Part-Exchange Management Software for Irish Dealer Groups
appraisee is part-exchange management software built for Irish dealer groups. It gives every dealership a consistent appraisal process and gives Group management one central view of every part exchange, from the initial appraisal and valuation through to reconditioning, disposal and the final outcome.
Control your part-exchange process across the Group
- Should the originating dealership retail it?
- Would another dealership within the Group be better placed to sell it?
- Should the vehicle be offered to the Trade?
- Should it go to auction?
- What did the Group ultimately achieve from the vehicle?
One consistent process across the Group
Every potential part exchange, whether generated in the showroom or online, enters the same structured appraisal process.
Vehicle details, photographs, condition, valuation, service history, estimated reconditioning costs and appraisal history are captured in one central platform.
This gives Group management a consistent view of the vehicles being acquired across every dealership.
From individual appraisal to Group decision
The process starts at dealership level.
Identify
Capture every potential part exchange at the point of sale, ensuring opportunities are recorded and visible across the Group.
Appraise
Capture the vehicle digitally through the appraisee app or Price My Car, including vehicle details, condition, photographs, keys and service history.
Value
Use the information captured during the appraisal, alongside available market data and estimated reconditioning costs, to assess the vehicle and agree an appropriate value.
Prepare
Identify the work required to prepare the vehicle for its next stage, including reconditioning requirements and estimated costs.
Decide
Assess the vehicle against the Group’s retail strategy, expected costs, market demand and available disposal routes. The vehicle is then assigned to the most appropriate route:
- Retail at the originating dealership
- Transfer to another Group dealership
- Trade disposal
- Auction
Dispose
The vehicle follows the selected disposal route, giving the Group a clear record of where each vehicle goes and why.
Report
The final outcome becomes part of the Group’s management information, providing visibility of acquisition, valuation, costs, disposal and performance. Together, these seven steps create a complete record for every vehicle, from initial identification through to final disposal.
Capture showroom and online appraisals
Price My Car extends the same process beyond the dealership.
Customers submit their vehicle details and photographs online before visiting the dealership.
The appraisal enters the same central appraisee platform as an appraisal completed by a salesperson.
This gives dealerships and Group management visibility of potential part exchanges before the customer arrives.
Give Group management one central view
As a dealer group grows, maintaining a consistent part-exchange process across dealerships becomes harder.
appraisee gives Group management one central view of what is happening across the business.
You can see:
- Trade-in volumes
- Win and loss rates
- Vehicle values
- Estimated reconditioning costs
- Actual reconditioning costs
- Time taken to price vehicles
- Disposal routes
- Dealership performance
- Team performance
- Vehicle outcomes
- Complete appraisal history
This turns individual appraisals into Group-level management information.
Compare dealerships and identify opportunities
Group-level reporting helps management understand how each dealership is performing.
For example:
- Is one dealership winning more part exchanges than another?
- Are some dealerships taking longer to price vehicles?
- Are estimated reconditioning costs in line with actual costs?
- Are some vehicles being sent to auction when another dealership within the Group has demand for them?
- Are particular dealerships or teams consistently acquiring vehicles with better commercial outcomes?
- appraisee provides the data needed to answer these questions.
Decide where every vehicle creates the most value
The objective is not simply to dispose of vehicles a dealership does not want.
The objective is to make better decisions about every vehicle the Group acquires.
A vehicle which does not suit the originating dealership might still be a good retail opportunity elsewhere in the Group.
appraisee gives Group management the visibility to identify those opportunities.
The decision might be:
- Originating dealership → Retail
- Dealership A → Dealership B → Retail
- Dealership → Trade
- Dealership → Auction
- The Group decides the route.
- appraisee provides the information and process behind the decision.
Connect acquisition with reconditioning
For vehicles being retained for retail, appraisee connects with Prep My Vehicle.
This links information gathered during the appraisal with the vehicle preparation process.
Dealerships and Group management gain greater visibility of the work required, associated costs and how long vehicles spend in the reconditioning process.
More than a disposal platform
Trade buyers and auction platforms become relevant once a vehicle has been identified as unsuitable for retail.
appraisee starts much earlier.
- Every potential part exchange enters the same process.
- Salespeople follow a structured appraisal.
- Managers receive the information needed to assess and price the vehicle.

It brings the appraisal, valuation, reconditioning, disposal and reporting process together in one platform, giving Group management the information needed to make better decisions about every vehicle acquired.

appraisee is a standalone part-exchange management platform, so dealerships can use appraisee alongside their existing CRM and other dealership systems.
This means a Group does not need to replace its existing CRM to introduce appraisee.

Where an integration with an existing system is required, appraisee supports selected integrations and continues to develop connectivity with relevant automotive systems.
appraisee captures estimated reconditioning costs as part of the appraisal process.
This gives managers visibility of potential preparation costs when assessing what to pay for a part exchange.
Once the vehicle enters the preparation process, actual costs can be recorded and compared with the original estimate.
Group management can then compare estimated and actual reconditioning costs across dealerships, teams and vehicles.
This helps identify where costs are consistently higher than expected and provides better data for future appraisal and acquisition decisions.
appraisee gives Group management the information needed to make better disposal decisions.
A vehicle acquired by one dealership might be suitable for retail elsewhere in the Group. Other vehicles might be better suited to Trade or auction.
appraisee provides visibility of the vehicle, its valuation, condition, estimated reconditioning costs and appraisal history before the disposal decision is made.
The Group decides the most appropriate route:
- Retail at the originating dealership
- Transfer to another Group dealership
- Trade disposal
- Auction
This gives management greater control over where vehicles are retailed or disposed of across the Group.
appraisee is designed for multi-site dealer groups, with each dealership operating within the same central platform.
Rollout starts with setting up the Group structure, dealerships, users and permissions. Each location then follows the same structured appraisal process.
As the Group adds dealerships or users, they can be added to the existing platform without changing the underlying process.
We support implementation with user setup, training and guidance to help dealerships adopt a consistent approach from the start.
