INSIGHT NETWORK LOGISTICS LAUNCHES NEW AUTO TRANSPORTATION GROUP

 

AUBURN HILLS, MI – Insight Network Logistics (INL) launched a new automobile transportation subsidiary, Insight Network Transportation (INT), to provide the used auto and remarketing industries with multi-modal, cost-effective vehicle transportation services.

 

With internet sales opening up larger markets for both buyers and sellers of used automobiles, there is a greater need for low-cost, long-haul transportation. INT’s mission will be to provide a combination of vehicle transportation services which help expand on-line selling opportunities for auto remarketers, private fleet owners, rental companies, and major holders of used auto portfolios. INT will deliver robust, on-demand solutions that take the hassle out of shipping, tracking and controlling lease turnbacks and inventory while giving customers greater control and visibility of the logistics process right from their desktop or wireless PDA device.

 

Parent company, Insight Network Logistics, has extensive access to rail and truck resources throughout North America and unparalleled electronic connectivity with automotive transporters and service providers via its VinVision® software. VinVision is INL’s web-native application developed exclusively for visibility, control and management of vehicle distribution.

 

“With the new transportation company, we are positioned to introduce advanced logistics capabilities to the auto remarketing industry,” commented Roland Fortner, General Manager and CEO of Insight Network Logistics. “This is a natural extension of our business model that complements and expands our menu of automotive logistics.” 

 

Insight Network Transportation can help auto remarketers save money and improve residual values by enabling them to take advantage of all modes of transportation more effectively. INT’s customers will be able to use VinVisionâ  to expand their on-line sales opportunities, improve customer service and take the worries out of transporting vehicles. INT will help auto remarketers make their entire turnback-to-sale process more visible, more responsive and more cost-efficient.
