As the country enters stage two of the roadmap out of lockdown, automotive retailers are opening their doors again and our Copart Automotive team is here to help them get their sales moving again!
After months of closure for dealerships, show rooms, car supermarkets and traders, this week they’ll be getting back to business and will be keen to start clearing old stock from their shop floors.
12 months after the pandemic started, and with lockdown restrictions easing, the UK is finally moving positively and progressively forward. The economy is ready to be stimulated, and with office spaces opening and businesses trading again, we expect to see more and more people return to the roads.
Over the course of the last 12 months, we have adapted the way we work at Copart. Whilst remaining fully operational, we have been able to serve both our Members and Sellers effectively and efficiently across the globe whilst maintaining their safety.
Copart’s digital platform has allowed the entire sales process to continue operating successfully throughout the pandemic. Advancements and improvements in our tech platforms have enabled us to streamline and improve the customer journey, making it quicker and easier.
Throughout the last year, and moving forward as the automotive industry re-opens, Copart remains a stable partner to the wider automotive industry.
We bring with us a wealth of experience and a variety of platforms and services that will enable our automotive customers to progress with sales faster and more efficiently.
