Compare Backlist vs. Portal Wholesale CRM

Backlist is an innovative software solution designed for car dealers to acquire vehicles from private sellers in real time. It monitors platforms such as Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Autotrader, Cars.com, and eBay, efficiently filtering out duplicate listings and those disguised by dealers, while promptly notifying buyers when a private seller lists a vehicle that fits their specified criteria, including make, model, year, price, mileage, and location. Each listing is evaluated against both wholesale and retail market values, providing buyers with essential margin information prior to making any calls. The integrated CRM system meticulously tracks every lead from initial outreach to final sale, incorporating features like team pipelines, seller phone detection, and SMS/email communication tools. Backlist is favored by independent dealers, franchise used-car departments, multi-rooftop groups, and wholesalers as a means to secure inventory directly from owners instead of relying on auctions. The pricing is flexible with month-to-month options starting at $775, without requiring an annual commitment, plus a complimentary trial period. Users can access the service through a web dashboard as well as an iOS application, ensuring convenience and efficiency in their vehicle acquisition process.
