When a consignor signs up for the service, and once we complete the onboarding with AutoIMS, we start receiving notifications when vehicles are consigned to a participating auction within the Privacy4Cars network. When a vehicle arrives at the auction, we tag it as “Available For Service” (AFS). This creates visibility over which VINs are awaiting for service, and makes it possible for both auctions and consignors to keep an eye on the “queue” of vehicles that have not been processed yet.
Once a VIN is scanned, it stops being AFS and is assigned an updated status depending on the outcome of that deletion (Completed, Exception Reported, Unsuccessful, or Abandoned). If you see vehicles in your portfolio with a AFS status that you do not think qualify for the service, please reach out to info@privacy4cars.com to provide you with an answer for your specific case.
