They have identified a large increase in the numbers of new buyers, as well as sizeable increases in sales. \u201cThe figures are obviously specific to OPENLANE. But as our clients are car traders and dealerships, it\u2019s easy to see these figures as being indicative of evolutions across the automotive industry,\u201d says Gino Vleminckx, Chief Commercial Officer at OPENLANE Europe. \u201cIt\u2019s a strong and unmistakable move towards the use of online services. Quite simply, in this time, dealerships have to be online to provide the services their customers need. And not just their own sales. You need to be online to find suppliers. Otherwise you\u2019ll miss out while your competition scores.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Online<\/h2>\n<p>Although he expects the major increases have been driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, Vleminckx believes there is more to the story. According to him, customers prefer organizations that can provide maximum security when buying online, whether they\u2019re buying a pair of shoes or a vehicle. The predominance of digital services and satisfied buyers across all industries has helped to establish a sense of trust in working online. According to Vleminckx, every online trader has to find a way to build on this trust. \u201cThis is especially important when you\u2019re dealing in second-hand cars. The industry has to give buyers the confidence they would usually find when they physically see a car or take a test drive,\u201d he says. \u201cOPENLANE is particularly fortunate, selling cars that are former fleet vehicles or that come from renowned leasing companies. We still make sure any wear and tear or damage is extensively detailed in reports and photos so buyers see exactly what they\u2019re getting. In fact, we\u2019re introducing AI and machine-learning technology to raise the accuracy of our reports even higher. And we operate in such a way that sellers never have any financial risk, with a full resolution system in place. All of this has come from our commitment to push our systems further and build on the trust and reliability that our clients show us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-src=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/adesa_internet_in_pickels_sm-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large lazyload\" alt=\"Blog: OPENLANE Europe registers strong increase in car sales during pandemic\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/adesa_internet_in_pickels_sm-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/adesa_internet_in_pickels_sm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/info.openlane.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/adesa_internet_in_pickels_sm.jpg 1386w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/768;\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Opportunities<\/h2>\n<p>The trust and reliability is still just one detail in the overall picture. Vleminckx says that the automotive industry has to offer opportunities and services that are not available offline if it expects online sales to continue bearing fruit in the future. \u201cIt\u2019s up to us, as a company and as an industry, to convince buyers that this is where they want to be,\u201d he says. \u201cAt OPENLANE, we are offering services that will make these new customers want to stay. For example, they partner with OPENLANE to buy vehicles, but they can also sell their vehicles, which may be in their parking lot for too long and suddenly sell to a pool of 85,000 potential buyers. And all of them are professional car traders and dealers. How long does it take before 85,000 buyers or traders drop by your physical dealership?\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>A win for the industry<\/h2>\n<p>This has a lot to do with the reach that comes with working online. It\u2019s allowed everyone from clothing companies to post-modern artists to reach every corner of the globe. \u201cIt\u2019s the same for OPENLANE,\u201d says Vleminckx. \u201cWe are one of the first companies in the automotive industry to serve the whole of Europe. We do all the tax, customs forms and other paperwork and arrange all the logistics so that our buyers and sellers have nothing to worry about. And our figures show this is clearly what the industry is looking for. <strong>From 2019 to 2020, the number of new buyers increased by:<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>80% in Austria<\/li>\n<li>7% in Belgium<\/li>\n<li>85% in France<\/li>\n<li>49% in Germany<\/li>\n<li>35% in Italy<\/li>\n<li>109% in The Netherlands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Permanent change?<\/h2>\n<p>Does this spike demonstrate a permanent change? Will the industry go back to more traditional face-to-face methods in the future? \u201cIt\u2019s an interesting question,\u201d says Vleminckx. \u201cBut working online doesn\u2019t exclude buyers from working offline. It\u2019s just an extra tool in the toolbox. And at the moment, it\u2019s an especially useful one.\u201d With the pandemic still raging across Europe, it will be quite some time before there are any clear signs of whether the change will become permanent. At the moment, dealers simply do not have the luxury of waiting to see whether offline trading will return to the forefront.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OPENLANE, an online car auction platform that provides
