    January 7, 2021 Auto Remarketing

    Teams from CarOffer and Asbury Automotive Group have collaborated to build a group trade platform that allows dealers within the same group to buy, sell and trade vehicles between one another, thereby tailoring inventory distribution to the specific needs of individual stores within the group. CarOffer’s Group Trade platform gives dealers the ability to utilize the CarOffer Matrix platform and do so from a multi-store vantage point. Asbury, which brought the idea of this platform to CarOffer seven months ago and worked with the company to develop it, will be among the first groups to enroll its dealerships in the platform.
