🚨EXCLUSIVE POD INTERVIEW!🚨 The latest in our series of Motor Trade Radio Supplier Specials showcases CarCare, the Swedish automated vehicle inventory specialist. We’re joined by John Miele who heads up the UK operations following the start-up’s debut here in 2023. In our wide-ranging interview, John discusses how the business launched in the UK and shares some of its early successes with Waylands, Vindis, Sinclair and HPL Motors. He also explains how the app-based system integrates with DMS platforms to provide smarter inventory management of new and used vehicles, improving visibility and stock turn. With the system already being used by some of Europe’s biggest dealer groups, John shares how its success in Sweden (where it is used by 50% of the country’s dealers) has enabled it to hit the ground running in the UK.
