E-Commerce in the Automotive Industry

BMW Gebrauchtwagen

The central BMW used-car database

Accessed via the BMW extranet (Germany) and a dealer portal (Europe) — in each case by more than 800 BMW car dealers. Sales of used vehicles from the BMW Group (fleet vehicles) to dealers. Reservations, sales, billing and delivery are all automated. Control of the sales process through Area Manager on the BMW Intranet.

Offers of used vehicles from dealer to dealer can be placed automatically or over the Extranet and, if desired, can be passed on to various Internet exchanges for end customers (Germany).
