New AccuTrade IMS Available at NADA 2026 Delivers Accurate Appraisals, Optimized Inventory Turn and Maximized Front-end Gross Profit on Every VIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AccuTrade®, a solution from Cars.com Inc. (NYSE: CARS) (d/b/a “Cars Commerce Inc.”), has unveiled new technology built to maximize gross profit in the used-car business. The new AccuTrade Inventory Management System (IMS) gives dealers instant online visibility and offers the fastest path to profit from acquisition to retail or wholesale by combining precise appraisals, VIN-level risk scoring and end-to-end integration with Cars.com, Dealer Inspire and DealerClub. AccuTrade IMS, along with several other new technology additions, will be available at the National Automobile Dealers Association Show (NADA) Feb. 4-6 in Las Vegas.

“Used-car profitability is a huge opportunity in 2026, and AccuTrade is built to help dealers capture it,” said Joe Oliveri, senior director of product for AccuTrade. “We equip dealers with proprietary data and essential appraisal and valuation tools, then meet them when they’re ready to scale with one connected inventory management platform that enables smarter pricing and seamless retail or wholesale decisions. The goal is simple: profitable exits, every time.”

AccuTrade IMS enables a fully connected acquisition-to-retail (or wholesale) journey and is focused on VIN-level risk, profit forecasting and integrated acquisition ecosystems to help dealers evolve beyond turn-based thinking.

Highlights of the new technology include:

  • Unmatched precision. With one of the most precise appraisal engines in the industry, AccuTrade IMS delivers VIN-specific deductions with no manual guessing, real-time competitive data and adjusted daily values.
  • Risk-based inventory management. The tool evaluates every vehicle by risk, not age. The proprietary intelligence score includes traits such as vehicle pedigree, dealer fit, market fit, projected days on market and daily depreciation — all of which help dealers avoid the race to the bottom. It also turns 20-minute merchandising chores into 45-second wins with AI-generated seller notes.
  • Profit forecasting and exit strategy. AccuTrade displays retail versus wholesale profit predictions at the VIN-level and offers instant liquidation options through integrations with DealerClub’s dealer-to-dealer wholesale network or AccuTrade’s Instant Offer feature on Cars.com. This data helps dealers make the most profitable exit strategy for every VIN.
  • Single-platform solution. AccuTrade IMS stands out through its connected workflow across the Cars Commerce ecosystem. Dealers are able to appraise, price, merchandise, syndicate with real-time sync, and retail or wholesale vehicles on one connected system, maximizing efficiency.
  • Built-in accountability across appraisers. AccuTrade IMS delivers appraisal efficiency reporting, insights into the profit funnel and transparency on capture rates, gross profit and decision quality, ensuring dealerships can measure effectiveness throughout the process.

Building on AccuTrade’s core appraisal and valuation tools, the company has added more features and deeper value to the product over the past year, such as AI-powered vehicle descriptions, driveway and service drive appraisals, online chat, Universal Condition Reports, real-time inventory updates to Cars.com, DMS integration and more. As part of the solution’s new Service Drive feature, automated SMS texting will soon be available to capture more acquisitions from the service lane. 

To learn more about AccuTrade’s new technology and tiered product structure, visit the Cars Commerce booth #3723W at the NADA Show Feb. 4-6 in Las Vegas. Visitors can also participate in the DealerClub Live No-Reserve Auction in the booth Feb. 4 from 1-5 p.m. and the DealerClub Pricing Game Feb. 5 from 1-5 p.m. local time.

AI Crypto Trading Secrets: What They Won’t Tell You About Profits and Pitfalls|9-Figure Media

AI Crypto Trading Secrets: What They Won’t Tell You About Profits and Pitfalls|9-Figure Media

