MARKETPLACE

M E D I A

Movex is a B2B platform connecting used vehicle transport demand with used vehicle logistics supply and saves the user time and money.

Our innovative platform allows users to place jobs for over 600 transport companies to bid on. The platform returns them highly competitive quotes. Users can be assured of the quality of the transport company they select, by viewing other users’ reviews and details of the transporter’s insurance.

We like to make things simple for our defleet clients. So wherever your fleet vehicles are located throughout mainland UK, just contact Manheim and we’ll arrange vehicle collection and vehicle delivery straight to any one of our 17 UK auction centres or to any destination.

Whether there’s one car to collect or 100, it’s all the same to us, because we have our own fleet and also have access to over 200 car and commercial vehicle transporters, plus the ability to call upon in excess of 500 plate drivers. This guarantees that we’re geared up to provide efficient and reliable vehicle delivery and vehicle collection, with no fuss and even less hassle – whenever you need us!


Transportation

Off Use VEHICLE SOLUT IONS

There’s a lot of trust involved with running a fleet of vehicles, and a lot of money at stake too. That’s why when a vehicle is ready to leave your fleet, you’ll want to know what kind of condition it’s in and whether you can expect it to fetch a healthy price at auction. So why leave it to chance?

Manheim’s highly trained and trusted team of inspectors can provide a thorough vehicle inspection off-site at the point of collection, or on-site once they’re delivered to our car auction centre. Each inspector is fully BVRLA-trained and carries out vehicle inspections using the latest hand-held technology. This ensures that every piece of important information is recorded during a vehicle inspection and submitted immediately. So, as soon as we know about the condition of your vehicles, so will you.

Off-site

On-site

When you need to be as transparent as possible and have a vehicle inspection when your customer is present, our off-site inspections fit the bill. Manheim’s professional inspectors can work in partnership with our collection drivers, and thoroughly assess a vehicle at the same time it is collected. We work to comprehensive BVRLA vehicle inspection ‘fair wear & tear’ guidelines, or your own standards if you prefer.

There are other times when it might be more convenient to have your vehicles inspected at one of our 17 auction centres. Vehicles are inspected to the published inspection standard and a report is produced. Any vehicle exceptions to the standards are reported and a repair cost estimate is included.

Inspection Services


Finding the space to store a single vehicle can be relatively straightforward. Finding space to store an entire fleet isn’t, unless of course you have acres of secure land with enough storage capacity for thousands of vehicles or you know a company like Manheim, which does.

Our two vehicle storage facilities at Coventry and Bruntingthorpe are centrally located in the heart of the UK and have been purposely designed to provide short and medium term vehicle storage.

Storage

A professional car valet is a straightforward and very cost-effective way to instantly improve the appeal of your vehicle. Getting your car looking its best inside and out usually means it will attract more interest from bidders and buyers, often sell for a higher price, or even sell faster.

Manheim’s professional car valeting team provides a large range of services, from a basic wash and leather to a thorough retail-standard deep clean on more than half a million cars every year.

Valeting


It’s vital that you always get the best possible resale price for your fleet vehicles and making sure each vehicle goes to the car auction in the best possible condition plays a large part in that.

Manheim’s highly-trained car repair and car reconditioning technicians are respected and trusted throughout the motor trade, repairing dents, scuffs, scratches and minor damage to upholstery on over 100,000 vehicles every year.

Reconditioning

Manheim can facilitate the sale of the vehicle directly to a family member, friend or colleague of the driver. This fully outsourced, white labelled service can be integrated into a contract end logistics process to enhance the driver experience and enable the proactive marketing of assets prior to the end of contract.

Imagine having a dedicated team member working at Manheim, looking out for cars that are the perfect fit for your dealership. That’s exactly what it’s like when you work with our Trade Sales Team. You’ll have a personal account manager who’ll get to know you and your dealership. They’ll then search Manheim’s entire UK auction stock daily to find the cars you want, even negotiating prices with the seller on your behalf - all at no extra cost.

With the arrival of our new 360° vehicle imagery. Rolling out now across all auction centres, you’ll soon be able to see vehicles online from all angles, in high resolution. You can zoom in on images to assess any visible damage, ensuring you’re seeing everything to a detail you can trust.

360° Vehicle Images

We’re building the most trusted vehicle inspection and preparation process to give buyers the confidence in the vehicles they are buying and confidence in the Manheim brand.

Before many vehicles are made available at any Manheim car auction, they have already been thoroughly examined by one of our highly-qualified vehicle inspectors, and graded according to its condition. Our inspectors look at every inch of a vehicle’s exterior and when the inspection is completed, each vehicle is awarded one of six NAMA Grades, depending on the type of damage noted. The inspection reports are available to view on our website, giving you the data to buy with confidence.

Condition Reports

Manheim Assured offers buyers peace of mind through a comprehensive vehicle check for cars. Our team of industry-qualified technicians inspect the mechanical condition of many vehicles before they are offered for sale at auction. A comprehensive report is produced as part of the car’s inspection report, covering 15 different points. We check in areas such as the engine, transmission, steering and brakes. If the vehicle isn’t as described it can be returned for repair of refund.

Manheim Assured

We’re building the best client service experience possible. We pride ourselves on making it easy for clients everyday. We’re leveraging data to drive meaningful and effective relationships with our buyers.

Buyer Engagement Strategy

Seller Advance sends valuations instantly to your salesman’s PC or iPad and with 97% accuracy, gives your teams the ability to offer competitive part-exchange prices and negotiate sales with real confidence.

Cash When You Most Need ItWe’re so confident in the accuracy of Seller Advance vehicle valuations that we can even arrange to make a next day cash advance into your bank account by BACS. You’ll benefit from having working capital available immediately, and any differences between the advance and the final sale price at auction will be reconciled after the actual sale. Accurate Valuations

Deal Maker

Clear and accurate vehicle information is key to providing the best possible part-exchange valuations. Image Capture simplifies the process by providing up to 20 high-quality digital images showing vehicle type, specification, colour and trim, plus detailed evidence of any areas of damage. With a brief description included with each image, and tags to specific areas of the vehicle, you’ll find that providing a realistic and accurate valuation becomes much easier.

Deal Maker offers a holistic view of all potential part exchanges across your network. It can improve sale conversions by enabling buyers to increase the amount offered on part exchanges, and influence retail transactions. Deal Maker also reduces the time and cost associated with sourcing stock, preventing the need to withdraw vehicles from the auction process at the last minute.
