Porsche Accelerates E-Commerce Strategy with Launch of New Pre-Owned Vehicle Search Platform
Porsche is fast-tracking its e-commerce strategy to meet growing customer demand for digital access to the brand. In the latest step, Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA) launched its new pre-owned and Certified Pre-Owned vehicle search platform, Porsche Finder. With the launch of the new platform, PCNA is streamlining and enhancing the customer’s ability to connect from home with one of the 192 U.S. Porsche dealerships and quickly find precisely the vehicle they’re looking for. The new platform includes optimized search filters for model and generation, vehicle equipment and packages, pricing options, dealer inventory search without zip code, in addition to an expanded selection of interior and exterior vehicle colors (including cabriolet roof colors). Porsche Finder was developed in cooperation between PCNA and Porsche Digital.
“Now is the time to put our foot on the accelerator to make the Porsche digital experience as stellar as our cars,” said Klaus Zellmer, President and CEO of PCNA. “Providing seamless access to our products is a top priority in our existing e-commerce strategy, with the goal of creating a one-stop shop for new and pre-owned vehicle search and purchase, which will follow down the road. For now, the new Porsche Finder platform for pre-owned vehicles will enhance the customer experience and greatly benefit our dealer partners.”
