Intelligence Portal

Live auction intelligence with suggested max bid guidance

Real-time auction intelligence with country-specific market benchmarks, vehicle sourcing logic and risk signals. Structured decision support that helps buyers bid with confidence instead of gut feeling.

Built for live auction decisions

When a vehicle appears at auction, purchasing teams need current market context immediately. The Intelligence Portal delivers structured decision support before the vehicle is acquired, not after.

Live vehicle input

Enter auction price, mileage, country, VAT status and vehicle details.

Market match

Compare the vehicle against country-specific benchmarks and pricing rules.

Max bid guidance

See a suggested maximum bid based on resale potential and margin logic.

Bid risk signals

Identify overpriced, risky or margin-weak vehicles before bidding.

Decision support

Use a structured recommendation instead of gut feeling during live auctions.

Auction Decision View

A structured decision screen for live auction situations, combining bid input, market benchmark, suggested max bid and risk interpretation in one view. See at a glance whether the current bid still fits the market range, or whether the opportunity has become too expensive.

Suggested max bid guidance

The suggested maximum bid is structured decision support based on market benchmarks, resale potential, margin logic and risk indicators. It provides a guidance value, not a guaranteed price or a guaranteed market outcome.

Use the suggested max bid as a disciplined reference point, not as an automatic purchase instruction.

Market context

Country benchmark range

Compares the auction vehicle with the relevant pricing corridor in the selected market. The benchmark is country-specific and kept separate from other markets.

Commercial logic

Margin and resale logic

Evaluates whether the vehicle still supports a commercially realistic resale opportunity after purchase, based on benchmark position and typical margin assumptions.

Risk assessment

Risk and overpricing profile

Indicates whether the current bid level is attractive, acceptable, watch-listed or too aggressive relative to the country benchmark and margin outlook.

Decision output

Suggested maximum bid

Provides a structured guidance value based on market assumptions, resale potential, margin logic and risk indicators. Supports disciplined bidding, not a guaranteed price or automatic purchase instruction.

Country-specific market benchmarks

Vehicle margins differ significantly by country. Taxes, sourcing assumptions, resale expectations and pricing levels vary across markets. The portal evaluates auction opportunities against market-specific assumptions for Germany, Switzerland, Austria and additional European sourcing markets, keeping each country benchmark separate and comparable.

No mixed-market insights. Country separation helps prevent distorted pricing signals and protects the validity of the benchmark used during auction, sourcing and purchase decisions.
