Wheelbase is a dealership management platform designed to help automotive dealers handle auction sourcing, inventory tracking, and reconditioning. The software includes a mobile app for field operations that supports VIN scanning and offline data entry, which syncs when a connection is restored.

It is built for a range of buyers, from independent single-location dealers to large enterprise groups. The platform uses AI to help users surface insights, monitor competitor pricing, and supports the creation of inspection and repair tasks.

Buyers should note that the software is currently in closed beta. Those considering the tool should confirm if the current integration options meet their needs, as several planned DMS and auction integrations are on the development roadmap.
