Senger Group

What Senger Group does

Senger Gruppe (Senger Group) is a privately held German multi-brand automotive retail and service company founded in 1953 and headquartered in Rheine, Germany. It operates 55 car dealerships and workshops across Germany, offering new and used passenger and commercial vehicles across 17+ brands including Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Volkswagen, BYD, CUPRA, SEAT, Škoda, smart, MG, and Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge, plus heavy-truck marques (DAF, MAN, IVECO, FUSO, Isuzu).

Its offering is a portfolio of interconnected services rather than a unified software platform, organized into specialized sub-brands: Senger Fleet (managed fleet services), Senger Kühltransporter (refrigerated transport vehicles), Senger Public (municipal and specialty vehicles), Senger Starlack (paint and bodywork), and Senger Parts (parts and accessories). The technology stack consists of an online vehicle configuration, browsing, booking and customer-account platform; the Senger Fleet management system; workshop online-appointment booking; and authorized service networks (Alltrucks, OMNIPlus, MAN).

The business model derives revenue from five streams: one-time vehicle sales (new and used), workshop and service transactions, usage-based vehicle rental, recurring managed fleet services, and specialty vehicle upfitting. The company sells primarily to private individuals and business/fleet customers, with secondary serving of public-sector entities (municipal and specialty vehicles) and industry-specific verticals (taxi, care services, driving schools). Customer engagement is multi-channel: 55 physical showrooms, an e-commerce storefront, a dedicated fleet sales team, specialized divisions for verticals, owned newsletter ("Senger INSIDER"), editorial guides ("Ratgeber"), and regional sports/community sponsorships.
