COTRA Autotransport AG will be relying on INFORM's IT solutions at its vehicle logistics center

As a specialist for vehicle logistics and vehicle transport, COTRA in Switzerland counts among its customers not only car manufacturers but also dealerships, second-hand dealers, vehicle subscription services and other companies, providing these with a very broad range of upstream and downstream services. At its vehicle logistics center in Studen alone, the company processes over 50,000 new and used vehicles annually. This includes handling the return of used hire cars, company, leased and subscription vehicles, as well as inspections, technical and optical preparation, maintenance, and customer-specific PDI (pre-delivery inspections), customs clearance, cleaning, storage and transport of vehicles. The new systems from INFORM, which are based on operations research and artificial intelligence, are set to make complex logistics processes even more flexible and transparent.

The digitalization and optimization project aims to ensure full transparency of all vehicle logistics processes, greater efficiency based on algorithmically optimized work sequences, and improved flexibility with customers.

Results

• Individual, dynamic, and transparent planning, control and evaluation of processes
• Significant added value for customers
