Summary: vAuto Test Drive gives dealers early access to emerging inventory management technologies so they can explore new capabilities, decide what fits their dealership, and help shape future product development through direct feedback. Available through a dedicated Test Drive tab within vAuto, the program offers a flexible, opt-in way to evaluate new ideas before they’re broadly released.
We know dealerships are always looking for new ways to work more efficiently, uncover opportunities faster, and stay ahead of changing market conditions. But because every store operates differently, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to inventory management.
That’s why we’ve introduced vAuto Test Drive, a new experience within vAuto that gives dealers early access to emerging capabilities and enhancements before they’re broadly released. Through a dedicated Test Drive tab on your dashboard, you can explore new technologies, choose which features you’d like to try, and decide how they fit into your inventory management process. Participation is entirely optional, putting you in control of what you test and when.
Innovation works best when it’s shaped by the people who use it every day.
Test Drive creates a direct connection between dealers and the teams building the next generation of vAuto solutions. As you explore new capabilities, you’ll have opportunities to provide feedback that helps shape how those features evolve. Your input helps determine what gets refined, expanded, or brought to market, ensuring new solutions are informed by real dealership needs and real-world use.
Think of Test Drive as your chance to get a firsthand look at what’s next, experiment at your own pace, and help influence the tools you’ll use tomorrow. Because the best solutions are built alongside the dealers who rely on them every day.
