Mission
Innovating a one-world market for automotiveTM
We’re creating the industry market of tomorrow by leveraging the most advanced technologies available today. It’s our goal to bring a unique, practical and efficient user experience to a global industry of car business users.
From appraising, grading, bidding and buying, to selling, shipping and floor plan lending – dealers, vendors, manufacturers and ultimately consumers, converge within a simple, unified complete market to efficiently conduct business.
Term contracts, costly fees, multiple log-ins, and disparate applications finally go away. In its place: advanced technology with predictive analytics, resulting in a measurable increase of user efficiency and dealer profitability.
Our objective is tall – migrate an industry of habit into a culture of change. DMX is innovating that change with passion, ingenuity and world-class talent.
