DELIVERING A SUPERIOR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

Keep assets moving quickly through ACERTUS’ comprehensive automotive logistics solutions.

MEETING AUCTIONS’ NEEDS

A global pandemic, supply chain disruptions, a shortage of vehicle inventory to meet demand and shifting consumer-purchasing preferences have forced automotive auctions to adapt to unprecedented industry change. These current conditions have left many auctions with aged inventory and highmileage vehicles. As such, auctions have had to get creative with how they source and acquire inventory, expanding their search to large dealership groups and rental car companies that are far away or that they have no previous partnership with. At the same time, online shopping for vehicles took off at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with dealers quickly adjusting to address consumer demand by establishing online platforms. As an increasing number of dealers went online to both sell and source inventory, auctions expanded to digital retailing to meet this demand. Now, many auctions have virtual platforms where dealers can list vehicles for sale, while still maintaining the more traditional side of their business with physical locations. In recent years, exclusively digital auctions have also emerged. Whether an auction is brick-and-mortar, virtual or a combination of both, they’re all facing the same challenge of sourcing quality inventory to sell, picking up that inventory quickly and then getting it into the hands of customers in a timely and service-focused manner. This is where expert vehicle logistics can help. ACERTUS can ensure auctions have access to fast, reliable and on-demand transport solutions to keep vehicle inventory moving, while our tech-powered logistics upshift the customer experience. Ultimately, you need a logistics partner to:

• Increase speed to market
