TradeCarLink has launched a new application which allows car dealers to coordinate auctions from their mobile phone.

The application is available in the Apple store and is set for Android and Web release in the near future.

The tech start-up is providing a month’s free trial of the app, allowing dealers to familiarise themselves with the range of features available. It is also fully integrated with HPI, allowing dealers to verify the history and background of all vehicles listed.

TradeCarLink co-director Jeremy Mitchell said: “Vehicles are free to advertise – after the trial period, a single fee of £69 provides access to all of our platforms from up to five devices per account, making TCL a viable prospect for larger dealerships with more expansive sales teams.

“We’ve worked hard to ensure we’re developing features that align with our customer’s needs. We saw an increase in dealers utilising video so immediately worked that into the app. Traders can now upload video appraisals to provide greater detail to the condition of vehicles."

TradeCarLink co-director Guy Harrington said: “The concept was born out of our frustrations within the trade. It became quickly apparent that the existing trade platforms were essentially carbon copies of one another. They really failed to provide the service that, from experience; we know the vast amount of traders have been searching for."

Mitchell and Harrington have a combined experience of 20 years in the motortrade.

The TradeCarLink platform utilises push notifications and an in-app messaging system to aid negotiations between dealers.
