What PAR North America does

PAR North America (legal entity PAR, Inc.) is a B2B asset recovery and vehicle lifecycle management company headquartered in Carmel, Indiana. Founded in 1994 and operating as a subsidiary within the OPENLANE ecosystem, the company serves over 400 lenders, including credit unions, banks, captive auto finance divisions, subprime lenders, fleet and national automotive lenders, and rental companies. Its service portfolio covers five integrated lines: Recovery Management (nationwide repossession forwarding through 600+ vetted vendors across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and D.C.), Skip Tracing (data-driven vehicle location using credit bureau, LPR, social media, and utility data), Platinum Compliance (a self-service web portal with 50-state regulatory tracking and vendor due diligence), Title Services (one-state processing with electronic document storage), and Remarketing (digital and physical auction channel sale of recovered assets including commercial trucks, marine, and powersports).

The technological core is the eVIPR lifecycle management platform, which provides bulk assignment processing, automated workflows, real-time portfolio analytics, and integration with all major recovery management systems. Embedded within eVIPR is the Predictive Intelligence suite—proprietary models that score recovery probability, optimize client-level operations, and surface additional addresses to improve repossession outcomes. The company holds SOC 2 Type 2 certification, registered trademarks (PAR, Partners in Asset Recovery, Platinum Compliance, eVIPR), and operates under compliance frameworks aligned with CFPB, FDCPA, and GLBA requirements.

PAR's revenue model combines transaction fees tied to successful recovery and remarketing outcomes with what is likely a recurring subscription component for the eVIPR platform. Distribution is enterprise-direct through a dedicated Client Relations team, supplemented by industry referrals via the American Recovery Association and channel partnerships across the OPENLANE family (OPENLANE US/Canada/Europe, RDN, AFC, LaneLink, CarsArrive Network, Velocicast, autoniq). Pricing is quote-based and tailored to portfolio volume; no public rate card is disclosed. Customers are retained via deep integrations, compliance posture, and the breadth of the national vendor footprint, with lifetime scale metrics of 2.5M+ vehicles recovered and 500,000+ remarketed assets across the company's operating history.
