Inform has set up a vehicle yard management system at Auto1 Group’s first used-vehicle reconditioning centre in Hemau, Germany
The 35,000 sq.m Hemau facility, which is located near Regensburg in Bavaria, is the first in-house centre for reconditioning used cars intended for the Autohero channel specifically, according to the company. It has capacity to process 16,000 used vehicles annually.
The Inform digital yard management system, which was implemented at the site within just two weeks, enables dispatchers and planners to track exactly where a particular vehicle is at any given time and identifies at what stage it is in the work schedule. That includes interior fabric refurbishment and cleaning, electronics testing, paint and damage repair and powertrain diagnostics.
