Introducing Carwow Collects 📦🚙 Dealers, we know you can’t be everywhere all at once. But Carwow Collects can: https://lnkd.in/eHP6Pgkd Unlike others, Carwow’s transport service now combines a built-in Assured Scheme with the appraisal, collection and delivery of your Carwow auction wins. Carwow Collects protects you financially against certain undisclosed mechanical and electrical faults found post-purchase, as well as if the vehicle is found to be stolen, clocked, cloned, chipped or imported.* How it works ⚙️  1️⃣ Book a collection 2️⃣ A trained agent inspects and shares the appraisal with you 3️⃣ We’ll deliver it and if something’s wrong you can submit a repair or reimbursement request worth up to £25,000 on eligible vehicles. Now that’s what we’d call game-changing. Find out more here 👉https://lnkd.in/eHP6Pgkd *Terms and conditions apply.

🚗💼 Why must dealers adopt an omnichannel approach to sourcing stock? That’s the question discussed in our recent webinar in partnership with Cox Automotive Inc. We were delighted to be joined by expert panellists Peter Smyth, Alex Jones, Ben Archer, Philip Nothard and Sally Foote to explore the biggest trends impacting the evolving landscape of dealer stock acquisition. It’s now available to watch on demand (link in the comments). Check out the key takeaways… 🔍 *Consumer behaviour:* consumers are spending more time researching their car-change online, driving increasing volumes to sell their car through online channels. 🧑💻 *Blending channels:* dealers must adopt both online and offline channels to source stock due to shifting consumer behaviour. 📈 *Dealer adaptations:* dealers are increasingly buying fresh stock online. At Carwow, we’re enhancing the online experience with initiatives like document collection and transport services to remove the faff for dealers. 📊 *Data-driven decisions:* data is crucial for sourcing decisions. Our expert dealer panellists rely heavily on data to ensure they source the right stock from the right sources for their markets. 🔮 *Future focus:* AI will streamline operations and boost profitability. Carwow is committed to improving every aspect of the car buying journey through technological advancements.
