Logistics Firm Montway Auto Transport Launches Digital Platform

B2B logistics company Montway Auto Transport announced Monday (Aug. 1) that it has debuted a new digital platform, the Montway Automation Portal (MAP), aiming to boost efficiency for shippers and carriers.

The platform will also enable greater visibility for inbound and outbound vehicles to bolster inventory management, and will help manage and cut down on transportation costs, Montway said in its press release.

MAP is built on proprietary tech that leverages market-based pricing and a streamlined transportation management system. Per the release, users can get pricing, book orders and track units in real time by entering VINs.

The service will also reportedly come with a way to access public tracking links, which users can share with end customers, and it will also feature on-demand pricing and a central location to store digital records.

“The challenges keep mounting for dealerships, auctions, rental car companies and other businesses that rely on vehicle movements and our business customers want innovations to help them gain a competitive advantage,” said Mike Trudeau, executive vice president of business development. “The Montway Automation Portal provides the transparency they need to better manage inventories and increase speed to consumers.”

All of this comes as the wider transportation and logistics industry has been lagging behind on digital trends which have helped other industries modernize.
