In car lease market the remarketing of end-of-lease vehicles is often carried out by major logistics providers. Unfortunately, valuable time is wasted by following procedures and protocols established years ago - without realizing that what worked then, could be causing significant delays and wasting time now. Without up-to-date procedures and up-to-the-minute information, one could be paying for costly inefficiencies, missing valuable business opportunities and losing competitive speed.

Moving towards Real-Time Community focuses on radical time reduction, and will give rise to major business benefits:
- Integration of legacy applications across company-borders in real-time without loss of data;
- Transparent, up-to-date, secured information - no redundancies;
- Mobile systems for real-time vehicle condition assessment;
- End-to-end control over the entire workflow;
- Zero-latency: event-triggered action-flow;
- Multi-channel auction site in anticipation of end-of-lease.

The auction platform facilitates the sale of end-of-lease vehicles. A vehicle which is e.g. declared end-of-lease by the sales department is in real-time submitted to supply list of the auction site. Here the auction manager manages the end-of-lease vehicles assigning them to bidding lists, coupling lists to bidders groups, defining auction type mix (open, closed, ...) and auction time scale. The results of the auction are in real-time integrated in the UBSales service chain and e-billing process is automatically fulfilled.

This real-time community approach eliminates all administrative hazzle through information integration and full transparency.
