Frank Moormann, Managing Director of the Nieuwenhuijse Group, explains how CarCollect has professionalized their trading and valuation processes.
Nieuwenhuijse is a Volvo dealer group with five locations across Northern Netherlands, from Meppel to Zutphen. Since 2017, the group has expanded with additions like MAX’S Mobility and a bicycle business. “When we set out to optimize our trading processes, we found that direct interactions with traders sometimes compromised the best price,” Frank shares. “CarCollect has provided us with a system that consistently secures the best trade offers.”
Efficient Valuation and Sales
All Nieuwenhuijse salespeople are active on CarCollect. “Cars are professionally appraised by our in-house team before being listed on the platform. Traders can place bids, and the highest bidder always wins the car,” Frank explains. Tools like JP Cars (Japie Cars) enable the valuation team to determine market values instantly, boosting conversion rates.
Transport and International Vision
CarCollect also offers a transport module, a vital feature as Nieuwenhuijse both sells and buys vehicles through the platform. “The transport module ensures a smooth and reliable process,” says Frank. CarCollect’s European vision aligns perfectly with Nieuwenhuijse’s ambitions. “We handle many export vehicles, and the international network opens up significant opportunities.”
A Professional Partnership
What sets CarCollect apart for Nieuwenhuijse is its large trading community, professional approach, and excellent support. “The platform not only helps us optimize our trade-in and valuation processes but also provides a forward-thinking vision for the future,” Frank concludes.
