Stephan de Leeuw, used car manager at Ursem Barten, explains how CarCollect makes his work more efficient and organized.
As the sole used car manager, Stephan is responsible every day for appraising, distributing, and pricing vehicles. With 13 locations and a wide range of tasks, having an overview is crucial for him. “The great thing about CarCollect is the clear insight into every step of the process. Whether it’s the registration, trade-in, arrival, invoicing, or transport – I always know exactly where a car is.”
Previously, Stephan mainly worked with local dealers, which was often time-consuming and inefficient. “It used to go like this: a car was traded in, I’d call a dealer, we’d agree on a price, and then once the car arrived, there would still be discussions about its value. With CarCollect, we now have access to a nationwide network. This allows us to target specific dealers per segment and receive multiple bids, which not only leads to higher conversion but also better returns.”
Data as the key to success
In addition to providing a clear overview, CarCollect also offers extensive analytics. “We monitor the number of bids, how they progress, and of course the final revenue from the vehicles. This data helps us make better-informed decisions and get the most out of our process.”
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 intake process. The clarity and possibilities it offers not only make my work more efficient but also more enjoyable.”
