André, purchasing team leader at Seldenrijk, explains how CarCollect helps to purchase cars quickly and efficiently and continuously replenish stock.
“Hey, I’m André. I’m the team leader of the purchasing department at Seldenrijk.”
Seldenrijk is a used car dealer in Harderwijk with a wide range of vehicles. Where the company used to be very active in business-to-business and export, the focus is now fully on private customers.
“In the past, we did a lot of B2B and export, but in recent years we mainly focus on private sales. We still source most of our cars through CarCollect.”
Acting quickly with bids
With CarCollect, Seldenrijk can act quickly. “Through the platform, it is possible to receive a bid within 15 minutes. You enter the car, we add a price, and you can immediately start working with a proposal.”
This makes the process not only faster, but also much more structured for all parties involved.
From purchase to showroom
When a car is purchased, Seldenrijk takes care of the entire follow-up process. “If the car is sold to us, we arrange transport if necessary.”
Once the car arrives, it is fully inspected. “We check the car technically and visually, prepare it for sale, and make improvements where necessary.”
After that, the car is professionally presented. “The car is cleaned and goes through our photo studio with a 360-degree camera. Then it is placed on our website and made ready in the showroom.”
Wide range, always the right cars
According to André, the strength of CarCollect lies mainly in the wide range. “We basically sell all brands and the aanbod on CarCollect is extremely large.”
This means there is always a match to be found. “We can use something from all types of cars. That simply fits well with what we need.”
And it is exactly that combination that makes CarCollect a fixed value in Seldenrijk’s purchasing process: acting quickly, a wide range, and always moving forward towards sales.
