In June we hosted our bi-annual country managers’ conference in Denmark. It’s where all our country managers come together for a few days to discuss our group strategy, and for us to all understand the changing dynamics across the global automotive and asset management industries.
It’s clear that further change is taking place. Not just the fall in demand in diesels from some countries or the shortage of the right used cars in some markets, but the increased appetite for more insight and data to help vendors sell cars faster, help them improve efficiency within their used car operations and ultimately increase profitability.
Big Data leads to greater market insights
The term ‘Big Data’ has been used for some time but we believe that the automotive industry is starting to really get to grips with what it means and how access to more data leads to creating greater insights which help drive greater efficiency, revenues and profits.
Our INDICATA real time used vehicle management system started out by making insights available to dealers to help them manage their stock inventory more efficiently and to reduce stocking days.
INDICATA helps drive used cars down the right channels
The system is now being used by OEMs to understand the dynamics of its entire country used vehicle stock and to help them manage and support their retailers in selling more used cars. Leasing companies and banks are using INDICATA to understand the true value of a car at the end of a contract and which channel to put it through to speed up its sale – that includes export markets.
We have even seen a major OEM in Turkey use INDICATA as a lead management tool to enable consumers to generate their own used car evaluation online and to enable their dealers to start a conversation about buying their used car in exchange for a new car.
20 years of online experience
What this shows is that the Autorola family is constantly reacting with the times, and using its 20 years of working online to reinvent itself to provide customers with dynamic products and services that help and support the success of their businesses. Have a great summer.
