ATLANTA – Ready Auto Transport brings a comprehensive set of transportation services to the automobile industry. Both their full-service and self-managed options give shippers and transporters effective ways to interact to optimize their transportation efforts. “Ready is a team of dedicated transportation experts with state-of-the-art technologies designed to make its customers and partners more productive,” said Mark Jensen group vice president and founder of Ready. “This new partnership with Manheim allows us to expand our integration into the marketplace, and Ready will remain focused on its mission to service the entire automobile industry from new cars, to transport hauls, to drive away services.”
Ready’s full-service offering works like a valet service where transporters, selected by Ready, handle it all – from sourcing to tracking to delivery. Carefully screening its 4,400+ carriers and 35,000+ trucks to ensure safety, insurance standards and on-time delivery, Ready does the worrying for customers. This full-service option is designed for customers who want a deal put together quickly and who do not want to be bothered with the details.
Ready also offers a self-managed option in 1Dispatch.com. For dealers, the new 1Dispatch.com solution is simple. Manheim purchases are automatically pushed to 1Dispatch.com via the 1Dispatch Partner Connect feature, eliminating the need to manually input information, and allowing dealers to facilitate their own deals by shopping around for the price and terms that best suit their needs. While Ready’s trusted network of 4,400+ carriers is at their disposal, dealers can also choose to select from their own list of preferred carriers – even from outside the Ready network. This allows for a wide array of carriers to bid on their loads and compete for the dealer’s business.
Ready Auto Transport’s solutions are available throughout the Manheim marketplace including Manheim.com, OVE.com and Simulcast products, and they are also available for customers making purchases in-lane at Manheim auctions across the country. No other vehicle remarketing company offers this kind of transportation solution in their marketplace. With Ready Auto Transport, Manheim now provides a comprehensive end-to-end vehicle remarketing solution from the point of purchase to the last mile – dealership delivery. As more dealers continue to buy, sell and manage their used vehicle inventory with Manheim, transportation will be better than ever with dealers having two great offerings to choose from – full-service or self-managed – to meet their needs. Both put dealers in control, save them time and allow them to do business when and how they want.
Manheim and Ready are officially unveiling their new transportation offering at NADA where the company’s product managers will offer live demonstrations on how the Ready Auto and 1Dispatch.com solutions work at its booth, #622.
