CHICAGO -

A new vehicle home delivery service from Montway Auto Transport is an end-to-end automotive transportation service for dealers to provide estimated delivery dates and shipping prices on their website.

The managed service handles shipping quotes and vehicle delivery updates in a single online portal. With this website-integrated widget, dealerships can expand their targeted audiences with nationwide selling opportunities.

The online widget displays vehicle shipping prices and estimated delivery dates in real-time.

That provides greater insight for consumers browsing online, Montway said.

The white-labeled widget can be placed on the detail page for vehicles listed for sale on a dealership’s website using Montway Auto Transport’s proprietary shipping technology.

Users can customize the widget to match the look, feel, and branding of the dealer website. Or, Montway said, just a back-end solution can be provided.

The online dealership portal is a managed service, and with the service, dealers can handle consumer shipping requests. Montway said the service provides full transparency from quote to delivery.

It does that through the use of tools such as visual status charts, search filters, exports, and reporting.

“The dealership model is now online and dealers need sophisticated shipping technologies to better compete with online auto sales disruptors,” Montway Auto Transport principal chief executive officer Dimitre Kirilov said in a news release. “The online widget and portal keep dealers focused on reaching new customers outside of their traditional markets with more detailed information no other auto transport company can provide.”

“We’re excited to announce the launch of Montway Auto Transport’s Vehicle Home Delivery service to support dealerships drive out-of-market consumer leads and manage auto-shipments online,” said Montway executive vice president of business development Mike Trudeau. “As one of the nation’s leading auto transport companies, Montway is leading the industry by providing dealerships innovative online estimation and logistical management tools to simplify the vehicle transportation process.”
