ADESA reiterated Tuesday that its dealer customers have more when it comes to transportation services.

Just months after announcing the acquisition of OPENLANE, ADESA is already integrating its physical auction locations with CarsArrive. The company pointed out CarsArrive is a subsidiary of OPENLANE that ADESA also acquired in the deal finalized earlier this year.

OPENLANE’s transportation solution, CarsArrive, is one of the industry leaders in transportation options with more than 16 years of experience. The CarsArrive network includes more than 4,500 transport companies and 30,000 trucks, and all carriers are fully bonded and insured.

Customers can use the company’s Internet-based system to instantly review price quotes and delivery times, check available loads and also receive instant notification of available shipments.

The system also is able to consolidate shipments and optimize both full and partial loads in real time.

CarsArrive has been implemented at three ADESA auctions to date and will be available at seven locations within the next 30 days.

Management stressed all ADESA locations throughout the United States and Canada will be utilizing CarsArrive by December 2012.

“We are committed to recognizing synergies across all business units, even those that have just joined the KAR family of companies,” stated David Vignes, executive vice president of enterprise optimization for KAR Auction Services.

“The integration of CarsArrive will give customers a wider selection of national carriers via a completely automated and versatile online platform,” Vignes continued.

Tom Caruso, president and chief executive officer of ADESA, added “I am pleased to welcome CarsArrive to our auctions. Adopting the only integrated transportation solution allows us to better serve our customers and our industry.”

Finally, CarsArrive president and CEO Michael Briggs chimed in with, “I look forward to the opportunity to bring CarsArrive’s unique array of services to ADESA customers.

“For example, our customized dashboard systems with mobile capabilities deliver real-time data and analytics and provide complete, end-to-end transparency,” Briggs highlighted.
