Insights

Market Research Analyst

ACV's NADA showcase is predominantly focused on marketing their existing AI and data solutions rather than announcing any material financial impact or significant product launches. While the company is highlighting improvements to their ClearCar and ACV MAX platforms, these appear to be incremental updates rather than transformative new offerings.

The presentation at NADA, including educational workshops and TEC Talks, represents standard industry event participation that typically doesn't move stock prices or materially impact financial performance. The company's focus on AI implementation and data solutions aligns with industry trends, but this event serves primarily as a marketing and networking opportunity.

Though ACV continues to build its data moat and enhance its digital marketplace capabilities, this news release is essentially a preview of a trade show appearance, which falls into the category of routine marketing communications rather than market-moving news.

Building upon ACV Auctions' ever-growing data moat of comprehensive vehicle intelligence, ACV AI to power vehicle pricing use cases including online trades, consumer acquisition and retail pricing bringing speed, consistency and trust to car buying and selling

BUFFALO, N.Y., Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ACV (Nasdaq: ACVA), the leading digital automotive marketplace and data services partner for dealers and commercial partners, will arrive at the 2025 National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in New Orleans poised to reshape inventory acquisition, management, appraisals, and dealership operations to help attendees boost efficiency and profitability.

ACV’s data, fueled by millions of used vehicle inspections and transactions from its dynamic digital marketplace, is transforming the way dealers do business—expanding its solutions beyond wholesale operations. From leveraging the service drive for consumer vehicle acquisition to optimizing wholesale operations with real-time pricing and inventory insights, ACV’s team looks forward to engaging with dealers and commercial partners to create solutions that will address their most critical business needs.

ACV AI introduces the future of automotive
This year’s booth (#1901) will give attendees insight into how ACV’s deep moat of high-quality, structured data and AI capabilities are shaping the future of the automotive industry. ACV is showcasing its offerings and featured technologies to empower dealers to solve two key challenges: more effectively acquiring inventory from consumers and streamlining dealership operations.

• ACV’s leading vehicle appraisal and valuation suite, ClearCar, now contains QuickQuote. This new offering provides more flexibility for sourcing consumer leads and inventory acquisition. It leverages ACV’s real-time marketplace data to capture customer inquiries and immediately turn them into actionable inventory opportunities.
  
• ACV MAX now features ACV MAX Appraisal, an appraisal-only option, powered by real-time, market-based data to deliver unmatched precision and confidence in vehicle appraisals. This lighter solution responds to dealer feedback, offering the same accuracy as the ACV MAX Inventory Management Platform in an appraisal-only format. The company’s full-service inventory management offering, ACV MAX Inventory Management Platform, offers a robust set of tools designed to leverage inventory insights to manage current stock, merchandise vehicles, and appraise with ease and precision. Now turbocharged with data from ACV Auctions’ vibrant 24-hour digital marketplace, no other inventory management offering has more real-time insights.
  
• ACV Auctions will introduce new tools and enhancements that simplify buying and selling vehicles, saving dealers valuable time. Buyers now benefit from package codes and enriched vehicle descriptions on late-model vehicles, rental cars from leading rental car companies with warranties, and improved Stockwave integration for easier inventory search. Sellers can schedule auctions, manage offers directly in the app, and utilize the new “Low Reserve” badge feature to boost visibility and mid-auction reserve removal to drive sales success. These updates streamline operations and give dealers an edge.
  
• Ship any vehicle anywhere, regardless of its purchase location, with ACV Transport. With instant, competitive nationwide quotes, protection against damage or fraud plus smart bundling options for multiple vehicles, dealers can buy quickly and confidently from any lane—digitally or in-person. One-click ordering makes the process simple and quick, and ACV manages every problem, delay, cancellation, dry run, and more so dealers can focus on their businesses instead of logistics.
  
• ACV Capital is a full financing service provider, offering dealers fast, flexible, and transparent solutions to help maximize their purchasing power. Whether buying inventory online or at physical auction locations across the country, ACV Capital offers dealers an option to finance with the confidence of no hidden fees.
