Alongside using a system that scrapes the internet for private car sellers, contacts those sellers and puts them in touch with franchised retailers looking for stock Carsearch 2020 also helps retailers generate showroom and servicing activity.
Founded by experienced retailer Andy Doyle, the CarSearch scraping system is able to find vehicles being privately offered for sale under criteria set by the retailer. The sellers are then contacted by Carsearch’s automated text system and encouraged to book an appointment at the retailer to complete the sale.
Mr Doyle, said this had a 15-18% success rate in appointment bookings from a scraping search.
