INNISFIL, Ontario -

North Toronto Auction and Ontario-based Apex Inspection Solutions have announced a strategic partnership where Apex will be the auction’s third-party inspection provider.

As such, the company will provide NTA clients with enhanced vehicle inspection services. The partnership can lead to growth opportunities for NTA and Apex, officials said, "while informing and empowering the customer experience on multiple levels.”

Apex director of Canadian operations Craig Martin noted: “Apex is extremely excited to be selected as North Toronto Auction’s inspection vendor. We are constantly looking at new initiatives on how we can improve our services tomorrow and onward.”

The companies said the data systems integration that Apex provides — plus the standard and secure links for all inspections it conducts — can boost the services already offered by the auction.

Apex’s reports allow end users to print, email and share inspection reports as necessary. This, officials say, offers customers “a simpler and more accessible flow of data.”

NTA owner/partner Matt Rispin said: “It is always exciting when you partner with another company that shares your strategic vision. We (Apex and NTA) have already exchanged some great ideas as to where we are heading and our partnership can only help dealers, fleet and leasing and finance partners.”
