As a family business, Autobedrijf Tjeerdsma B.V. has traditionally been a small town garage. Now, it sells around 600 cars annually.
To valuate vehicles and monitor stock, co-owner Tjeerd Tjeerdsma relies on the JP.cars software.
“At first, I thought the software would mainly be useful for larger dealerships, but after two weeks in the pilot, I knew: this is a keeper. We’ve captured a great reflection of our own insights in the software, and my colleague and I can use it with complete confidence. Even for a smaller business like ours, the software is applicable on a daily basis. That’s a huge advantage for us,” Tjeerd explains.
What does that look like in daily practice? “I start my day by checking the software and in ten minutes, I have a clear view of what adjustments I need to make to the stock. This could be anything from an expired vehicle inspection to adjusting a car’s price, whether lowering or even raising it. Raising a price isn’t something you would normally think of, but the software alerts you if your prices are too low. For example, we recently had a higher-end car that wasn’t attracting any leads. After raising the price, we got three inquiries in our inbox.”
