Patented Vehicle Search Technology

What this means for shoppers: McCluskey’s patented system is designed to aggregate available used-vehicle data from multiple sources, calculate consumer-facing offer pricing that accounts for acquisition-related costs, and present the results in a searchable retail website. In plain English: McCluskey can show customers vehicles it may not physically own yet, then work to acquire one when a customer is interested.

Patent history: The original nationwide vehicle-search patent is No. 9,691,095. Follow-up patent No. 10,600,103 -> includes customer relationship management (CRM) functionality.
