Manheim's Simulcast Now Apple-Compatible

Vehicle remarketing services provider Manheim released the Simulcast multi-browser feature, which enables customers to enter a Simulcast sale on a Mac computer, in mid-December. This advancement gives customers the ability to attend a Simulcast sale on multiple browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari – whether they are using a PC or a Mac. Simulcast’s multi-browser capabilities give customers the flexibility to choose the type of computer and browser they prefer, custom-fitting their Simulcast experience.

"This new ability of Simulcast is in direct response to customer requests. We recognize that some of our customers are PC users; some of our customers are Mac users, and each customer has a different browser preference," said Joe George, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Manheim. "(The) multi-browser feature expands our marketplace and allows us to better cater to each customer’s needs and wants..."

Celebrating ten years this year, Simulcast revolutionized the remarketing industry when it debuted in 2002. With an average of 13,000 dealerships attending a Manheim Simulcast sale every week, it now accounts for roughly sixteen percent of Manheim’s sales.

This upgrade comes on the heels of two other major advancements in the product line that occurred this year. Simulcast Everywhere, which debuted at the 2012 National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Convention & Expo, is a digital auction platform that blends a live auction with an OVE.com-style environment, meaning the vehicles, the buyers, and the auctioneer can be located anywhere. The other recent upgrade, Simulcast AV Solution, offers customers enhanced video quality.
