Stephan de Leeuw, used car manager at Ursem Barten, shares how CarCollect makes his work more efficient and transparent.
As the sole used car manager, Stephan is responsible for appraising, distributing, and pricing vehicles daily. With 13 locations and a wide range of tasks, having a clear overview is essential. “What I appreciate most about CarCollect is the detailed insight into every step of the process. Whether it’s listing, trade-in, arrival, invoicing, or transport, I always know exactly where a vehicle is.”
Previously, Stephan mainly worked with local traders, which was often time-consuming and less efficient. “It used to go like this: a car was traded in, I called a trader, we agreed on a price, and once the car arrived, there were still discussions about the value. With CarCollect, we now have access to a nationwide network. This allows us to target specific traders for each segment and receive multiple bids, which not only boosts our conversion rate but also increases our returns.”
Data as a Key to Success
In addition to providing a clear overview, CarCollect offers extensive analytics. “We track the number of bids, their progression, and, of course, the final revenue for the vehicles. This data helps us make better decisions and maximize the value of our processes.”
An All-in-One Solution
For Stephan, it’s clear: “CarCollect is a game-changer for us. It’s an all-in-one solution that fully supports and optimizes our vehicle intake process. The insights and opportunities it offers not only make my work more efficient but also more enjoyable.”
