smart Europe choses autobiz for its trade-in business activities in its core European markets
- autobiz accompanies smart Europe ambitious launch plans in its top European markets.
- More specifically, autobiz will provide smart Europe sites with online valuation tools …
- … while guaranteeing smart Europe´s partners an onsite purchase price via the autobizOffice suite
- This partnership is part of smart Europe´s omnichannel distribution strategy built upon a seamless integration between a superior online purchase journey and a best-in-class physical shopping experience at the newly formed agent network
smart Europe is launching its all-new line-up of purely electric models and expanding into additional segments over the forthcoming years. These new models are combined with the introduction of a fully integrated on- and offline customer journey which is supported by a renewed network of agents across Europe established within carefully selected partners.
New agent model supported by enhanced trade-in & remarketing process capabilities
As part of the implementation of its new retail model – implementing a genuine agent model in its core markets – smart Europe will support its network with trade-in and remarketing processes using comprehensive solutions supplied by autobiz. In smart’s core European countries future genuine agents will furthermore benefit from on-site binding trade-in offers.
As said, this service will be based on the autobizOffice suite empowering smart Europe´s agents to use the autobizCarcheck app to inspect vehicles and then request a guaranteed price that will be used, i.e., in the autobizAI solution for body damage repair recognition and the autobizMarket tool for market price and trade-in calculations. In addition to the guaranteed price option, the B2B-resale of vehicles will be processed through the autobizTrade B2B sales platform.
autobiz trade-in modules on smart Europe´s websites in core European countries
On top of the offline services, autobiz and smart Europe have recently entered into an agreement that smart Europe´s customer-facing websites will be enabled to provide an online valuation for trade-in vehicles.
smart Europe is proud to further extend its partnership with autobiz as leading provider for vehicle valuation and trade-in and remarketing tools. Their robust and mature data collection and processing technologies will help us provide a superior on- and offline trade-in experience not only for our customers but also for the entire network. Innovation is at the core of both our companies, and that is what we’re looking forward to in this collaboration.
André Janssen-Timmen, Sales Director and Chief Operating Officer of smart Europe GmbH.
