On the other hand, the business intelligence set consisting of the combination of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big data, INDICATA analyzes more than 450 thousand second hand vehicle data per day by scanning the second hand online auto market in Turkey.
While the sales data in the report is based on the advertisements posted on the online market by the institutions and organizations engaged in second hand trade, these data do not contain data on individual vehicle advertisements.
Second hand vehicle ad is classified as a “sale” when it is completely removed from the internet by an institution or organization.
