GILBERT, AZ – JULY 27, 2017 – Ready Logistics brings a new level of automation and transparency to the manual process-oriented vehicle transportation sector with the launch of the HUB, a centralized communication platform that increases efficiency for clients. By automating procedures that typically delay vehicle movement, the HUB improves the carrier pickup process, speeds delivery and provides real-time insights.

“The vehicle logistics business hasn’t changed much in decades, using a manual process to get cars from point A to point B,” said Patrick Brennan, senior vice president of logistics at Cox Automotive. “At Ready Logistics, we’re on a mission to make it faster and easier for clients to move vehicles from anywhere to everywhere—and the HUB is an example of how we’re doing it.”

The Ready Logistics HUB’s two main tools increase efficiency across the transportation process:

• The Vehicle Assessment HUB allows location agents to provide 24/7 status updates, enabling carriers to experience a seamless pickup process and improve days to deliver. It also sends instant notifications that eliminate the need for phone calls to determine vehicle location. Additionally, this tool offers improved reporting and greater visibility into which locations are performing to ensure timely and accurate pickups.
• The My Vehicles HUB enables clients to access real-time status and the order history of their units in the Ready Logistics transportation system, eliminating the need to contact a representative. The tool’s dashboard allows clients to search VINs, export vehicle lists, view stats and average days to deliver, as well as track the performance of origination locations.

“The more we automate the transportation process and deliver valuable insights, the quicker our clients can get vehicles onto the frontlines of their dealerships or into an auction to be sold,” added Brennan.
