Transforming the Wholesale Experience with the New Manheim App
Manheim is stepping into a dynamic new era of wholesale dealership, where clients have the power to choose their outcomes instead of just channels. The latest announcement brings exciting updates: a refreshed Manheim mobile app that introduces a suite of intelligent innovations aimed at simplifying and enriching the client experience. These enhancements are part of a holistic approach that connects digital and physical realms, redefining the journey within the world’s largest wholesale marketplace.
Innovative Features for Enhanced Convenience
Launching at the 2026 NADA Show, the redesigned Manheim mobile app equips dealers with tools to effortlessly browse, scan, bid, and purchase vehicles on the go. This advanced app serves as a modern command center designed to cater to the fast-paced needs of today’s wholesale market. With features like instant VIN scanning, swift access to Market Model Reports (MMR), streamlined searching options, real-time alerts, and an improved Simulcast experience, users can now easily focus on identifying the right vehicles more efficiently. Its intuitive, mobile-first interface not only complements desktop operations but also empowers dealers by bringing the Manheim Marketplace directly to their fingertips.
Building Bridges Between Buyers and Sellers
This innovative app is crafted to enhance buyers' ability to engage with inventory effectively while also providing sellers with the visibility and results they aim for. Sellers still retain access to the familiar Selling Center features from the older mobile application. With further enhancements planned for both buyers and sellers, the mobile app will continue to evolve throughout 2026 and beyond.
Alongside the app’s release, Manheim has activated other advanced innovations in support of its vision for a more connected marketplace. Features like the MMR Range, Inventory Curation, and an evolved Condition Report experience actively contribute to creating a seamless wholesale journey where all aspects of discovery, decision-making, and transactions are intertwined smoothly.
Harnessing AI for an Intelligent Marketplace
Central to this marketplace transformation is a strong foundation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) courtesy of Cox Automotive's technology. AI is already integrated into critical tools including MMR valuations and personalized inventory recommendations, empowering clients to make informed decisions driven by real-time insights and data. However, the power of AI extends beyond technology; it enriches the human aspect of the business, enhancing client support and interactions.
The Role of Human Expertise
Manheim's journey would not be possible without its dedicated teams. They are at the core of the marketplace evolution, and Manheim is committed to augmenting these teams with advanced tools, data, and insights. Each client is supported by a connected network of specialists who help shape strategies, prepare inventories for sales, and facilitate the movement of vehicles to their ideal buyers, enabling a more streamlined and transparent experience.
The integration of AI into Manheim’s support systems amplifies the capabilities of these teams, enabling them to provide clients with the speed and precision necessary to make confident buying decisions and optimize results.
A Client-Centric Vision
With dealer expectations evolving toward enhanced efficiency and channel flexibility, Manheim's unified marketplace approach is poised to set a groundbreaking standard in the industry. By blending extensive scale, operational prowess, expertise, and AI, the platform enables clients to focus on outcomes rather than channels, allowing Manheim to manage the entire process seamlessly.

Our ambition is for dealers to notice the difference in their daily operations through improved insights, superior listings, and meaningful results.
