In recent years, we’ve witnessed leaps in technology within the vehicle shipping industry. For Canadian customers looking to move their vehicle across the country or between provinces, innovations in the way vehicles are transported are making the process more reliable, transparent, and efficient than ever before. From artificial intelligence to advanced GPS tracking, here’s a look at some of the key technologies revolutionizing vehicle shipping—and how companies like Hansen’s are leading the way.
Artificial intelligence is playing a major role in modernizing vehicle logistics. AI algorithms now analyze traffic patterns, weather conditions, road closures, and delivery deadlines to plan the most efficient routes. This ensures quicker deliveries, reduces fuel consumption, and ultimately saves customers time and money. For vehicle shipping companies, AI helps streamline operations, better allocate resources, and respond quickly to unexpected delays on the road.
With recent advances in technology, there is now a demand from customers for more visibility throughout the shipping process. That’s why online booking systems and real-time tracking tools are quickly becoming industry standards. These platforms allow customers to get quotes instantly, schedule pickups, and monitor their vehicle’s journey from start to finish.
At Hansen’s, state-of-the-art hardware and software systems efficiently process data from quotes and order entry to vehicle tracking. This technology ensures a smoother and faster experience for customers, reducing the chance of errors and allowing for more accurate updates.
All of Hansen’s trucks are GPS-equipped, allowing the company to optimize routes, reduce idle time, and enhance delivery accuracy. For customers, this means fewer delays and the ability to stay informed about where their vehicle is at any given moment. For corporate clients, this also offers a high level of accountability and performance tracking.
To further enhance efficiency, drivers at Hansen’s use wireless handheld computers to report shipment events in real time. This level of immediate communication helps ensure on-time delivery, allows for quick updates to customers, and provides valuable data for performance monitoring. It also means that any issues along the way—such as weather disruptions or unexpected traffic—can be communicated instantly and resolved quickly.
For fleet managers and corporate clients, Hansen’s offers electronic data interfaces that automate the reporting of shipment events. This streamlined communication allows businesses to integrate shipping data directly into their systems, improving tracking, forecasting, and overall supply chain visibility.
