Industry

Automotive / Used Vehicles / Marketplace

Geography

Germany — nationwide, with regional analysis across all 16 Bundesländer

Data Coverage

Used vehicle listings, pricing, mileage, demand patterns, dealer vs private listings

Actowiz Solutions delivered used-car marketplace intelligence for a German auto dealer group — aggregating Mobile.de and AutoScout24 listings with real-time pricing benchmarks, regional demand signals, and cross-Bundesland arbitrage analytics across Germany.

Client Overview

The client is a German auto dealer group operating 28 dealerships across Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Baden-Württemberg. With Mobile.de and AutoScout24 dominating German used-car classifieds, real-time marketplace intelligence was essential for inventory acquisition and pricing.

Germany's used-car market is Europe's largest — and Mobile.de and AutoScout24 together cover virtually all of it, making them the definitive data sources.

Business Challenges

 

Pricing Benchmark Complexity

German used-car pricing depends on make, model, year, mileage, condition, equipment level, and TÜV status — requiring sophisticated benchmarking.

Regional Pricing Variation

Same vehicle often priced differently across Bavaria, NRW, and other Bundesländer — arbitrage opportunities for dealer groups.

Dealer vs Private Listings

Mobile.de and AutoScout24 mix dealer and private-seller listings — different pricing dynamics required segmentation.

Equipment-Level Parsing

German car listings detail extensive equipment (Ausstattung); equipment level significantly affected value and required parsing.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

  • Aggregate Mobile.de & AutoScout24 listings across Germany

  • Compute pricing benchmarks by make, model, year, mileage, equipment

  • Detect regional pricing arbitrage opportunities

  • Segment dealer vs private-seller listings

  • Deliver dealer-grade intelligence via REST API and dashboard
