First in Salvage Vehicle Industry to Offer Buyers Over 30 Search
and Filter Options
WESTCHESTER, Ill., April 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Insurance
Auto Auctions, Inc. (IAA) today announced the launch of IAA Fast
Search™, the salvage vehicle industry's most comprehensive search
tool. With over 30 vehicle search and filter options, IAA Fast
Search™ provides vehicle buyers with a smart, mobile-friendly tool
that delivers more efficient and more accurate search results. The
innovative Fast Search functionality complements the recently
announced enhancements to IAA's Vehicle Details™ feature on
IAAI.com. Together, these launches help advance IAA's strategy to
deliver increased customer value through technology and
innovation.
"IAA is committed to continuously improving and simplifying the
buyer experience," said John Kett,
CEO and president of IAA. "Fast Search reduces the time-intensive
task of sourcing specific vehicles by enabling buyers to search
with both speed and precision. This ultimately helps them bid and
buy with greater knowledge, confidence and convenience."
Additional functionality of the Fast Search technology, which is
available on desktop and mobile devices, allows buyers to recall
previous searches and quickly pick up where they left off. Buyers
can also easily add or remove filters, such as odometer reading,
vehicle type or loss type, to refine or expand results at any point
during a search.
"We know time and efficiency are highly valued commodities for
our buyers," said Jeanene O'Brien,
senior vice president of global marketing. "So we built them a
comprehensive and intuitive search tool to help them make better
informed decisions more quickly. Fast Search and our growing suite
of customer tools, resources and technology help IAA deliver an
unmatched buying experience."
As an industry leader in technology and innovation, IAA has
announced 27 new tools and enhancements since January 2010 that anticipate and address the
needs of salvage buyers and sellers. The company was the first to
invest beyond the physical auction and provide sellers with
technology solutions that decrease cycle time, increase customer
satisfaction and help manage costs. In 2010, IAA introduced
CSAToday®, the salvage industry's first mobile seller vehicle
inventory management tool, followed by the 2011 release of the
first live bidding app for Apple and Android. In 2013, IAA's Market
Value™ tool became the first salvage vehicle value tool app
released for iPhones. In 2015, IAA released the IAA Total Loss
Solutions® suite of products, which has since been supplemented
with seven additional customer tools and enhancements. Last month,
the company launched its enhanced IAA Vehicle Details™ page, which
provides buyers instant access to an industry-leading 320 VIN
attributes on any vehicle.
