Determining the Residual Value
To determine a new residual value, simply click on the colored "Plus" button at the bottom of the app.
You will then have the option of finding the vehicle in question by scanning the vehicle registration or by manual search.
Scanning of the Vehicle Registration
With this search method, you can either take a picture with your smartphone of the vehicle registration or select a vehicle registration from your photo memory.
The photo of the vehicle registration is uploaded to our server and the corresponding values are automatically read out. Once the mileage has been completed, the vehicle is searched for in our database using the recognized values.
Manual Search
There are three different ways to search for a vehicle manually.
Registration Number
Enter the vehicle's registration number in the corresponding field and click on the "Next" button. A list of vehicles will then be displayed. Select the appropriate vehicle.
Certificate Number
Enter the Certificate Number, month and year of the first registration in the corresponding fields. A list of vehicles will then be displayed. Select the appropriate vehicle.
Manufacturer/ Model
First select the manufacturer and then the model. The form will help you to narrow down the search results so that you can select the desired vehicle.
Additional Information
After selecting the desired vehicle, you will be taken to the form for the additional information we need to determine a residual value. Please indicate the mileage of the vehicle and the value of the equipment. The default value proposed here is 10% of the new price. This can be overwritten if necessary.

B2B Residual Value
In this view you can see the determined B2B residual value of the vehicle and a suggested purchase price. You can switch between the customer view and the dealer view.
The dealer view shows a detailed view of the calculation. In addition to the basic residual value of CARAUKTION, the auto-i residual value is displayed. By clicking on the respective value, you decide which one you want to use for the calculation.
If entries of a vehicles condition are saved, then these are being taken into account for the calculation. A proposed purchase price is then determined using the standard exchange margin defined in the settings.
In the customer view, the entire calculation is hidden and only the proposed purchase price is displayed. Despite our efforts to generate the best possible data quality, we ask you to consider the following points:
The actual equipment of a vehicle may differ from the calculated equipment in a VIN query. Since the CARAUKTION is subject to the usual market fluctuations, the residual value cannot be guaranteed.
Vehicle Condition
In this area, you have the option of entering all reductions as well as increases in the value of the vehicle. These entries can also be assigned to several screens if required.
In addition, "marketing photos" can be entered, which can then be transferred to CARAUKTION.
Quick Rating
The quick rating enables you to enter value reductions as well as increases quickly. For both options, you can choose one of four different ones.
Select the valuation options. In the settings, a corresponding value is stored for each option, which can be adjusted by the main users. After the short valuation, a flat-rate entry is made for the value reduction and for the value increase.
Value Depreciation and Increase
In order to record the condition of a vehicle in detail, different entries can be made for each vehicle. To do this, click on the "plus button" and then select in the form whether it is a depreciation or an increase in value.
You can enter a value and a description. Photos can also be attached. Click the "Save" button to add the entry to the list.
Marketing Pictures
Marketing photos are photos that are used for the resale. The "Plus" button in this section allows you to take new photos or add photos from your photo storage. The "Main Image" element allows you to specify which of the images should appear first.

Vehicle Purchase
If the recorded vehicle is purchased, you can use this view to determine and save the actual purchase price.
You can either use the "Plus" and "Minus" buttons to adjust the trade-in margin or enter the purchase price directly.
Sub-users have the option of obtaining approval for the purchase. They do not click on the "Buy vehicle" button, but on "Request purchase". A notification is then being sent to the main users account, who can then agree to the purchase or adjust the corresponding values.
With a click on "Release vehicle Purchase", the sub-user who made the request receives a notification about the processing of his request. He can then complete the possible purchase by clicking on "Buy Vehicle".

Transfers
In this area the vehicle can be transferred to CARAUKTION. Simply click on the desired platform in the overview and enter the desired sales price.
