Partnership JP.cars boosts turnover rate maarZeker

Based in the deep south of the Netherlands, car service center maarZeker sets itself apart from its bigger competitors by focusing on client relations and premium local service. Customers know they can rely on maarZeker for expert advice, maintenance and repairs for their car. With a modest, yet diverse stock of 40 to 50 vehicles, maarZeker is also active in the competitive market of used cars.

“JP.cars helps us purchase our cars more strategically. We saw the stock's marketability and turnover rate soar in a matter of weeks.”

First results within weeks

The quest for reliable data about the marketability of used vehicles led maarZeker to JP.cars.

“We used to work with another system, but it often delivered inaccurate or insufficient information. While looking for new software, we hit upon a number of posts by JP.cars on LinkedIn. We immediately reached out and started a pilot,” says Daniël Maar, owner of Bosch Car Service maarZeker.

The software showed its potential early on in the JP.cars trial period. “As the pilot progressed, we became more and more excited. The first results were apparent after only a few weeks,” according to Daniel. 

It was not just the software that sparked enthusiasm at maarZeker, the dealership was very happy with JP.cars’ support as well. “The implementation manager’s knowledge of the software was very impressive and made for a smooth and pleasant implementation and onboarding process. JP.cars reserved plenty of time to help us work with the software – and did that in such a way that it quickly yielded concrete results!”

 

Trading with confidence 

The cooperation with JP.cars provides various advantages. One particular asset is the marketability index (ETR), which enables maarZeker to trade with confidence. 

Daniël: “The ETR helps me identify the best cars to purchase. I used to buy cars based on my gut feeling, but we now have the right tool. JP.cars uncovers the cars that are currently marketable. This includes vehicles I used to ignore, thinking they would never sell. In addition, the software highlights the accuracy of the ETR, aided by the APR. This allows us to source fast-selling cars, boosting our turnover rate significantly.”

 

Combination of data and expertise remains valuable

Despite the fact that maarZeker has only worked with the software for a relatively short time, Daniël is very positive about the outcome. “I’ve been using the data a lot. Recently, I purchased a car from a brand I had never purchased before. But individual experience and expertise remain important, especially for subjective aspects like color and interior. For example, we know that a light interior sells slower than a dark interior. This is why that combination of data and expertise is so valuable.”

 

Growth opportunities for maarZeker

Looking ahead, Daniël sees many growth opportunities sprouting from the partnership with JP.cars. “Of course, our final objective is to sell more cars. We have only been using the JP.cars data for 1.5 months and we have already seen remarkable results. Smart purchasing practices boost the stock’s ETR and the turnover rate. This shows tremendous promise for the future.”
