Car salvage business Bluecycle rolls out new developments

April 17, 2013 - PRLog -- In response to feedback from its annual customer survey, online auction specialist, Bluecycle, has introduced a number of new benefits to cement its position as market leader in the trading of car salvage.  These include the following:

•   A logistics service via uShip, the global online transport marketplace. Free to use, uShip allows customers to choose from among thousands of feedback-rated vehicle delivery companies that bid competitively to win the business.  

•   A partnership with Euro Car Parts, the UK’s largest car and van parts distributor, offering Bluecycle customers a 25% discount on all product lines. Accessible via the Bluecycle home page, the discount is for a limited period and requires a minimum spend of £19.99.

•   A new and unique Bluecycle ‘Sellers App’, which enables the use of mobile devices when listing vehicles for sale.

•   The opportunity for traders who don't hold a Motor Salvage Operators (MSO) licence to sell through Bluecycle via one of its approved salvage contractors' yards, either by delivering the vehicle or arranging collection. On arrival, Bluecycle appointed representatives will complete an inspection, agree a reserve price with the seller and then upload the vehicle to Bluecycle’s auction website.

•   A ‘Member Get Member’ referral incentive.

Commenting on the new developments, Charlie Stewart, Customer Experience Manager, Bluecycle, said:

“The salvage market remains highly competitive, so it’s important that Bluecycle’s innovative approach extends beyond technology to all areas of the business, to make it easier for buyers and sellers alike. Our annual customer survey identified new ways of providing extra value to our customers so we are pleased to introduce a number of them this year.”

Having pioneered ‘push bidding’ technology so that users can view auctions in real time without having to refresh the page on the internet browser, Bluecycle anticipates that additional improvements made to its registration process will also help in attracting new customers and generating increased bidding activity during 2013, in Europe as well the UK.
