Chapter 01 / The catalogue problem

1,000+ vehicles. You do not have time to research every one.

Auction catalogues containing over 1,000 vehicles are full of possibility. They are also full of noise, unknowns and expensive ways to be wrong.

Carbotix reads the catalogue without manual reformatting, then compares every vehicle against your buying profile. Instead of starting with a list you have to work through, you start with the vehicles that deserve your attention.

Upload the auction catalogue without manual reformatting. Carbotix compares each vehicle against your buying profile, then gives the useful signals a dealer needs to decide what deserves a closer look.

Useful intelligence, not a magic answer.

Every vehicle is surfaced through three practical lenses. Fit asks whether it belongs in your buying profile. Risk brings history and provenance, MOT and advisory insight, and common-fault and vehicle insight into view. Speed considers retail potential and how quickly a vehicle may work for your stock.

It is a disciplined way to reduce the field without losing the judgement that comes from knowing your market.

Chapter 03 / The buying equation

A bid is only sensible when the whole vehicle makes sense.

The cheapest lot is not automatically the best buy. Carbotix brings the approved buying considerations into the same position.

Valuation−Estimated repair/advisory costs−Additional costs−Target profit= Maximum bid
Maximum bid thinking before the bidding starts

Real product proof / Considered position

The number is a boundary, not a dare.

For each vehicle, Carbotix calculates a maximum bid using valuation, estimated repair/advisory costs, additional costs and target profit. That gives you a considered buying position before the bidding starts.

Review the vehicle, valuation and available intelligence first. Then make the call only you can make: whether this vehicle fits the business you are running.

AI and data support the trader. They do not replace dealer judgement.

Chapter 04 / After the hammer falls

A good buying decision should not disappear into a spreadsheet.

When the vehicle is bought, the work continues from the same record. Move the decision into the dealership workflow instead of starting again from zero.

The information behind the decision

Look past the purchase price.

A vehicle needs to work as a whole commercial decision. Carbotix brings relevant information together so independent dealers can assess likely cost, risk, retail value and the room between the buying position and a deal that works.

  • Vehicle history and provenance
  • MOT history and advisory insight
  • Brego valuations inside the trade workflow
  • Common-fault and vehicle insight
  • Retail potential
  • Margin after the real costs
  • Time to sell and capital tied up in stock

Connected buying tools

The decision travels with the vehicle.

Use the trade portal for vehicle information and valuations, then connect a successful buy to stock management, preparation, advertising, sales and profit. The tools support the dealer’s judgement rather than pretending to make the decision for them.

Questions dealers ask

Buying intelligence, with the dealer still in the driving seat.
