Ghost Stories #101: Under the hood – the data edge at WeBuyCars
In this episode of Ghost Stories, The Finance Ghost goes beyond the headline numbers and gets under the hood of WeBuyCars with Deputy CEO Wynand Beukes and CFO Chris Rein. Instead of rehashing the latest earnings, the conversation focuses on what really matters: how the business is adapting to a rapidly shifting automotive market, from the rise of Chinese brands to increasing pressure on pricing and margins.
What sits at the heart of it all? Data - and how this informs pricing models, inventory strategies and expansion decisions.
