Get FinancingFast Track Iron Dealer Network Unlocks Wholesale & Exclusive Benefits
Fast Track Iron, Sandhills Global’s dealer-to-dealer network, provides a platform for buying and selling equipment wholesale, but that’s not all. Dealers in the network also get access to valuable information and a suite of exclusive tools. Fast Track Iron users unlock these features by logging in to Sandhills sites and apps.
Wholesale & More
As an FTI member, you can post listings with wholesale prices using the Inventory Management app. You can also send wholesale quotes from IM and from your listings.
You can opt to use IM to simultaneously list wholesale assets for retail sale on MachineryTrader.com, TractorHouse.com, and other Sandhills platforms. This resembles the way auction sellers can use Pre-AuctionTime to offer items to both wholesale and retail buyers before they go to auction.
Fast Track Iron Features
MarketTrends. Free access to Sandhills’ MarketTrends tool gives you selling prices, after-sale values, and auction results. Its Auto Focus feature concentrates on the closest-matching, most relevant search results, while Quick Filter provides a more inclusive, customizable perspective.
Serial Number Guide. This free serial number and VIN lookup tool can verify a machine or truck’s year, make, and model. You can also use it to check specifications and available history information, verify hours and mileage, and more.
Email alerts. FTI emails you about newly posted wholesale assets that might interest you based on your inventory and Sandhills search history. A clickable image links to the asset, and a new Make An Offer button generates a trackable lead in the Sandhills Cloud’s Leads app. FTI also emails you when a member posts a wholesale Want-To-Buy that matches an asset in your inventory.
Private party listings. FTI wholesale listings also include hot deals from private sellers who have entered a wholesale price or priced assets below market value.
Valuations on listings. FTI members also see VIP+ auction and market values for assets when there’s enough data for the make/model/configuration.
Privacy. FTI users can message securely about equipment and negotiate sale terms in a closed network. If you would rather not have a competing dealership know about a pending deal for a local asset, for example, you can add it to an Excluded Accounts list that blocks certain users from seeing your wholesale listings and pre-trade offers.
Pre-Trade Offers. Dealers can use these to find an FTI buyer for a unit before taking it on trade. Pre-Trade Offer listings appear at the top of wholesale listings for up to seven days and include a Make An Offer button.
