Manheim Logistics Invests in New Facility to Meet Growing Transport Needs
Move combines Ready Logistics and Central Dispatch operations; positions company to serve evolving mobility sector

PHOENIX To support the transport needs of its shippers, carriers and the evolving mobility sector, Manheim Logistics Solutions recently moved to a larger, upgraded office facility in Phoenix. Backed by a $2.7 million investment, the combined Ready Logistics and Central Dispatch operations now have ample space to accommodate anticipated business growth and expanded service offerings.   

Manheim Logistics signed a five-year lease for more than 51,000 square feet on the top two floors of the Sky Harbor Towers building. The redeveloped complex includes a dedicated training area, video teleconference capabilities, open workspaces for greater collaboration, a fitness center and a café. Located close to Manheim Arizona and Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, the site provides added transport accessibility and convenience. The funds for the facility are in addition to an earlier investment the company made in its technology platforms, which helped Ready Logistics and Central Dispatch combined, transport close to ten million vehicles last year. 

“As Cox Automotive transforms the way the world buys, sells, owns and uses cars, Manheim Logistics is working to make transportation an inherent part of the automotive transaction rather than a separate one,” said Jim Williams, senior vice president of Logistics for Cox Automotive Inventory Solutions.

Clients know that fast, efficient and cost-effective vehicle delivery enables them to sell inventory quickly and generate more revenue. When seeking reliable transport services and peace of mind, they often turn to one of Manheim’s Logistics solutions:

“The move to an expanded facility supports our transition from offering full- and self- service options to being a provider that delivers seamless, combined solutions that meet clients’ diverse needs and drive value,” added Williams.
