How APS BidBuddy Optimiser Maximizes Your Salvage Vehicle Buys.
In this podcast episode Georgia and Chris Daglis unpack how APS’s Bid Buddy Optimiser is helping automotive recyclers make smarter, data-led salvage buying decisions. Chris explains why accurate buying is fundamental to profitability and how APS works with individual yards to tailor their Bid Buddy settings based on real sales and stock data. The episode also touches on industry events like the URG Conference and the exciting launch of APS’s AI Digital Assistant, Ari.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Profitability Starts with Smarter Buying
Getting the purchase right from the start is critical for success in auto recycling.
Bid Buddy is Powerful—If Set Up Properly
Many recyclers use Bid Buddy, but default or “vanilla” settings often don’t reflect their actual business. APS helps optimise these settings using each yard’s unique data.
Bid Buddy Optimiser is a Bespoke Consulting Service
This isn’t just another tool. APS provides tailored advice and recommendations based on your Pinnacle or Powerlink data, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Say Goodbye to Bad Buys
Steer clear of vehicles that historically don’t perform well for your business—freeing up cash for smarter purchases that turn quicker and generate more profit.
Foundations Matter
You shouldn’t rely on Bid Buddy without properly set foundations. Correct settings = consistent, better results.
It’s Not Set and Forget
Markets shift. Buying habits evolve. Bid Buddy Optimiser includes regular reviews (typically quarterly or bi-annually) to keep your settings aligned with your current trends.
Endorsed by Bid Buddy’s Creator
Mike Lambert, the creator of Bid Buddy, actively supports APS’s work because it helps recyclers get the most from his platform.
You’ve Already Got the Data—Use It
Your systems already hold powerful insights. APS simply helps you unlock and apply them to your buying strategy.
