Company profile
researched Aug 2026Cardino provides remarketing infrastructure for automotive fleets and OEMs, covering the vehicle lifecycle from intake through inspection, pricing, distribution and sale to post-sale administration. The platform is organised into six modules: a Remarketing Management System that orchestrates workflows with rule-based routing, approval flows and real-time fleet dashboards; a white-label dealer marketplace supporting fixed-price, auction and blind-bid formats with dealer scoring and tiering; bid aggregation that syndicates a single listing to external marketplaces such as Auto1, Openlane and Autorola and consolidates bids into one decision view; AI agents for vehicle data enrichment, residual value prediction and channel allocation; a mobile vehicle inspection app producing 360-degree condition reports with AI damage detection, automated grading and instant PDF appraisals; and a post-sales compliance tool automating invoicing, cross-border VAT handling, Intrastat reporting and document generation.
The modules are delivered white-labeled to the customer's brand and connect to remarketing channels, data providers and inspection networks through a single API layer, with custom integrations into customer DMS, ERP or fleet management systems.
