GILBERT, AZ – Dealers and commercial clients seeking transportation efficiencies and cost savings are turning to Cox Automotive’s Ready Logistics in record numbers. The full-service logistics provider moved more than 194,000 vehicles in January 2017, experiencing its best month ever and a 55 percent increase compared to last January’s volume. This surge signals a desire in the marketplace for turnkey, end-to-end logistics and transportation solutions.
“Our uptick in business reflects clients’ desire for streamlined, reliable pick-up and delivery services that produce efficiencies and peace of mind,” said Patrick Brennan, senior vice president of Logistics Solutions at Cox Automotive. “Backed by Ready Logistics’ exclusive automated processes and transparent, competitive pricing, we can help clients move one to a thousand vehicles across short or long distances.”
In-lane or online, the company connects automotive dealers, auctions, commercial clients and car owners with a nationwide network of more than 6,500 vetted carriers. It further simplifies the vehicle movement process by providing tracking reports. And, what ultimately matters is that Ready Logistics can reduce the time needed to transport vehicles to dealers’ lots, enabling clients to more quickly sell their inventory and generate revenue.
In addition, Ready Logistics partners with other Cox Automotive brands to create greater value for its clients. For example, the “Ready. Set. Pause.” program allows dealers who buy DealShield’s Automatic Purchase Advantage guarantee and choose Ready Logistics’ full-service transportation services to stop the clock on their coverage while a vehicle is in transit.
“Our goal is to delight clients with innovative solutions and exceptional service,” added Brennan. “The ability to transport vehicles quickly and cost-effectively, with little effort required by clients, will become even more essential as the market soon fills with an anticipated abundance of off-lease vehicles.”
