ACV MAX
ACV MAX is ACV's inventory management and merchandising product (built on the former MAX Digital), giving dealers market pricing, appraisal and VDP merchandising data for used vehicles. Confirm how its data ties into the dealer's inventory and appraisal workflow.
What this record establishes
ACV MAX is a ACV product record mapped to wholesale & auctions. It sits in inventory, so the department that owns that workflow should lead the evaluation. ACV fields 4 other named lines, so establish early whether ACV MAX is sold standalone or assumes the rest of the stack.
It does not assert a price, an integration, an OEM approval or a feature unless that fact has configuration-specific evidence. Ask the vendor to identify the current SKU, edition and order-form language before scoring it against anything.

Questions dealers ask about ACV MAX
What is ACV MAX?
ACV MAX is a named product or service line recorded against ACV and mapped to wholesale & auctions. This record resolves the name to a provider and to the workflows it touches. It does not assert a feature list, a price, an integration or an OEM approval without configuration-specific evidence.
Who makes ACV MAX?
ACV. No corporate parent is recorded for this provider in this directory.
How much does ACV MAX cost?
No universal price is published here, because dealership software is quoted per configuration and the same named product can differ several-fold between two stores. Request modules and quantities, implementation, integration and usage fees, initial term, renewal mechanic, annual increase and exit cost.
Does ACV MAX integrate with my DMS?
That has to be established for your DMS and version, not from a directory record or a partner logo. Ask for direction, objects, refresh interval, ownership, support and fee in writing from both ACV and your DMS provider, and compare the two answers.
Is ACV MAX sold on its own?
ACV fields 4 other named lines. Ask explicitly which are prerequisites, which are bundled today but priced separately at renewal, and what changes commercially if you later drop one.
What should the demo prove?
Run one real workflow end to end, including an exception, using your data and your process. Record what is native, what is configured, what a partner delivers and what sits on a roadmap. Roadmap items are not features you are buying today.
What are the alternatives to ACV MAX?
Use the unranked category-peer page for ACV to find companies covering the same workflows, then verify product, market, OEM, integration, implementation and commercial fit for each. No universal better option is named here.
How current is this record?
Each company record carries an evidence status and, at Verified status, a dated evidence packet naming the source that was checked. Product packaging changes more often than company scope, so confirm the current edition with the provider regardless of the record date.
