ADESA has made a series of enhancements to its website, designed to make the buying and selling experience easier and more convenient for users.
CARMEL, Ind.— ADESA, a business unit of KAR Auction Services, announced that it has launched a series of enhancements to ADESA.com to make the buying and selling experience easier and more convenient for users.
“We frequently speak to our customers for feedback on how we can enhance our website and offer more online solutions to help them run their business more efficiently and more effectively,” said ADESA CEO and President Stéphane St-Hilaire. “We will continue to develop and implement new features and additions that streamline their experience and create more value for our customers.”
Now, there is a direct link from the homepage to inventory eligible for ADESA Assurance, enabling customers to quickly view off-lease and rental vehicles eligible for a 30-day, no-questions-asked return guarantee. The company has also improved its watch list functions by adding new watch list filtering menus on the website and the mobile-optimized site, and the ability to remove watch list vehicles directly from the search results page.
The upgrades also extended to search enhancements, including making salvage units searchable using free-form text search; the addition of a specialty search page and condition report icons to search results indicating if a report is available; and a new default sort order for search results showing nearest inventory first. ADESA has improved its vehicle details pages, including the addition of AutoGrade pop-up windows; seller invoice links and a new window sticker section.
