The ageing stock problem
The Vandenberghe Group manages 3 dealerships in the Brussels region. Their chronic problem: vehicles sitting in stock too long, tying up capital and requiring late, disorganised price reductions.
"We knew we had stock gathering dust, but we had no system to anticipate it. We were always reacting too late."
Using price alerts
With Carindex, the team configured price drop alerts for competitor vehicles similar to their stock. When a competitor drops their price on a model they also have in stock, they receive a notification — and can adjust before their vehicle becomes uncompetitive.
They also use the Pricing Engine to revalue each stock vehicle every 2 weeks and identify those now overpriced relative to the market.
