MONROE, Ohio -

Inventory management solutions company Dealer Specialties today revealed it will be interating Kelley Blue Book Values into its appraisal tool — MarketControl Analytics — aiming to help dealers maintain a “competitive edge.”

Glen Garvin, group general manager of Dealer Specialities, noted, “Partnering with Kelley Blue Book is a key integration for MarketControl Analytics.

“Including Kelley Blue Book Values in our appraisal tool helps dealers maintain a competitive edge and validate values from one Web-based location,” he continued.

Now, dealers who utilize the appraisal tool can access KBB Trade-In, Wholesale Lending and Suggested Retail Values, which will be updated weekly.

“With easy access to Kelley Blue Book Values, dealers are equipped to make the best buying and selling decisions for their business while taking into account current market conditions,” said Damon Johnson, vice president of business development for KBB. “Relied upon by both consumers and the industry, Kelley Blue Book offers trusted information supported by the company’s 85 years of experience.”

Through utilizing the appraisal tool, dealers can potentially boost profits before acquiring inventory, and inclusion of third-party sources, like KBB, can help dealers ensure a “quick and profitable” sale, company officials explained.
