Published July 25, 2017 - Written by IAA, Inc
WESTCHESTER, Ill. – July 25, 2017 – Insurance Auto Auctions, Inc. (IAA), a business unit of KAR Auction Services, Inc., (NYSE: KAR), and the leading live and live-online salvage auto auction company, today announced its latest innovation, Active Inventory Management™. The Active Inventory Management™ service enables insurance company customers to save time and resources by outsourcing their entire salvage inventory management process to IAA.
“IAA developed the Active Inventory Management™ solution to help our insurance customers streamline their salvage management process and generate better economic returns,” said John Kett, CEO and president, IAA. “IAA is committed to providing the tools, resources, and technology needed to deliver an unmatched customer experience. Active Inventory Management is the latest enhancement in this effort, and early adopters have already seen improved results in returns, cycle time and internal expense.”
Utilizing IAA’s unique CSAToday® platform, the salvage industry’s first mobile vehicle inventory management tool, IAA is able to actively monitor vehicles, identify issues, and coordinate any resolutions through its dedicated customer service team. Together with the Active Inventory Management Solution™, IAA hopes to help customers drive higher levels of satisfaction and retention amongst their own customer-base. Additionally, with salvage inventory often managed by insurance company employees with multiple responsibilities, Active Inventory Management™ provides a turnkey alternative that can improve APD process efficiency and keep employees focused on other value-added responsibilities.
As an industry leader in technology and innovation, IAA continues to develop new capabilities like Active Inventory Management™ that address and anticipate the needs of salvage buyers and sellers. The company was the first to invest beyond the physical auction and provide sellers and buyers with technology solutions that decrease cycle times, increase customer satisfaction, and help manage costs.
