This is Sharebox

Our founder and CEO, Arne Eivind Andersen, started the journey in 2016. Today Sharebox develops and operates technology to streamline car dealership aftermarket workflows with self-service technology for workshop visits. We make work easier and customers happier with a digital customer journey and key exchange cabinets. Think about omnichannel features, such as electronic signature, mobile check-in, and invoice payment where customers don’t have to wait. We modernise the car rental experience with electronic signature & ID and self-service, opening up a world of value. Paperless and secure. Drive operational efficiency, compliance and cost savings. A win-win: for customers and car rental operators.

As Sharebox grows, we need more than accountants and controllers to manage finances. Working with top brands building worldwide delivery programs, we see the services of a chief financial officer (CFO) are required. Our financial expert will do much more than simply make sure the numbers add up at the end of the month. We are today a 20-employee firm, relying on our new CFO for critical financial strategies and performance management, based on backwards-looking analyses and forward-looking projections. Our new CFO’s day-to-day tasks may vary, but she or he will be focused on the future, using the past to inform and guide our overall financial performance.
