Jardine Motors Group is rolling out BCA’s cloud-based Dealer Pro system to speed up the part-exchange process and inter-group marketing.

The group has employed the cloud-based iPad tool, designed to help dealerships manage every aspect of handling part-exchanges, and will be able to share the details of incoming part-exchange vehicles in order to maximise its selling opportunities as a result.

As well as helping car dealers standardise their vehicle appraisals in a professional and customer-friendly manner, Dealer Pro can also be used to provide accurate market valuations, capture photographs and manage a part-exchange inventory and vehicle disposals.

Commenting on the implementation of Dealer Pro, Jason Cranswick, commercial director at Jardine, said: “It connects our business in a new way, cementing relationships and stimulating teamwork and co-operation across our dealerships as well as strengthening manufacturer partnerships. 

“This all combines to create an environment which makes brand repatriation straightforward and commercially advantageous.”

Guy Thomas, head of product for BCA, said: “Dealer Pro helps dealers properly control and manage their part-exchange appraisal process and provide the right level of valuation data. 

“A key element of BCA Dealer Pro is helping dealer groups identify and retain retail quality vehicles within the group, maximising profit opportunities.”
