Autotrakker Ltd - Automotive Logistics Support Systems

Autotrakker have developed key operating tools in helping drive down the costs of outbound vehicle logistics for both new and used cars. We have developed mobile systems (Park 'n' Mark), designed to provide continuity of operation in the event of communication interruptions or hardware failures. Such events have a severe and immediate impact on any operation and result in significant on-costs to the operation, e.g. Delayed loading and departure of a ship.

The world automotive market is undergoing marked rationalisation and is adopting ever increasing competitiveness and, in Europe, over capacity on the one hand and the expectations and changes in consumer demands on the other.

Controlling costs are a key element in maintaining competitiveness.

“After many years of leaning out the inbound supply chain as well as the in-plant material logistics we have reached a status where any improvements on this side of the business are difficult to achieve …. The biggest improvement seems to be on the outbound vehicle logistics side from plant to customer”. Dr. H-B Bong, European Manager, Vehicle Logistics, Ford of Europe.

Failsafe systems

All our systems feature failsafe mechanisms which mean that the operations may continue if one or more element fails.
