Our strategic pillars
Marketplace
Continuing to evolve and improve our marketplace to offer the best online search experience.
The largest and most engaged consumer audience underpins our network effect marketplace model. We aim to maintain our leadership position across both new and used vehicles and continue to increase the breadth and depth of vehicles available to buy. Whilst creating value to allow retailers and manufacturers to increase sales, we continue to invest in the technology to enable the online car buying experience and in the onsite tools that consumers need to help them make the most informed decisions.
Digital retailing
Creating the leading platform which enables more of the car buying journey to be completed online.
We continue to evolve both our products and consumer experience, to bring more of the car buying journey online. By doing so, we aim to make the current process significantly more efficient, for both car buyers and our retailer customers. Having built the component parts of guaranteed part-exchange, reservations and finance we have the foundations in place so that we are ready to scale our full proposition. We will achieve this by creating an end-to-end deal building journey on Auto Trader which includes these component parts.
Data as a platform
Embedding our data and insight to enable our customers to make better and faster decisions.
A key strategic priority is to further embed our data into the industry, giving buyers and retailers up-to-date insight, allowing them to make better and faster decisions. We aim to provide both data and insight capabilities to support a multitude of customers across many segments, solving a variety of challenges. Our data provides the accuracy, scale and ease of integration to suit our customers’ needs. We continue to make progress; this year we have not only increased the volume of data we have shared but also the frequency.
