Online Sales Channels

Manheim offer a variety of online sales channels in order to remarket vehicles as quickly and effectively for our customers.

Simulcast

Manheim pioneered the implementation of Simulcast online auction systems in New Zealand. Using the very latest web-cam and internet streaming technology, Simulcast allows the buyer to see and hear all the action from the physical auction from the comfort of their own home, office or dealership. They can bid and buy vehicles in real-time with the click of their mouse, competing against other online bidders as well as those actually in the auction lane.

All online bids are notified in the auction lane by a flashing screen and are acknowledged by the auctioneer. This ensures total transparency of the process as each bid is shown to the public as it is received which ensures active participation and better resale values in a totally trustworthy environment.

Simulcast motorcycles grown in popularity as both buyers and sellers have quickly adopted the technology realising the significant benefits to all. Across the business year to date over 30% of sales have been via Simulcast.
