Largest U.S. Automotive Auction Network Deploys Capacity Planning with Dash Enterprise

Manheim, a Cox Automotive brand, is the world’s largest wholesale marketplace for used automobiles. The team required decision support for site staffing and equipment stocking, but were blocked by low stakeholder visibility, high platform costs, and low development velocity.

Licensing Dash Enterprise enabled Manheim to build capacity planning models that forecast demand, equipment, and labor supply. Their partnership with Plotly’s Professional Services team further accelerated the Capacity Application’s development and expanded its functionality.
