I can speak strongly on the acquisition side. I have a team of 4 (myself included) that use Stockwave. As far as I know, it's the best at aggregating available inventory across multiple platforms and auction houses. The searches and filters are incredibly buggy but we've found decent workarounds that allow us to key in on what we want to buy. If I had a developer and a few weeks I could likely make it pretty powerful but it seems Cox has all but abandoned development on the platform. It's still the best out there I know to look at as many cars as possible in the shortest amount of time, and it's not terribly expensive. If there's something better I'm all ears.

Transportation logistics is kind of a mess across the board. No matter who you use, cars are going to arrive outside of standard arbitration windows so having someone on the ground checking them in and driving them asap is key.

We use RapidRecon to track cars through the process but I'm hands off when it came to its implementation and usage.
