Vast Adds Predictive Analytics Feature to CarStory Platform

 

1 min to read


AUSTIN, Texas — CarStory, the automotive AI platform from Vast, unveiled CarStory Insights, a new feature designed to predict when cars will sell and for how much.

CarStory Insights builds on 12 years of data and analytics expertise. Combining this with AI and machine learning, the feature alerts dealers to issues on their lot before they cost them profits. For the first time, dealers can use the power of AI to sell cars at the right time, for the right price, maximizing inventory turn and profit, all according to Vast CEO John Price.

“With CarStory Insights, dealers can stop guessing and start knowing,” Price said. “It not only predicts which vehicles will cut into your profits, but also gives recommendations on what steps to take next. There is nothing else like it on the market today.”

An expansion of CarStory’s proven analytics and AI platform, Insights was designed to constantly analyze a dealer’s lot to provide timely alerts, accurate sales predictions, and smart pricing recommendations. Instead of scanning historical automotive data to make inferences on sales, Insights uses predictive analytics to see the trends that are coming. As a result, dealers are empowered to make more intelligent sales decisions, increasing their efficiency by eliminating the need to constantly monitor the market, according to the company.
