At Schibsted Marketplaces, we're not just building software - we're reshaping how millions of people across the Nordic region buy and sell vehicles. Our platform powers some of the largest marketplaces in Scandinavia: Blocket in Sweden, Finn in Norway, DBA in Denmark, and Tori in Finland.

The Scale of Nordic Commerce

When people think of digital marketplaces, they often focus on global giants like Amazon or eBay. But in the Nordic region, Schibsted's marketplaces are the undisputed leaders, handling millions of transactions annually across four countries with distinct languages, regulations, and market dynamics.

The Numbers

• 20+ million monthly active users across all platforms
• 500,000+ vehicle listings at any given time
• 15,000+ car dealerships using our platform
• 4 countries, 4 languages, 4 different regulatory environments

Building a Unified Dealer Management Platform

Our mission extends far beyond simply providing listing platforms. We're developing a comprehensive, unified solution for dealer management that serves the entire Nordic automotive ecosystem. This platform consolidates operations across all Schibsted marketplaces, providing dealers with powerful tools to manage their inventory, customer relationships, and sales processes seamlessly across multiple countries and platforms.

The complexity of this undertaking cannot be understated - we're harmonizing different business models, regulatory requirements, and user expectations while maintaining the unique character and market positioning of each brand. Our dealer management solution provides a single interface for automotive professionals to efficiently operate across the entire Nordic region.
