DESPITE the Coronavirus pandemic which has led to large parts of the UK being in varying periods of lockdown, Oxford-based technology solutions provider, Ebbon-Dacs, has seen a sharp increase in usage of its electronic vehicle delivery and collection solution, moDel.
In the eleven months from January to end of November, there has been a 65% rise in new vehicle deliveries through the model-VM stand-alone version which is intended for vehicle deliveries which are not integrated with Ebbon-Dacs’ e-procurement platform, Leaselink.
Now the most popular form of the moDel solution, moDel-VM accounted for more than 341,000 vehicle movements between logistics companies, dealers, leasing companies, brokers and end-users, both fleet and retail, in just eleven months – a new record.
This compares with 225,000 vehicle movements for the full 12 months of last year which itself was a new record and an increase of 26% on the previous year.
So far this year, model-VM and its Leaselink-integrated stablemate, which is used mainly by major leasing companies, have together seen a record 429,000 vehicle movements – a 35% year on year increase – despite the Coronavirus restrictions.
