Metal to Metrics: Remarketing & Recovery Strategies

calendar_today February 10, 2026

Optimizing automotive remarketing and recovery has transitioned from a simple logistical task of moving metal to a sophisticated, data-driven science focused on net present value. In an environment where every day on the lot translates to lost capital, lenders must move beyond traditional intuition to determine which assets to seize and when to liquidate them. This session explores how top-tier captives and auctions are currently optimizing automotive remarketing and recovery by blending physical lanes with digital platforms. By leveraging real-time analytics, these organizations can identify the precise moment and channel that will yield the highest returns while navigating the current volatility in used vehicle pricing.

The technical depth of this discussion covers how institutions are optimizing automotive remarketing and recovery amidst significant capacity constraints in the repossession sector. As the industry faces a shortage of agents and rising operational costs, understanding regional differences and regulatory expectations becomes vital for any credit committee. The panel also highlights how the influx of electric vehicles and specialized commercial assets is forcing a rewrite of the standard playbook. Successfully optimizing automotive remarketing and recovery now requires a nuanced understanding of battery health and specialized remarketing channels that differ significantly from internal combustion engines, ensuring that lenders can defend their portfolios against rapid depreciation.

  • Data-driven strategies for selecting the most profitable liquidation channels between physical and digital auctions.
  • Techniques for managing agent capacity and mitigating the impact of rising repossession and storage costs.
  • Adaptation of recovery workflows to handle the unique valuation and safety requirements of electric vehicle fleets.
