INDIQATOR Solutions has appointed Gary Van Gils as business development manager and Stewart Jones as key relationship manager to strengthen its commercial team as the company continues to grow its presence in the Australian automotive market. 

Mr Jones joins from his role as general manager of Vital Software, one of Indiqator’s sister companies within Vela APX. He previously worked with Xtime.

Indiqator said he brings strong, established relationships across the company’s key customer accounts and a customer-first approach to account management. 

Mr Van Gils has nearly two decades of automotive leadership, previously working with some of the industry’s most respected brands including Kia, Citroën, Mitsubishi, Mazda and Geely. 

His career covers dealership service operations, aftersales, dealer management and sales, giving him a ground-up understanding of the pressures faced by dealers.  

In his new role, he will work with dealers across Australia to help them unlock more value from the Indiqator platform.

Indiqator head of business development Australia and New Zealand Allan Wright welcomed both appointments. 

“Gary and Stewart both bring genuine, on-the-ground experience of what dealers need day to day, and a track record of building lasting partnerships,” Mr Wright said. 

“That kind of experience is invaluable as we continue to strengthen our partnerships and help dealers get more value from the Indiqator platform.” 

Mr Van Gils said he was looking forward to working closely with dealers to support their businesses.  

“I’ve spent my career understanding dealerships from the ground up, and I’m excited to bring that experience to Indiqator to help dealers get more out of the platform,” Mr Van Gils said.  

Mr Jones said he was pleased to be back working alongside many familiar faces in the industry.
