VAN’s platform includes live FSBO listings, VIN decoding, market valuation tools, automated outreach, CRM-style lead management, and team performance tracking. The software integrates with major trade-in tools like KBB ICO and AccuTrade, and scales to support solo buyers or entire acquisition teams.
