Audatex AUTOonline

What Audatex AUTOonline does

Audatex AUTOonline GmbH is a German B2B digital platform operating in the vehicle damage management and claims processing value chain. The company connects insurers, vehicle experts, workshops, car dealers, fleet managers, and automotive manufacturers on a single platform that supports vehicle identification, electronic damage documentation, repair cost calculation, valuation, expert report creation, quotations, and electronic invoicing. It is the German operating subsidiary of Solera Group, a global vehicle lifecycle management conglomerate with operations in over 80 countries and more than 6,000 employees.

The product portfolio is organized around three core brands — Audatex (claims and expert reports), AUTOonline (vehicle marketplace and residual value exchange), and sachcontrol.de — and a suite of integrated modules including SPEEDonline (auction/bidding), VALUEonline and VALUEpilot (valuation), EASYonline (streamlined transactions), FLEETonline (fleet marketing), Fraudcheck (fraud detection), Restwertbörse (residual value exchange), Bergungsbörse (salvage exchange), Gebrauchtwagen, Privatemarkt, and Fremdgutachten. The platform does not expose a public API or developer SDK and its terms explicitly prohibit automated data extraction. The company has approximately 220 employees in Germany and serves 75,000+ customers globally, having held the market-leader position in German vehicle damage management for over 50 years.

The business model is primarily marketplace- and transaction-based: the company earns commissions and fees on vehicle transactions processed through the platform (auctions, residual value sales, fleet dispositions), supplemented by platform access fees for damage calculation, expert report creation, and fraud detection services. Two wholly-owned subsidiaries — AUTOonline Operations GmbH & Co. Kg. and AUTOonline Services GmbH — handle the operational side of vehicle purchasing, resale, and cross-border transaction facilitation. Distribution is via self-serve platform access, dedicated sales hotlines segmented by customer type (dealers/workshops, experts/insurers, sales), and the Solera international network. The company is privately held as a GmbH with no public listing or disclosed funding history.
