Strategic pan-European partnership between BCA and Nissan

BCA Europe and Nissan are proud to announce an agreement to become strategic partners with the aim of bringing Nissan’s remarketing operations in Europe to new heights.

By implementing a new pan-European ecosystem of remarketing tools, Nissan aims to improve remarketing efficiency with time-to-market reduction and a better management of used car pricing and residual values.

The main purpose of this agreement is to enhance Nissan’s current remarketing tools by deploying an all new UVMS (Used Vehicle Management System) in  6 countries (France, United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium) with the opportunity to expand to even more in the future.

BCA will support this by providing two key pillars of Nissan pan-European ecosystem of remarketing tools:

• A proven white label remarketing platform, providing full digital sales capabilities in each country and across countries, through which Nissan will remarket its used vehicles under its own branding to its dealer network.
• An inventory and buyback management system provided by Fleet Control Monitor – FCM, which belongs to the BCA Group, natively integrated with BCA’s white label platform, which allows to control the full vehicle lifecycle from registration, up to de-fleeting, remarketing and associated logistics.

These tools will enable and support the core remarketing business of Nissan’s European Regional Business Units capable to remarket more than 30,000 vehicles per year across Europe, in a fluid, transparent and profitable manner.

Antonio Melica, Deputy Vice President Sales Europe said: “This new remarketing system and all associated services will allow Nissan to revolutionize remarketing efficiency, compress time to market and boost price performance, hence helping to better drive the management of residual values and create a competitive advantage in the market.”

Nicolas Fenetre, European Business Development Director said: “Both companies are looking forward to further cooperation and are convinced that they have set the course for a successful future. BCA is proud of the establishment of this landmark partnership with Nissan and sees it as another important step towards defining new standards in international vehicle remarketing leveraging on well recognized capabilities.”
