DALLAS, April 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/-- Copart, Inc.

"Each new iteration of the Copart Mobile App provides another level of value to our buyers in more than 150 countries and territories using the app," said Jay Adair, CEO of Copart. "We are seeing tremendous usage rates, with more than 80 percent of those who download the app using it every three days, and the majority of those using it daily."

In 2013, Copart launched its first iPhone app and the industry's first iPad-optimized app, providing Copart buyers with a convenient tool to view vehicles, join live online auctions and place bids. In 2015, the company launched the Android version, expanding its reach to an even broader digital audience. Since then, the app continues to be a product of innovation and refinement. In addition to updating its mobile app, this year Copart launched an updated, mobile-responsive version of its website, Copart.com. The enhanced website is 10 times faster than the previous version.

"Through buyer surveys, website feedback forms and app store reviews, we can pinpoint our buyers' needs and update our app and website to stay ahead of the game," said Michelle Hoffman, Copart's Vice President of Marketing.
