The new Bulk-Launch feature within the My Inventory section of My ACV allows you to launch multiple vehicles at the same time. This saves valuable time from having to individually launch vehicles to auction. See below for a list of FAQs, a walkthrough video, and detailed instructions for any additional support.
You can launch up to 15 vehicles at one time.
You can still launch vehicles individually. All you need to do is hover over the status of Ready For Private Auction or Ready To Launch and as soon as the Send to ACV button displays, click on it, and the system will take you via the Single-Launch route.
You can launch vehicles from different dealerships. The system knows which dealerships the vehicles belong to and the system will bring up the correct pickup location.
Not at this time. The vehicles that you will be launching must have the same Auction Listing as well as the same Auction Timing.
Yes, it will. Each vehicle will have its own box (e.g., labeled Vehicle 01, Vehicle 02) and all of its information will be displayed there to help you with your pricing strategy.
Yes. Once you have entered all of the required information and double checked it, when you confirm that the reserve prices are correct and click Launch Vehicles, the vehicles will launch approximately one second apart. When all of the vehicles have launched, the system will take you back to your My Inventory page and you will receive a banner at the bottom of your My Inventory page telling you how many vehicles were launched.
For Bulk-Launch we have two colors for Vehicle Condition … green and red. If the vehicle was inspected by a VCI, whichever color the VCI selected will populate in this field. You have the freedom to change the color from red to green or green to red. The exception is if the condition comes over as a Forced Red Light for vehicles that are 175,000+ miles, True Mileage Unknown, Inoperable, or certain categories (e.g., powersports, trailer, ATV, jet boats). If the condition comes over as a Forced Red Light the red light is disabled and it cannot be changed.
If the vehicles all have the same pickup address all you will need to do is select the address for Vehicle 01 from the drop down list and once it’s selected, click the box underneath the address that says Apply this location to vehicles in this dealership. When this box is clicked, the system will assign the address to all vehicles, as long as all of the vehicles are in the same dealership.
Each vehicle will have a link with the word Remove with a trash can in its upper right corner. When you click this link, it will ask you if you’re sure you want to remove this vehicle. When you confirm by clicking the Remove button, the system will remove it from your list and you can launch it at a later time.
If there are vehicles that are not eligible for a specific Auction Listing and Auction Type those vehicles will display at the bottom of the screen under Non-Eligible Vehicle and will provide the reason why it will not be launching with the rest of the vehicles. You can still do a single launch on these vehicles, launching them to the proper Auction Type.
This new feature is being rolled out gradually, please reach out to your ACV Representative if you would like to be added to the waitlist.
