Moving vehicles after sale or inspection sounds simple, until you’re the one responsible for the logistics.
Auction houses, vehicle inspection companies, and subcontracted transporters work across multiple locations, all while balancing customer expectations, compliance obligations, and tight timelines.
The global automotive logistics market is expected to reach $526.3 billion by 2032, up from $294.7 billion in 2024. That growth brings more complexity, and more pressure to get vehicle movement right.
You’ve got plater drivers doing handovers, transporters managing collections, and admin teams chasing paper PODs just to send an invoice.
Most operators are still using spreadsheets and manual planning tools. It works, until it doesn’t. And when it breaks, it costs you: late deliveries, billing delays, and endless back-and-forth about vehicle condition.
TrackTrans changes that. It gives you one connected platform to manage vehicle movements from start to finish, with real-time tracking, proof of condition, and faster payments.
Why Aftermarket Vehicle Movement Breaks Down
Vehicle movement in the aftermarket sector is messy for a reason. You’ve got multiple parties involved in every job, and no two clients have the same requirements.
Most businesses rely on disconnected tools:
- Spreadsheets for job planning
- Phones and email for scheduling
- Paper PODs and handwritten notes for condition reports
It leads to common, expensive issues:
- Disputes over delivery times or vehicle condition
- Manual paperwork that delays invoicing
- No audit trail to meet client or insurance requirements
- Scaling pains when adding subcontracted drivers
You’re doing more admin and less actual coordination.
To fix it, you need one platform that brings it all together.
How TrackTrans Solves It
TrackTrans gives aftermarket vehicle operators a smarter way to work – digitally, in real time, and with full traceability.
Transport Management System (TMS)
The TMS is where the day begins and ends.
- Tracks every vehicle in real time, from pickup to drop-off, across transporters, subcontractors, and plater drivers.
- Optimizes routes to save fuel and time, whether you’re moving one vehicle or 30.
- Manages job allocation, sending schedules to drivers directly and cutting out phone tag.
- Captures vehicle condition at each handover with timestamped and GPS-stamped evidence, including photos of every scratch, dent, or clean report.
You get full visibility and control, without needing to micromanage.
Mobile App (ePOD / ePOC)
Subcontracted drivers or internal teams can use the TrackTrans app to complete every handover with confidence.
- Capture proof of condition (ePOC) at pickup and delivery, including photos, location, and notes.
- Complete digital PODs (ePOD) instantly – no more waiting for signed paper to come back.
- Syncs directly to the platform, so back-office teams and clients can see updates as they happen.
No disputes. No delays. No “he said, she said.”
Why Integration Matters
Plenty of operators use some form of tracking or ePOD. But if those tools aren’t connected, you still have to chase updates, match records manually, and double-handle data.
TrackTrans combines the TMS and mobile app so everything flows into one system:
- Every movement is tracked
- Every handover is documented
- Every job is accounted for
You stop guessing where vehicles are. You stop waiting on paperwork. And you stop losing time to disputes.
Even better; subcontractors can use the app too, meaning you can scale without losing control.
Real Outcomes
TrackTrans customers in the automotive sector report measurable results:
- Faster invoicing – delivery, POD, and condition data upload instantly. Subcontractors complete jobs and invoices are triggered automatically once POD is submitted.
- Fewer disputes – every vehicle handover is logged with GPS-stamped photos, timestamps, and key handover records, giving a clear audit trail for cars often worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
- More efficient scheduling – jobs flow directly from your system into subcontractor platforms, reducing admin and ensuring the right work gets picked up without calls or emails.
Improved compliance – digital condition reports and proof logs are audit-ready, protecting both operators and clients in this high-asset-value market.
Take Control of Every Vehicle Movement
If you’re still managing aftermarket vehicle movement with whiteboards, spreadsheets, and paper handovers, you’re losing time and money every day.
TrackTrans gives you the tools to streamline the entire process, from job creation to delivery confirmation. You get full visibility, clean data, and faster payments, with less manual work.
