Payt has been the main sponsor of FC Groningen since the start of this football season. Beyond our enthusiasm for supporting the Groningen-based club, this sponsorship also creates opportunities to connect with businesses across a wide range of industries. In many cases, these connections lead to valuable collaborations. One such partnership was formalised last Sunday, prior to the match between FC Groningen and AZ, when Century Autogroep officially became a client of Payt.
About Century Autogroep
Founded in 1932, Century Autogroep holds dealership agreements with leading brands such as Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA, Volkswagen and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. The company combines vehicle sales with dedicated divisions for commercial vehicle modifications, rentals, leasing and repairs. With nearly 400 employees across eighteen locations, Century Autogroep plays a key role as a mobility partner in the northern region of the Netherlands.
Improving efficiency
Erik Meems, owner and managing director of Century Autogroep, is very pleased with the partnership with Payt.
“Choosing Payt was a well-considered decision. FC Groningen introduced us, and during our initial discussions I quickly realised that working with Payt would significantly improve efficiency in our debtor management. At present, several employees are involved in the invoicing process, using different systems. Payt simplifies, speeds up and streamlines this process – not only internally but also for our customers.”
The partnership was established through FC Groningen, which helped bring the two companies together. Erik Meems added:
“The strength of a business club lies in the opportunities it creates for members to do business with each other. Being able to contribute to that through this collaboration is something we greatly value.”
Proud partnership
Payt is equally enthusiastic about the new partnership. Aziz commented:
“We are experiencing rapid growth, and every new client is an exciting addition. But securing a client of Century Autogroep’s calibre – a highly respected name in the region – is truly fantastic. We are very proud to welcome Century Autogroep to our client base.”
