Founded in 2015, Stampyt’s AI-driven imaging technology
enables dealerships and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to boost their
second-hand vehicle sales by providing them with innovative digital solutions
to support aftersales and remarketing activities. In addition to photo and
video technology, Stampyt also develops and commercialises a suite of
complementary solutions allowing dealers and OEMs to, among others, inspect
vehicles remotely (leveraging on proprietary AI image editing capabilities) and
to digitally manage documents, based on blockchain technology.
Stampyt’s innovative and scalable technology supports the
digitalisation of the overall customer journey for dealerships and OEMs and is
complementary to Imaweb’s existing suite of digital software solutions. We
believe that Imaweb’s pan-European presence will support the accelerated
roll-out of Stampyt’s technology across the continent, building on its existing
position as a market leader in the French used car market. Following the
transaction, CEO Alexandre Launay will continue to lead the business alongside
Stampyt’s other Co-Founders, executing on the company’s mission to digitalise
the automotive industry.
“We are delighted to welcome the Stampyt team as part of
Imaweb today,“ said Patrick Prajs, CEO, and Julian Ciccale, Co-Founder and
Deputy CEO, at Imaweb. “Stampyt’s technology is innovative and additive to our
existing automotive software solutions. We believe that our continental scale
combined with Stampyt’s product offering will accelerate the digitalisation of
the entire customer journey for dealerships and OEMs across Europe.”
Alexandre Launay, CEO and Co-Founder of Stampyt added,
“We’ve been looking for the right partner to help accelerate our growth
internationally and our shared vision meant Imaweb was the natural choice. We
are excited to work with the teams at both Imaweb and PSG as we lead the
group’s innovation strategy going forward.”
PSG invested in Imaweb in May 2019, backing the company’s founders
to seek to transform the leading automotive CRM solutions provider in Spain
into a pan-European player. Since then, Imaweb has grown quickly through a
combination of organic growth and strategic M&A, most recently the
acquisition of Procar in Germany in January 2021. Today, Imaweb offers a full
suite of digital software solutions to dealerships and OEMs across Europe.
