Jigcar expands into accident repair sector
AI-powered vehicle transport and operations solution provider Jigcar is expanding into the accident repair sector.
Launched in 2024 as a service for dealers, it has now identified opportunities with accident repairers and is working with larger groups to explore the efficiencies its Transport Management Software (TMS) platform can deliver.
With larger accident repairers typically running their own single and multi-car transporters from individual sites, Jigcar believes significant cost savings can be achieved by using its logistics optimisation algorithm to increase resource utilisation.
Elliott Perks, CEO and Co-Founder of Jigcar, said: “Having achieved significant cost and time savings for many of the UK’s biggest franchised dealer groups and car supermarkets, we believe Jigcar can also help large, multi-site repair groups reduce their vehicle transport costs.
“We’re on a mission to provide these repairers with total visibility of vehicle movements across all their sites. Greater optimisation will make empty transporters, often passing each other on the same roads, a thing of the past.
“By digitising and centralising the management of vehicles undergoing repair, we can address wastage to make every movement count. This will ensure repairers lower their costs by reducing in-house driver downtime, eliminate empty journeys and use third-party transport providers more effectively.
“We see the accident repair sector as a strategically important area for future growth, alongside our expanding presence in the dealer sector.”
