CarBidOne was extended in version 5.1 by an other interface for the data exchange with third-party systems in a more standardised. The interface enables the exchange of vehicle as well as auction data. The interface protocol used for this is SOAP.

SOAP is a network protocol (simple Object Access Protocol) which enables the exchange of data between different software programmes with the help of so-called „Remote Procedure Calls. SOAP is a very widespread standard of the World Wide Web Consortiums (W3C). The data exchange takes place in the XML format and will transfer about HTTP.

CarBidOne provides functions / web services which can be appealed by third-party systems. The construction of the data which are exchanged between the software systems is provided in the form of a WSDL file (Web Services Description Language).

A new extension of CarBidOne also allows the realisation of auctions of private vehicles by customer order in your auction system:

• Allowing real bargains to your commercial buyers - and you receive a commission in the successful case.
• The private seller confirms in the successful case that he delivers his vehicle for the price achieved in the auction.
• Then the contact is established between seller and buyer. These put out the contract winding up directly with each other.

Your advantages (win win win situation):

• Commercial buyers are sure that the vehicle has correctly been described by a professional and can make a real bargain with a start price of 1 EUR.
• Private sellers sell for a fair price to trust-worthy buyers.
• They offer a real added value to your customers and partners and earn on the procurance of cars without capital lockup.

Now CarBidOne offers the implementing of a new import function which orientates itself by the    mobile.de format.
Therefore the export function of a vehicle management system can be used for mobile.de as well as for CarBidOne and the vehicle data can be imported at your fingertips to CarBidOne.
