Market Velocity Analytics

A used-car buyer is heading to auction with a shopping list but has been burned buying slow-moving segments before.

Some vehicles look cheap in the lane but sit 90+ days on the lot. The buyer needs a fast filter for what the local market actually absorbs.

Before bidding, the buyer opens Market Days Supply on their phone and checks the 90-day velocity for each target trim. Anything over 75 days supply gets crossed off the list.

A manager is reviewing inventory aging and notices several units of the same model sitting 40+ days.

It is unclear whether the aging is a pricing problem, a market problem, or a merchandising problem.

Market Days Supply shows the trim-level panel is running at high days supply regionally and trending upward -- the whole segment is softening, not just this lot.

A customer wants to trade in a vehicle, and the sales desk wants to make a strong offer to close the deal.

Overextending on a trade that sits for months costs more in floor plan interest than the profit on the front end. The manager needs a fast read on local demand before committing.

Market Days Supply filtered to the trade-in's segment shows healthy velocity at under 40 days supply. The manager books the trade at the top of the ACV range with confidence.
