Does it work for international markets?

It is fully optimized for the US market where demand data is available. For the UK, it provides supply snapshots but skips sell-through predictions due to lack of historical demand data.

Can I plan for specific car models instead of just categories?

Yes, the skill includes a specific 'Model-Level Lane Planning' workflow to identify the fastest-turning specific makes and models for feature placement.

How does Lane Planner calculate demand?

It compares historical sold data from the most recent complete month against current active inventory to create a Demand/Supply (D/S) ratio, identifying which segments are undersupplied.

What data sources does this skill use?

The skill utilizes the Marketcheck API to pull sold summaries, active listing facets, and pricing statistics across specific states or regions.

How are lane slots allocated by the skill?

Slots are distributed proportionally based on demand signals: HOT segments receive 40% of lanes, WARM segments 35%, COOL segments 15%, and specialty segments 10%.

Optimizes auction lane inventory by analyzing demand signals and predicting vehicle sell-through rates.

The Lane Planner skill enables auction managers and sales executives to make data-driven decisions for weekly vehicle lineups by analyzing regional supply and demand. By fetching real-time sold summaries and active inventory data via the Marketcheck API, it calculates critical metrics like Demand/Supply (D/S) ratios, volume trends, and predicted hammer prices. This skill automates the complex task of allocating lane slots across various vehicle segments—such as SUVs, Pickups, and Sedans—to maximize bidder engagement, sell-through percentage, and total fee revenue.
