For dealerships, the process from auction purchase to showroom readiness is one of the most critical operational paths. Every hour a vehicle sits idle — whether at the auction, in transit, or waiting for recon — represents lost opportunity. Inefficient auction-to-showroom workflows not only increase holding costs but also slow inventory turnover, disrupt staffing schedules, […]

As dealership groups expand across multiple rooftops, their logistics challenges grow just as quickly. Moving vehicles between locations, managing auction purchases, balancing inventory, and coordinating recon all become significantly more complex. Without a centralized transport strategy, inefficiencies multiply — and so do costs. For multi-store dealer groups, transport isn’t just a support function. It’s a […]

Damage prevention has become one of the most important priorities for dealerships, auctions, and remarketing partners. With margins tightening and vehicle values rising, even minor transport-related issues can create major slowdowns — from delays in reconditioning to disputes that drain time and resources. As the industry shifts toward digitalization, two tools are becoming essential for […]

For most dealerships, auctions are the backbone of their used-car inventory pipeline. But while auctions are fast-paced on the bidding side, the logistics that follow can be surprisingly slow — and these delays have a direct, measurable impact on dealer profitability. Every hour a vehicle sits at an auction instead of moving toward your lot […]

For dealerships, inventory turnover is one of the most important performance metrics. Every additional day a vehicle stays off the lot increases holding costs, delays reconditioning, slows sales velocity, and impacts profitability. While dealers focus heavily on acquisitions, pricing, and merchandising, one factor often gets overlooked: transport efficiency. The time between purchasing a vehicle and […]

Automotive auctions are evolving faster than ever. Dealers, fleet managers, and remarketing partners now operate in an environment where speed, transparency, and technology-driven coordination directly influence profitability. With more vehicles moving through digital lanes, and buyers relying on real-time data to make purchasing decisions, auction logistics must transform to keep pace. Below is a practical […]

For dealerships, damage claims are more than just a logistical inconvenience — they’re a drain on time, money, and customer confidence. When a vehicle arrives with transport-related damage, the dealership must navigate paperwork, delayed retail readiness, repair costs, and dissatisfied buyers. Even minor damage slows inventory flow and directly impacts profitability. While no transport operation […]

In today’s highly competitive automotive market, dealers operate on thin margins and tight timelines. Every day a vehicle sits off the lot — whether at an auction, another dealership, a port, or a distribution hub — represents lost revenue and increased holding costs. Transport isn’t just a logistical function anymore; it’s a strategic lever that […]

The automotive logistics sector is undergoing a major transformation. Dealers, OEMs, and auctions today operate in fast, data-driven environments where delays, uncertainty, and slow communication are no longer acceptable. As the demand for transparency and efficiency continues to rise, real-time tracking has become one of the most critical tools in modern vehicle transport. What was […]

In the automotive industry, timing, coordination, and consistency are everything. Dealerships, OEMs, and auctions depend on predictable vehicle movement to keep their operations functioning — from sales cycles to production timelines. Yet many businesses continue to rely on inconsistent carriers, unverified local drivers, or last-minute transport options without understanding the real costs behind those decisions. […]

In today’s dealership and OEM logistics landscape, visibility is no longer a luxury — it’s a baseline requirement. Delays, miscommunication, and unclear ETAs cost teams both time and money, impacting sales, production timelines, and customer expectations. Real-time tracking has emerged as one of the most transformative tools in the auto transport industry, giving businesses complete […]

Why Auction-to-Dealership Transport Is One of the Most Critical Steps in Inventory Acquisition For many dealerships, auctions are the lifeblood of their inventory pipeline. Whether sourcing late-model units, filling gaps in specific trims, or stocking used-car departments, auctions provide essential volume. But while bidding may take minutes, getting vehicles from auction yards to dealership lots […]

Why Transport Delays Are a Bigger Problem Than Most Dealers Realize For many auto dealerships, delayed vehicle deliveries are seen as an occasional inconvenience – an issue that disrupts the day but not the bottom line. In reality, even minor transport delays trigger significant financial, operational, and reputational consequences. When vehicles arrive days later than […]

The Shifting Landscape of OEM Distribution in 2025 In 2025, OEMs face a more complex and dynamic distribution environment than ever before. Production fluctuations, evolving consumer demand, EV rollout schedules, and multi-state dealer networks place intense pressure on manufacturers to move vehicles efficiently. While factories and logistics centers are optimized for output, the final step […]

The Financial Pressure of Aging Inventory for Dealerships For auto dealerships, inventory aging is more than a logistics issue – it’s a direct financial liability. Every day a vehicle sits unsold, it loses value, ties up capital, increases flooring costs, and reduces the dealership’s ability to rotate stock efficiently. In a competitive market where margins […]
