ACV launches app to streamline operations for car haulers

Even in a digital wholesale environment, there are many boots-on-the-ground tasks that have to be completed.

Like transporting the car from buyer to seller.

Along those lines, ACV has launched the “Carrier by ACV Transportation” app that lets car haulers more efficiently manage pickups and deliveries.

The app is available for free to all ACV registered carriers, who can use it to streamline their processes and eliminate the need for paper pickup and drop-off slips.

“Our vehicle carriers are a crucial part of the ACV Auctions marketplace, providing dealers with seamless and efficient options for vehicle pickup and delivery without leaving the ACV Auctions app. We saw an opportunity to leverage our expertise in building digital products to help improve the way carriers engage with ACV,” ACV chief operating officer Vikas Mehta said in a news release.

“Our carriers need digital tools to streamline their business and speed up payment. With the Carrier by ACV Transportation app, we are reducing their liability, digitizing traditional paper processes and providing photographic evidence of the condition of a vehicle at pickup and drop-off,” Mehta said. “In the automotive industry, time is money, and we’re proud to offer digital solutions to all members of the automotive ecosystem in order to reduce friction and add efficiency to legacy, manual processes.”

The app is available in the Android and Apple stores.
