Dealer acquisition platform
LoomBids helps dealers manage more vehicles, more buyers and more auction opportunities through one controlled acquisition operation.
Your team finds the opportunities. You set the rules. LoomBids handles the execution.
Built for dealers, brokers and exporters who buy at salvage and wholesale auctions.
The problem
A dealer can find far more vehicles worth buying than one person can watch and execute. So the buying operation runs on open tabs, overlapping lanes, WhatsApp threads and memory.
The problem is not placing bids. The problem is that the whole buying operation depends on one person's attention.
A different way to buy
LoomBids turns people, lots, budgets and limits into a single, controlled acquisition operation. Your team adds candidates. You set the rules. LoomBids executes within them and stops when the target is reached.
You and your team add the vehicles you are willing to buy. Each one gets a maximum.
Group vehicles by category, branch, buyer or client. Each group gets its own target and budget.
How many vehicles, how much capital, max per vehicle, limits per group and per person.
When a vehicle comes up, it acts within the rules. No lane-watching required.
Every result is tied to who configured it and under which limits.
Favorites that still need a maximum.
Configured, with a max and a group. Not started yet.
Lane running. Current price next to your max.
Won, lost or expired, with the final price and who set it up.
Instead of managing individual bids, LoomBids manages the buying operation.
What changes
01 Capacity
One person can follow a handful of lanes. With LoomBids, dozens of candidate vehicles can be active at the same time, across yards, lanes, sale days and times. Coverage stops depending on who is sitting in front of which screen.
02 Control
More capacity is only useful when it is disciplined. You define how many vehicles to buy, how much capital to deploy, the maximum per vehicle, and the limits for each group and each person. When a limit is reached, buying stops.
03 Execution
A list of good vehicles is worth nothing if nobody is there when they sell. LoomBids monitors the vehicles your team configured and executes when they come up, within the rules you defined. You can watch or step in at any time; the operation keeps running when you step away.
04 Scale
A traditional dealer scales buying by adding buyers, hours, coordination, messages and risk. LoomBids offers another path: more auction coverage, more sourcing capacity and more people participating, under one acquisition strategy, without turning the owner into the bottleneck.

Teams
Distributed sourcing. Centralized control.
Give controlled access to your buyers, your branches, your partners, your inspectors or your trusted customers. Each of them searches for vehicles and proposes a maximum inside the limits you gave them. Your auction account never leaves your hands.
Opportunity pool
Say you need five pickups this week. You do not need to win five specific lots. You need thirty good candidates, and the first five that land inside your economics. LoomBids is built for that way of buying.
One vehicle at a time. Win or lose. Start again.
A pool of candidates. A target. A budget. The right ones get bought; the rest do not matter.
A maximum bid is one number. The purchase is many: fees, transport, repairs, expected margin. LoomBids is moving toward managing acquisition budgets and target landed cost as part of the strategy, so the limits you set reflect the vehicle's real cost, not only the hammer price.
Who it is for
Why LoomBids
Automatic bidding tools exist, and some are built into the auction platforms themselves. They answer one question: "Will it bid for me on this lot?" LoomBids answers a different one: "How much more could I buy if my whole acquisition operation were organized this way?"
Execution is the engine. The operation is the product.
An autobidder works one lot at a time. LoomBids works a pool of candidates toward a target.
An autobidder knows a maximum. LoomBids knows how many vehicles, how much capital, and when to stop.
An autobidder is one person's tool. LoomBids is a buying network with limits per person and no shared credentials.
An autobidder leaves a bid. LoomBids leaves an operation: who configured what, under which limits, with what result.
| Manual buying operation | LoomBids buying operation | |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | As many lanes as people can watch | Dozens of candidates active at once |
| Budget | Tracked mentally, checked afterwards | Set in advance, enforced by the system |
| Limits | Hard to enforce in the moment | Per vehicle, per group, per person. Stops at target |
| Team | Links over chat, owner approves everything | Sub-accounts with their own limits, no shared credentials |
| Same lot, two people | They compete, or someone has to catch it | One maximum per vehicle, automatically |
| Execution | Someone must be present when it sells | Monitored and executed within the rules |
| Record | Scattered across messages and memory | Every vehicle tied to who configured it and under which limits |
| Growth | More people, more hours, more coordination | More capacity, same operational control |
Where this is going
Dealers buy on more than one platform, with more than one person, under more than one budget. LoomBids is being built as the layer that holds all of it: the candidates, the people, the rules, the capital and the execution, in one controlled operation. It works with Copart today. The operation model is the same wherever you buy, and that is where LoomBids is headed.
