FAQ
Does this replace VAN?
No. It feeds VAN with private-party leads from sources VAN doesn't natively aggregate (Craigslist, eBay, OfferUp, AutoTrader private, Cars.com private).
Do I need a VAN account?
Yes — this integration assumes you're already a VAN customer.
Is the push real-time?
Yes. Tagged leads flow within seconds of the action in VinScouter.
