Carketa

Carketa focuses on rethinking the experience of selling used cars, allowing independent and franchised car dealers to optimize every aspect of their representative offices, the startup website says.

Carketa automates the search process and helps dealers sell more cars faster. With Carketa Recon, the dealer can load his reserves with Dealer Management Software (DMS) and manage his vehicles from purchase to purchase by the customer through active inventory management and vehicle valuation. With Carketa Connect, dealers and customers can track the car throughout the process, often selling the car before it is ready.

Carketa fundamentally changes the current processes for dealers, closely interacting with the Carketa Condition Report, a 200 + point verification system that details the current state of the car^[1]
