UK used-car retailer scaling digital infrastructure and customer experience
Motorpoint is a public used-car retailer with 501–1,000 UK-based staff operating a legacy Microsoft stack (SQL Server, .NET, Power Platform, Dataverse) while actively replacing Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement. Hiring velocity is accelerating across operations and sales (49 of 64 roles), but engineering headcount remains thin (6 roles), suggesting the company is prioritizing operational scaling and customer-facing improvements over platform rearchitecture. Active projects center on customer journey streamlining, website performance, and employee engagement—reflecting acute pain around NPS targets, high-traffic spikes, and user experience performance.
