Utilise the data – The dealership-specific selling prices for trade-in cars can be predicted statistically. With this information, it’s possible to affect purchases and optimise stocks. Systematic operations lead towards better profit.
Activity alone doesn’t guarantee profit
The customer feedback systems in used car sales should reliably measure the commercialism of the salespeople. This brings more profit and makes training more efficient.
Towards the targets Commissions can really boost selling. However, simply rewarding on basis of sales can be questionable for the company's result. A developed commission system also takes purchases into consideration.
Optimal procedure for the entire dealership chain An optimisation model for stock lets a dealership chain know which cars it should transfer from one outlet to another to maximize the expected profit. Thus, optimisation supports the managers of a dealership in everyday decision-making.
