Built for dealers. Focused on inventory acquisition.
Hooptie exists to give dealers a single platform for finding profitable private-party inventory — replacing hours of manual marketplace scanning with one always-on acquisition engine.
Acquisition used to mean endless scrolling.
Hooptie was built by people who understand dealership acquisition from the inside. Finding profitable private-party inventory used to mean hours of manual scanning — Facebook Marketplace in one tab, Craigslist in another, then OfferUp, Cars.com, and AutoTrader after that.
The good deals never waited. By the time a buyer had pieced together a listing, decoded the VIN, and checked the numbers, the car was often already gone. The work was tedious, hard to scale, and impossible to do consistently across a whole team.
Hooptie turns all of that into one platform. Every marketplace is monitored, normalized, and decoded automatically — so dealers spend their time buying cars instead of hunting for them.
Give every dealer an unfair advantage in acquisition.
The dealers who win are the ones who find the right car first. We're building the platform that makes that the default, not the exception.
The principles behind the platform.
A small set of convictions that shape every feature we ship.
Dealer First
Every decision starts with the lot. If it doesn't help dealers buy better inventory, it doesn't ship.
Speed Matters
Good private-party deals disappear in minutes. We obsess over getting the right listing in front of you first.
Data Over Guesswork
VIN decoding, market values, and margin scoring replace the gut-feel scanning dealers used to rely on.
Continuous Improvement
Marketplaces change constantly. We ship relentlessly so coverage and accuracy only get sharper over time.
A platform built phase by phase.
From a single scanner to a full acquisition platform for dealer groups.
