CentralDispatch.com Transport Platform Provides Missing Link for Online Vehicle Sales

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 7, 2008

CentralDispatch.com?, (http://www.CentralDispatch.com) the automobile industry's transportation marketplace, today announced that it provides the missing link for online vehicle sales by providing efficient access to vehicle transport via the Internet. Though vehicles have been available online for years, transportation was a difficulty that often slowed or prevented online purchase for dealerships.


CentralDispatch.com helps to solve this problem through its new Vehicle Transport Management system, which allows dealers to enter into contracts with car carriers and manage the entire delivery process online. Since launching the new toolset two months ago, the number of vehicles dispatched directly to carriers via the website has grown to more than 5,000 weekly. By moving this process online, the entire transaction is streamlined.


Joe Steinberger, CentralDispatch VP of Product & Business Development, commented, "One fundamental difference in buying a vehicle online is that the vehicle has to be moved; it is a physical asset. No one wants an 'e-vehicle.' The capability to buy at an online auction or sell from a dealer website has existed for quite some time, but arranging transportation was still an offline process. Today the online process has become almost seamless via CentralDispatch."


Jerry Scott, Sales Manager for Power Auto Group, has worked with CentralDispatch for over five years. "CentralDispatch is tied into our overall Internet sales. The Internet has obviously increased everyone's access to vehicles, but moving the vehicles was still difficult. And we always had the "one car" problem: we couldn't move single vehicles quickly or cost effectively. CentralDispatch has helped solve this problem for us. We now have access to so many carriers, nation-wide, that we can easily move single vehicles," Scott stated.????


As a part of the overall online buying process, CentralDispatch's user-friendly system simplifies transportation for dealers who purchase auction vehicles. When dealers know that a single vehicle or several truckloads of vehicles can be moved quickly and reliably, they can access a wider range of vehicles nation-wide, thus facilitating a better inventory mix.


With CentralDispatch.com, auto dealers and auctions can gain online access to virtually every licensed interstate car carrier in North America, a total of more than 5,000 carriers and tens of thousands of trucks. CentralDispatch saves time and money by transforming a paper, fax and phone based procedure into an online automated process that connects dealers and auctions to carriers.


CentralDispatch increases the efficiency of online vehicle sales by taking much of the hassle out of vehicle transportation. Dealers can receive vehicles faster and easier than ever. This improves online sales in two key ways. First, CentralDispatch's nation-wide access to carriers helps both online and bricks and mortar dealers increase access to available vehicles. Second, consumers are more willing to make online vehicle purchases when they know that dealerships can deliver their cars quickly and safely.


According to John Nicholson of eWayAuto.com, "As an online car dealer, years ago I saw the importance of using CentralDispatch.com to provide the best service possible when shipping is required. Vehicles arrive at their destinations faster using their services. And this typically results in a much happier buyer and better online feedback."????


Further, as auctions continue to offer more online options, they also benefit from the enhanced transportation services. Steinberger commented, "Auctions can benefit from using CentralDispatch themselves to facilitate transportation for their dealers, and by making sure that dealers know about the service. When it's easy and fast for dealers to transport vehicles, they can purchase more cars from auction."
