges) and set targets for what you want in stock. When you import auction run lists, IMX automatically scores and sorts vehicles by how well they fill your inventory gaps. Wheelbase AI enhances IMX by layering in live market data and profit estimates.
Our plans scale with your business. Independent dealers can manage up to 100 vehicles, multi-location groups up to 500, and enterprise plans offer unlimited vehicle capacity with custom solutions.
We provide responsive email support with fast turnaround times. Enterprise customers get priority support and dedicated account management. We're a small team focused on building a great product. As we grow, we'll expand our support options.
Security is a top priority. We use end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, and secure cloud infrastructure. We're GDPR and CCPA compliant, with SOC 2 certification in progress. Your data is stored in redundant data centers with enterprise-grade backup systems.
