Vehicle Logistics
Vehicle logistics is the fascinating world of delivering cars from a truly global production to customers around the world. Quality and punctuality are important drivers to satisfy the customer´s needs in the vehicle logistics processes.
Overview
Vehicle logistics is a complex task focusing punctuality and quality in the vehicle distribution. In contrast to other logistics, the processes are highly unique due to the damage handling and hold management. Additionally, a car is often "work in progress" as it receives its accessories or full customization close to the customer´s location.
When INFORM started optimizing vehicle logistics systems, we considered concepts, algorithms and best practices from other sectors to develop the best possible solution. Today we offer vehicle logistics software systems specifically made and improved to empower companies around the world to enhance their part of the automotive outbound supply chain.
And already today we are shaping the industry's future. The availability of driverless cars and car2car communication will even further accelerate the need for intelligent vehicle logistics software systems taking decisions automatically. Just imagine your future yard management system automatically orchestrating the unloading of 3,000 vehicles from a vessel at an auto terminal...
