The vehicle intelligence layer  ·  Operating across the U.S.

ETIMUS transforms millions of VIN-level observations into actionable intelligence.

Vehicle movement, pricing, disaster exposure, and behavioral intelligence — built from what the market is actually doing.

Track what traditional vehicle history reports miss.

Traditional history depends on reported events. ETIMUS looks at market behavior.

By observing where vehicles appear, disappear, re-enter, and move across markets, ETIMUS builds a historical intelligence layer around each VIN that no report can replicate.

From raw listings to market intelligence

Three layers turn fragmented, inconsistent platform data into a clear picture of what the market is actually doing.

01  —  Monitoring

Continuous monitoring

Automated processes observe active dealership listings across all major platforms — detecting changes in price, availability, and content as they happen, without relying on self-reported feeds.

02  —  Normalization

VIN-level normalization

Platform-aware classification aligns inconsistent source data into a unified VIN-centric model. Every vehicle builds a persistent historical record — continuity preserved even when source systems are inconsistent.

03  —  Intelligence

Behavioral signals

Raw changes become meaning: pricing volatility, inventory aging, stagnation risk, dealer patterns, and market momentum — converted into signals you can act on.

A behavioral map of the market

Not just a list of vehicles — a living record of how inventory moves, prices shift, and dealers behave over time.

Inventory movement

Appearance, disappearance & re-entry

Track when vehicles enter and leave the market, how long they persist, and when they reappear — across dealers and geographies.

Pricing behavior

Volatility, stagnation & timing patterns

Identify price cuts, repeated adjustments, and long-stagnant listings that signal dealer pressure or weak demand.

Vehicle-level memory

Full history for every VIN

Each VIN accumulates a persistent record of every observed state: pricing history, platform presence, content changes, and classification over time.

Dealer intelligence

Behavioral patterns by dealer

Observe how individual dealers manage pricing, inventory churn, and listing strategy — revealing patterns invisible from a single snapshot.

Natural disaster exposure intelligence

Many vehicles affected by floods, hurricanes, hailstorms, wildfires, and tornadoes are later repaired and resold without a clear public damage record.

ETIMUS combines vehicle movement intelligence with public disaster datasets to build probabilistic exposure signals for individual VINs. The result is not a claim that a vehicle was damaged — it is a probability score that helps identify vehicles requiring deeper inspection.

Vehicle market activity overlapped with a declared disaster region and later movement pattern is consistent with post-event relocation.

Step 1 Previously observed in a hurricane-affected Florida market
Step 2 County FIPS overlaps with active FEMA disaster declaration
Step 3 NOAA storm event confirms regional flood activity at time of observation
Step 4 Vehicle later appears for sale outside the affected region
ETIMUS flags: Elevated flood exposure probability. Additional inspection recommended.

Who uses ETIMUS

Designed for any organization where knowing what the automotive market is actually doing creates a meaningful advantage.

Dealers & Dealer Groups

Risk, pricing & market movement

Identify risk, pricing pressure, and market movement before acquisition or resale. See how your inventory compares to regional competitors in real time — act before the market moves past you.

Lenders & Insurers

VIN-level exposure & valuation

Add VIN-level exposure and market intelligence to valuation and risk workflows. Ground decisions in observed market behavior, not just published averages.

Auctions & Wholesale Buyers

Pre-purchase inspection signals

Detect vehicles that may require additional inspection before purchase. Surface disaster exposure and market re-entry signals before a bid is placed.

Vehicle History & Data Companies

Probabilistic movement intelligence

Enhance existing reports with probabilistic movement and exposure intelligence — adding signals that reported events alone cannot surface.
