Autorola UK and DMN Group have signed a strategic partnership that will augment their service offerings.

The two businesses will deliver joint tender responses as they integrate services for potential OEM, dealer, fleet and leasing customers

Autorola will expand its service offering to OEM, dealer, fleet and leasing customers with a new vehicle storage solution using DMN Group’s six sites in Livingston, Warrington, Hixon, Tividale, Leighton Buzzard and Upminster.

The tie-up will also extend to vehicle imaging, preparation and refurbishment, in addition to the logistics service it already offers in partnership with DMN Group.

Autorola already offers a storage and fleet service proposition to multiple vendors in other European countries and said the tie-up was a natural next step for the UK business.

In turn, DMN Group will support Autorola’s onsite auction services by using the firm’s online remarketing platform. This will include holding timed auctions as well as customers being able to upload and sell overage stock via Autorola’s Autofind wholesale used car stock platform.

DMN Group will also have access to the Indicata used car insights platform to support its customers in the stock valuation of assets onsite, both at a wholesale and retail level, to give market intelligence in support of their remarketing activities.

Nick Chadaway, DMN Group’s MD, said: “We are looking forward to working with Autorola and its customers as well as being able to offer our customers Autorola’s range of online auction and used car pricing intelligence services.”

The two businesses will also deliver joint tender responses as they integrate all or part of their services for potential OEM, dealer, fleet and leasing customers.

“Both companies have many years of experience in their specific industry sectors, and we are excited at the opportunities that lie ahead as we join forces,” said Neil Frost, Autorola UK’s country manager.
