Use Cases

Salvage Valuation Modeling

Build pricing models using loss type, damage location, mileage, title status, and vehicle specs. Compare across branches and states to identify regional price variations.

Theft Recovery Analysis

Filter by loss type to study theft recovery patterns by make, model, and state. Identify which vehicles are most frequently recovered and their typical condition at auction.

Inventory Sourcing

Monitor auction listings by vehicle class, drivetrain, and branch location to find inventory matching rebuild or parts sourcing criteria. Track run-and-drive status and key availability.

Market Trend Research

Track shifts in loss type distribution, vehicle class mix, and geographic auction volume over time. Analyze how catastrophe events and seasonal patterns affect regional supply.
