ARLINGTON, Texas -

The National Independent Automobile Dealers Association and GigglePop.com recently launched NIADA Mobile, an iPhone and Android-based wireless application to assist members with their mobile used-vehicle management needs while working on the lot at the auction or at industry events.

NIADA Mobile is designed to provide association members with used-vehicle appraisal tools from Black Book, NADA Used Car Guide and Kelley Blue Book along with vehicle history reports from AutoCheck and Carfax.

The solution also is geared to assist retail inventory units in real time via auction run lists from Manheim, ADESA and independent auto auctions.

Furthermore, association members can receive timely mobile updates from NIADA on major new legislative and compliance issues affecting their dealerships along with new member services, education programs, industry updates and NIADA.tv educational content.

NIADA explained its vision for NIADA Mobile was to create a natural extension of its current member communication channels via online, publication and Web-TV platforms to the smartphone arena.

As members continue to gravitate to innovative mobile technology solutions, NIADA believed it was critical to stay connected to members and update them on relevant association news on a real time basis, along with providing them with used-vehicle management tools to enhance sales and profitability.

In partnership with GigglePop.com, NIADA Mobile can provide seamless integration of NIADA Web content with GigglePop’s suite of vehicle valuation tools, vehicle history and detailed auction market report.

“Over the years I’ve been genuinely impressed with how Mike Linn, his staff and their state associations have continually strengthened the NIADA footprint within our industry,” stated GigglePop.com president and founder George Heppe.

“It’s been quite remarkable. We’re very pleased to have this opportunity to assist the association with the goal to deliver its Web content in a more accessible and convenient mobile manner,” Heppe continued.

NIADA’s vice president of member services Scott Lilja added, “NIADA Member Services is proud and very excited to offer our 20,000 members a mobile used vehicle management resource to assist members on the go with the core data and information they need to make profitable decisions at the auction, on their dealership lot and anywhere else they may be working remotely.

"NIADA’s continued commitment to developing innovative, relevant and leading edge solutions for our members has led to the development and launch of this industry changing NIADA Mobile solution,” Lilja went on to say.
