Ron Rusticus (FGD Lease): “With CarCollect we have more peace of mind and better results in our remarketing process”
Ron Rusticus, working in the commercial back office at FGD Lease, explains how CarCollect helps organize their remarketing process more efficiently and professionally.
FGD Lease was founded in 2017 and has grown significantly in a short period of time. “We started with four employees back then. Today we have thirteen people on the payroll and our lease portfolio is growing nicely as well,” says Ron.
The leasing company mainly focuses on the northern part of the Netherlands. “Our focus is mainly on Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe. There we really try to create synergy between our customers and the dealers in the region.”
From manual to a structured remarketing process
Before working with CarCollect, FGD Lease handled the remarketing process largely manually. “Last year we were still working with separate Excel files and a lot of email contact with traders,” Ron explains. “That creates close contact with your partners, but it is also quite time consuming.”
The remarketing process itself starts when vehicles are returned by the driver. “The cars are first taken in at a third-party location. There they are cleaned and then inspected by an independent party. After that, our inspection partner AVN prepares a report and we proceed to auction the cars.”
More overview, more efficiency
With CarCollect, FGD Lease has been able to significantly improve this process. “What CarCollect has brought us is a much better workflow,” Ron says. “As a result, we can work more efficiently and also achieve better selling prices.”
Besides efficiency, the platform also brings more calm and structure to the process. “Since we started working with CarCollect, we have more structure in our remarketing process. We know that we are getting the maximum out of our residual values.”
According to Ron, the platform also provides transparency towards traders. “Thanks to the independent intake process and the AVN inspection reports, traders know exactly what they are buying. That allows us to keep our trading partners satisfied as well.”
