Every vehicle is a file of its own.
In the vehicle trade, margin is built one vehicle at a time, and lost in the ancillary costs nobody attached to the right file.
A used vehicle is not an ordinary stock item: it is an identified unit carrying a purchase price, refurbishment costs, transport and customs charges, a holding period and a negotiated sale price. True profitability is only known by consolidating all of that onto the file, which few companies in the sector do properly.
We have designed a vehicle sales marketplace in production. The structural issues we handled there were catalogue quality, the credibility of product information for a remote buyer, and the link between online commercial interest and the actual sales file.
The challenges we address.
Identified vehicle stock, with costs attached to the file and holding period
Sales files: trade-ins, financing, administrative documents, delivery
Workshop and parts: repair orders, warranties, internal invoicing
True unit margin per vehicle and stock turnover analysis
What we bring.
- An online catalogue credible for remote purchase, already proven in production
- ERP configuration for unit stock and cost capitalisation
- Linking online enquiries to actual commercial handling
- Management of margin, turnover and stock ageing
