Career Analytics Manheim Auto Auction is “transforming the wholesale vehicle buying and selling through investments in technology and innovative products and services. Manheim markets Simulcast, Simulcast Everywhere, OVE.com, and Manheim Consulting. Manheim has set the industry standard for buying and selling used vehicles at live auctions and online.
