Auto Trader has also actively integrated with hundreds of technology partners through its Connect API Platform, including lenders, OEMs, and regulators. This collaboration has allowed the industry to navigate the market like never before, driving performance and acting with confidence.

While its tools alone are impressive, Auto Trader’s commitment to share best practice insights also impressed the dealer community which voted in this category.

Through its Insight Academy, Auto Trader offers masterclasses on key retailing topics designed to improve performance. Delivered in bitesize format, they build on the business’s efforts to provide valuable insights and tools to their partners.

Auto Trader has undoubtedly become a trusted supplier of choice, reflected in three years of growth in terms of the number of retailers who have chosen to partner with it.

A clue to how integral its data has become to informing key retail decisions is provided in the fact that its valuations data was used around 240 million times last year. And, since the launch of its Connect API platform, around 9,500 retailers are now benefiting from the services it provides

Retailers trust Auto Trader to drive performance, and have placed its solutions, data and technology at the heart of their businesses. It is a testament to their trust in Auto Trader that the business was voted Supplier of the Year.
