Glass’s, publisher of Glass’s Guide, has launched Glass-Net, an online valuation tool for used car dealers.

The platform helps improve the efficiency of vehicle remarketing activity, cutting operating costs and enabling dealership sales staff to focus more of their time on the business of selling, said Glass’s.

Glass-Net lets retailers identify a used car, value it, check its history and adjust the value for mileage and damage.

It is compatible with most dealer management systems used by UK vehicle retailers and, as an internet-based system, can be accessed at any time from anywhere and by multiple dealership staff simultaneously.

Andrew Jones, sales manager at J&G Bland, a Pembrokeshire-based Vauxhall dealer which piloted the development version of Glass-net last year, said: “We have found Glass-Net very intuitive to use, reducing the potential for errors in vehicle identification and freeing up our sales team to cut the admin, letting them focus on selling cars.”

He added: “It brings together and automates the various valuation processes and supports our ongoing drive for improved operational efficiency.”
