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 provides us with 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 spread across eighteen locations, Century Autogroep plays a crucial role as a mobility partner in the northern region.
Improving Efficiency
Erik Meems, owner and managing director of Century Autogroep, is 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. Currently, multiple employees are involved in the invoicing process, using various 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 facilitated the connection between the two companies. Erik Meems commented: “The strength of a business club lies in the opportunities it creates for members to do business with one another. Being able to contribute to that through this collaboration is something we highly value.”
Proud Partnership
Payt is equally enthusiastic about the new partnership. Aziz remarked: “We are experiencing rapid growth, and every new client is an exciting addition. However, securing a client of Century Autogroep’s calibre—a highly respected name in the region—is truly fantastic. We are incredibly proud to welcome Century Autogroep to our client base.”
