CARBASE APPOINTS INDICATA TO SUPPORT SALES GROWTH IN THE SOUTH WEST
Carbase, with four supermarkets in the south west of England is the latest business to sign up to the new INDICATA real time online used vehicle management system.
The used car supermarket’s team will use INDICATA’s powerful market insights to ensure its 2,000 used cars are as competitively priced in each site’s local area as possible.
Carbase particularly liked the power of INDICATA data as it provides insights into all used cars advertised online across the south west.
Alex Jones head of marketing & digital said: “We use external data sources to supplement our own in-house sales information from www.carbase.co.uk. INDICATA gives us a broad view of all used cars on sale within Somerset and Bristol that will compete with our stock.
“The data helps us make a measured decision on pricing to ensure all of our stock is positioned to maximise daily sales at each site,” he added.
Neil Gilligan, INDICATA’s national business development manager said: “Carbase runs a great business and knows its local customer base extremely well. INDICATA is able to provide those additional insights that will help support Carbase in selling more cars and reduce stocking days across the business.”
Carbase was the fastest growing ID50 independent used car dealer in 2017 with turnover up 55.4%.
