EurotaxGlass’s launches new web portal for dealers
31st July 2007
EurotaxGlass’s, publisher of Glass’s Guide to Car Values, has launched GlassNet, a new web portal for car dealers designed to cut the administration and cost associated with trading in used cars. The portal can be viewed now, at www.glass-net.co.uk/launch.
GlassNet can be used to advertise stock on leading used car websites, produce valuations, and buy and sell vehicles with other GlassNet community members. Additionally, members can create bespoke point-of-sale marketing material, access used car pricing data to maximise profitability, complete vehicle provenance checks, and receive updates on the latest market trends from the Glass’s Guide editorial team.
The first GlassNet module to be launched is GlassNet Advertising (available now), which allows the dealer to create used car listings and broadcast them to used car websites including Auto Trader, eBay Motors, Exchange & Mart, Fish4Cars, What Car?, Autocar and the Daily Telegraph’s Motoring site.
Also available from launch is GlassNet Editorial, where the team responsible for the valuations that go into Glass’s Guide outline their thoughts on the latest new and used car trends affecting the UK’s motor trade. Other GlassNet modules will be launched later in 2007, including GlassNet Valuation, GlassNet Trade, a new online community that promises to make inter-dealer trade easier. GlassNet Point of Sale will allow members to create bespoke point-of-sale marketing material for individual vehicles in the form of ‘silent sales sheets’.
GlassNet Market Intelligence will provide data and analysis to help vehicle retailers improve sales profitability and stock turnover while the GlassNet Provenance Check will enable users to quickly evaluate the history of a used car alongside the valuation process, checking whether it has been written off or if it is subject to an outstanding finance agreement.