AI crypto trading is everywhere, and every YouTube guru claims their bot mints money while they sleep. Sounds dreamy, right? However, most don’t discuss the full story, the wild profits possible, and the lurking pitfalls. As someone obsessed with the intersection of artificial intelligence and digital assets, let me pull back the curtain on the realities of algorithmic trading in the crypto jungle. Here’s what nobody tells you: 87% of retail traders using automated systems lose money within their first year. The marketing materials show cherry-picked results. The testimonials come from paid affiliates. But here’s the twist. The remaining 13% who succeed aren’t just lucky. They understand something the majority misses entirely. The Reality Behind the Hype The crypto world loves success stories. You’ve probably seen them. “I made $50,000 in three months using this bot.” What they don’t mention? The $200,000 they lost by testing seventeen other systems first. Real talk: most trading algorithms fail because they’re built for perfect market conditions. Crypto markets are anything but perfect. Think about it like this. Would you trust a Formula 1 car to handle rush hour traffic? That’s essentially what most people do with their trading bots. Why Smart Money Uses Crypto AI Tools Differently Professional traders approach crypto AI tools with surgical precision. They don’t expect miracles. They expect consistent, measured results. The difference lies in understanding what these tools actually do well: • Risk management automation • Pattern recognition at scale • Emotional bias elimination • 24/7 market monitoring • Portfolio rebalancing Notice what’s missing from that list? Get-rich-quick schemes. The smartest crypto AI tools focus on protecting capital first. Profits come second. This mindset separates winners from losers. Here’s something interesting. 9-figure media companies track these patterns religiously. They know which crypto AI tools produce sustainable results versus flashy short-term gains. Professional traders using crypto AI tools typically target 15–25% annual returns. Not 500% monthly moonshots. The Startup Connection Most People Ignore AI for startups isn’t just about building the next ChatGPT. Many successful companies use AI to optimize their crypto treasury management. Smart startups integrate crypto AI tools into their financial operations early. They automate routine decisions. They reduce human error. They scale their trading operations without hiring armies of analysts. But here’s where it gets interesting. The best AI for startup applications in crypto aren’t the obvious ones. Consider automated tax reporting. Or real-time compliance monitoring. Or treasury optimization across multiple blockchains. These unsexy applications generate more consistent profits than flashy trading algorithms. AI for startups in the crypto space succeeds when it solves boring problems efficiently. Not when it promises unrealistic returns. The most successful AI for startups implementations focus on operational efficiency. They reduce costs. They minimize risks. They free up human resources for strategic decisions. Learning from Top AI Start-Ups Top AI start-ups in the crypto space share common characteristics. They prioritize transparency over marketing hype. Look at successful top AI start-ups like Chainalysis or Elliptic. They don’t promise easy money. They provide essential infrastructure. The best top AI start-ups focus on solving real problems: • Market data analysis • Security monitoring • Regulatory compliance • Portfolio analytics • Risk assessment These top AI start-ups understand something crucial. Sustainable businesses solve actual problems. They don’t just ride hype cycles. 9-figure media outlets consistently highlight these fundamental companies. They ignore the noise. They focus on substance. Many top AI start-ups actually discourage retail trading. They know the odds. They’ve seen the casualties. Instead, successful top AI start-ups build tools for institutions. Banks. Hedge funds. Companies with proper risk management systems. The Hidden Costs Nobody Discusses Using crypto AI tools costs more than subscription fees. Much more. First, there’s the learning curve. Most people spend months figuring out proper settings. During this time, they’re paying tuition to the market. Second, there’s infrastructure. Reliable crypto AI tools require stable internet, backup systems, and proper security measures. Third, there’s opportunity cost. Time spent tweaking algorithms could be spent learning fundamental analysis. The real cost? Most people using crypto AI tools trade more frequently. Increased trading usually means increased losses. Think about 9-figure media companies again. They understand that technology amplifies existing skills. It doesn’t replace them. Smart Implementation Strategies Successful crypto AI tools users follow specific patterns: • Start with paper trading • Use position sizing rules • Set strict stop losses • Monitor performance weekly • Adjust strategies quarterly They treat crypto AI tools like any other business tool. With respect. With caution. With realistic expectations, startup applications work similarly. They augment human decision-making. They don’t replace it. The most successful AI for startups implementations in crypto involve human oversight at every level. Algorithms suggest. Humans decide. What Actually Works Here’s what separates successful crypto AI tools users from everyone else: They focus on consistency over home runs. They understand that small, regular gains compound better than occasional big wins followed by devastating losses. They apply AI principles to their approach for startups. They iterate quickly. They fail fast. They learn constantly. They study top AI start-ups for inspiration. But they don’t try to replicate their exact strategies. Most importantly, they never risk money they can’t afford to lose. The crypto market will humble anyone. AI doesn’t change this fundamental truth. Your success with crypto AI tools depends more on your discipline than the sophistication of your algorithms. Remember: the house always has an edge. Your job is to find where that edge doesn’t apply. That’s the secret they won’t tell you.
