The used vehicle market is a significant component of the online sales portfolio of our parent company, Volkswagen. Vandoo is an auction platform that we have developed for VGSG and it was one of our first projects in close co-creation with our clients.
What exactly does Vandoo do? And how did the co-creation concept prove itself within the project? We spoke to the Project Manager, Herbert Langegger.
It might not be that long until ordering a car online will seem just as normal as buying clothes, books or music. There is a good way to go yet, but most car buyers already spend a good bit of time in cyberspace along the “customer journey” to their new car. One building block of Porsche Holding Salzburg’s online sales ecosystem, which we support with our applications, is the module for the online reservation of vehicles – and it was for this project that the development team received a Porsche Informatik “Change Award”!
Porsche Informatik has been developing projects for Volkswagen for many years, especially in the areas of vehicle recycling, order management and distribution. As a “Software Development Center” (SDC), we are now an official development partner within VW’s IT set-up and, as such, we are also fundamental to its IT strategy. This is a strong indication of how much trust has built up at our parent company in our competence over the last few years.

In November 2018 she took up her current role as the member of staff responsible for “innovative working environments and diversity management” at Porsche Holding Salzburg (PHS).
