Dealers selling aged inventory as well as those picking up used cars at independent auctions now have a new transportation option for these vehicles, thanks to Whann Technology Group's new partnership.

The company has selected online transport marketplace uShip to power its Whann Logistics platform.

The WTG-uShip partnership will work to help dealers get vehicles to and from auction or between private sellers by offering another independent transport option — "free from any dependence or reliance on incumbant providers," WTG management pointed out.

The initial rollout will be in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, the company said.

The deal adds to WTG’s agnostic transport options for three key areas: at independent auctions, on WTG Simulcast, and on the newly launched WTG Global.

“uShip is the ideal platform partner since we share similar DNA when it comes to the marketplace approach,” said Greg Lubrani, chief operating officer of Whann Technology Group. “Independent auctions have been asking for this for a long time, and through our uShip partnership, they now have a state-of-the-art, seamless and, most importantly, an agnostic transportation solution they can provide to customers.”

uShip launched back in 2004, and today, a vehicle is listed for transport every two minutes on its marketplace, the companies shared.

Its transporter network includes almost 3,000 feedback-rated, compliant vehicle transporters.

And uShip’s platform includes a native mobile app as well as proprietary pricing, tracking, payments and feedback systems.

“With car buying moving online and turning less local, dealers have had a strong surge in shipping demand,” said Dean Xeros, general manager and vice president of uShip Motors. “When it comes to creating efficiencies, uShip and WTG are very like-minded in how we approach the marketplace model, which ultimately empowers independent dealers to compete on a level playing field.”
