As mentioned previously, the company extends its operations well beyond mere car sales. Although Bertel O. Steen is a well-renowned car distributor, they offer a broad spectrum within the arena of sales and services. Their expertise reaches far beyond cars, as they are also an innovator in cross-cutting software solutions.

One of their goals for software development is to be as prepared as possible for an ever-developing service market. As the available cars today are getting better, the intervals between services are getting longer. This puts a higher demand on administrative resources as there is a need to have more cars through a service every day for the business to stay in profit. With these challenges in mind, the software developers at Bertel O. Steen have designed and developed DARS - Digital Aftersales Retail Solution. DARS does not only enable automated processes, but it also creates a fully digital journey for their customers and employees.

The control tower is also a new product they launched in March of 2024. With this product they can visualize the supply chain for their cars, from the development with the manufacturer to delivery at the store. Through an end-to-end visibility of the different parts of the supply chain, it will be possible to control and improve the cash flow and the working capital.
