Stockcoach Automotive Marketplace (S.A.M.) is revolutionizing how the automotive industry approaches stock management and trading. Launched in 2020, S.A.M. is a cutting-edge B2B marketplace designed to meet the evolving needs of dealers and traders. By connecting buyers and sellers of low-mileage and nearly-new vehicles, S.A.M. simplifies stock acquisition and accelerates operational efficiency.
S.A.M. was developed to disrupt traditional automotive trading practices by harnessing the power of digital technology. The platform seamlessly integrates with widely-used Dealer Management Systems (DMS) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software, enabling local traders, dealers, and super-dealer groups to access curated inventories directly from their existing tools.
The concept for S.A.M. was born within Cafimo in 2020, evolving from rough sketches into a fully operational platform. Rigorous testing ensured its readiness for exponential growth. By early 2024, Cafimo welcomed external investors to bring IT expertise and digital product know-how to S.A.M., accelerating its development. Just a few months later, in October 2024, S.A.M. achieved independence, complete with its own management team to safeguard neutrality for external partners.
Cafimo proudly remains S.A.M.’s majority stakeholder, holding 60% majority. This continued involvement underscores Cafimo’s belief in S.A.M.’s potential to lead the future of automotive stock trading while allowing the company to expand its network and capabilities independently.
