VAN Loop™: Seller conversations, on the vehicle record in VAN.
VAN Loop™ is a Chrome extension for dealership buy centers. Your buyers keep messaging sellers from their own profiles. VAN Loop files each thread on the car in VAN, so the next buyer reads it before the first call. Any car they find, they add from the ad in one click. Included with a VAN subscription.
Every conversation, on the record
Buyers message sellers from their own profiles. VAN Loop tracks each thread on the vehicle page in VAN, with a sync status beside it. A manager sees who said what, what was offered, and when. Two buyers working the same seller shows up on the record. The next buyer reads the whole thread before the first call.
The vehicle page, beside the listing
Open an ad on a marketplace VAN monitors and the VAN vehicle page sits beside it in the side panel. From a car in VAN, jump to the original ad. Log the offer and set the follow-up without leaving the site.
Add any car you find
Found a vehicle VAN has not surfaced? Click Add on the ad. VAN Loop reads the page and fills in the listing form. Check it, confirm, and the car is in VAN, ready to work.
Reporting built from real conversations
The private-seller funnel your managers watch in VAN PACE™, VAN’s own acquisition reporting, includes the real conversations, not just what someone remembered to log.
What is VAN Loop™?
VAN Loop™ is a Chrome extension from Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN), a vehicle acquisition platform for car dealership buy centers. It records the conversations dealership buyers have with private sellers on online marketplaces and syncs them to the matching vehicle record in VAN, opens the VAN vehicle page beside listings on the marketplaces VAN monitors, and, on a click, adds a listing VAN does not have from the ad. It runs on Google Chrome for Windows, Mac, and Linux and is included with a VAN subscription.

Who is VAN Loop™ for?
VAN Loop is built for dealership buy-center managers first. You see the conversations your team is having today, not a notes field someone fills in later. When a buyer leaves, the conversations stay. Your Acquisition Coach™ sets it up with your team. VAN Managed Buyer™ clients get the same conversation record as the VAN buying team adopts it. Those conversations show up in VAN PACE™ reporting.
