🤔 💰 🚗 THE BUDGET'S IMPACT ON DEALER GROUP LOGISTICS COSTS 🚗 💰 🤔 📈 NI for employers & minimum wage going up means transport providers will likely increase their rates - this will be worst for groups that don't have pre-agreed rates at a group-level, based on forecast volume, with carefully chosen providers. Pricing upon movement request, per movement, is already the more expensive way of moving cars - and that will only go up. 📈 NI for employers also means any employed drivers will cost more - it's a great time to ask yourself if you're maximising the efficiency of these drivers? 📈 Minimum wage is going up by 6.7%, from £11.44 to £12.21 meaning any 0 hour contract drivers are going to cost more too - again, it's a great time to ask yourself if these drivers are operating to maximum efficiency? 👀 📉 OUR ADVICE TO KEEPING COSTS DOWN 📉 👀 1) Agree group-level rates, based on forecast volumes, with hand-picked third party transport providers - and ensure commitment to moving cars within a certain timeframe is part of any agreement. Time = money, especially when it costs £40 a day to hold a car (depreciation & interest fees etc). 2) Review how many internal drivers and 0 hour contract drivers you have on your books across the group, measure how many movements they are achieving per shift, and question where the wastage might be 3) Leverage software to track, analyse and ultimately optimise your logistics cost base (wink wink, nudge nudge Jigcar's Logistics Management product) 🗣️ If you'd like a free consultation session on your logistics model & costs, feel free to book one in with the Jigcar team here: https://lnkd.in/e69k3ECg 🧩 🚗

🎉 Huge congrats to Lewis Evans for hitting the 6-month mark at Jigcar—officially our longest-serving team member! Okay, okay, so the competition was limited as our founding engineer and first employee. 🙈 But seriously, thank you, Lewis, for the incredible contributions you’ve made so far! Here’s to many more months (and milestones) of game-changing impact together. 🚀 P.S. He’s not technically contractually obligated to wear Jigcar-branded clothing all the time…but he’s definitely become our unofficial engineering mode model. 😆

🚗 On the Road Again! 🚗 This week, our team hit the road to visit the fantastic folks at Perrys Motor Sales Ltd.

Great day attending Fleet & Mobility Live today. Along with interesting conversations with other technology suppliers, dealer groups, OEMs, fleet and leasing businesses… managed to squeeze in some F1 scalextrics and enough freebie sweets for the train journey home. 🏎️ 🍬

The team will be attending Fleet & Mobility Live tomorrow! Look out for Rupert Wood and Jonathan Pollock to learn more about Jigcar, and how it could support your fleet operation.

🤔 How to unlock logistics as a competitive advantage? 💡 Create an intentional group-wide logistics strategy Letting each dealership site operate their own logistics processes can result in: 👎 Sub-optimal transport methods 👎 Poor visibility across the group 👎 No performance monitoring 👎 High transport rates The team at Jigcar work with you to change this; to unlock the operational efficiencies that your logistics has the potential to provide. We're the only solution that can be flexible to any method of transport your group decides to work with.

Jigcar will be exhibiting at Automotive Management Live 2024 🧩 🚗 Come say hi to myself, Jonathan Pollock and Rupert Wood 👋

One of the most rewarding parts of building a new business is getting out of the office and meeting customers where they are. In the automotive industry, I’ve found this to be especially true, as relationships are built on trust, credibility, and being easy to work with—values we’ve prioritised from day one. Balancing these customer visits with the demands of launching and growing a product can be challenging, but it’s also been an incredible learning experience. Every week, I’ve had the opportunity to visit and learn from different dealer groups, and I’m embracing every moment of it. More often than not, I’m joined by Elliott Perks and Jonathan Pollock making these trips even more memorable. Here are some behind-the-scenes snapshots from the journey so far! 👀
