Ward van Sighem, General Manager at Auto’s Verschueren, and Glenn van Zaelen, Sales Manager, explain how CarCollect helps make their trading process smarter, clearer and more efficient.
Independent dealer with a growing B2B focus
Auto’s Verschueren is an independent car dealer with a strong focus on sales to end customers, business clients, private customers and self-employed professionals. In recent years, B2B has become increasingly important as well.
“My name is Ward van Sighem and I am General Manager at Auto’s Verschueren. I mainly focus on business strategy and financial reporting.”
From traditional trading to a digital platform
For vehicles that Auto’s Verschueren does not always sell itself, the company used to work in a more traditional way. Over the years, that process has increasingly shifted towards platform-based trading.
“CarCollect gives us the opportunity to reach a much wider audience and achieve a better price for our trade-in vehicles.”
More structure in the trade-in process
Auto’s Verschueren has adjusted its trade-in process several times. A key part of that is deciding which vehicles fit their own stock and which vehicles are better suited for the trade market.
“What works really well is that this can be automatically set up in a trade-in protocol within CarCollect. That means salespeople do not have to make that choice themselves every time. The system helps decide what stays in our own stock and what goes to trade.”
New opportunities on the buying side
CarCollect also creates new opportunities for purchasing. Glenn van Zaelen explains how the platform helps them broaden their stock search.
“For us as an independent car company, it is useful to also look at vehicles from brand dealers. They sometimes no longer buy certain cars themselves, while those vehicles can still be interesting for us.”
Stronger valuations with data and integrations
On the buying side, CarCollect also helps guide new buyers. Not just based on gut feeling, but with clear parameters and pricing information.
“We still compare with portal websites, but CarCollect also includes integrations for price determination. That makes it easier to get direction and move towards the right price.”
Personal contact and fast follow-up
Ward also highlights the collaboration with the CarCollect team.
“You have close contact with people across different layers of the company. Everyone is approachable and problems or challenges are picked up immediately.”
For Auto’s Verschueren, CarCollect means more reach, more structure and more control over the entire trading process.
