On May 1st 2013, the sun was shining as EuLoS took delivery of two brand new trucks for its UK fleet. The additional trucks will be utilised on the new business recently awarded to EuLoS.eu ltd, delivering new vehicles to the dealer Network in the South West of England.

We are based in the Northampton shire area of the UK and we also have offices in Vilnius, Lithuania which as we know is the Geographical centre of Europe. As a company EuLoS.eu has considerable experience working in these markets as well across into Western Europe.

After 3 very successful years of  providing logistic Solutions to The Royal Dutch Touring Club (ANWB) in The Hague. ANWB have awarded EuLoS.eu Ltd a further 5 year contract to offer Logistical services in certain Geographic area’s.

The Royal Dutch Touring Club (ANWB) founded in 1883 offers its 3.9 million members a wide range of services related to roadside assistance and medical and repatriation assistance abroad.  EuLoS.eu Ltd have been providing ANWB with Repatriation Assistance from all parts of Europe with particular focus on Spain & France.  During the 3 years, EuLoS have continued investing in its ANWB support fleet which can consist of  up to Twenty Five 9 car capacity car transporters in the peak periods, installing electric winches & caravan dolly’s to aid the safe loading of stranded vehicles. These transporters are managed by a multi lingual team based in Barcelona and Vilnius allowing for direct discussions with the recovery centres in Spain & France.

Following this latest award, EuLoS.eu will continue its investment, by improving Vehicle inspections & Electronic Proof of Delivery process.

Vehicle inspection solution

EuLoS.eu will run the system on Motorola ES400 PDAs and use it initially for automating its Spanish and UK operations. In both cases, the system directs the drivers through the inspections systematically and records each step using simple electronic forms instead of handwriting damage codes onto diagrams and completing lengthy paper inspection documents.

In France & Spain, EuLoS.eu operates a vehicle repatriation service for stranded vehicles on behalf of ANWB. EuLoS.eu collects the vehicle and delivers it back to Holland. This can involve complex document management as the vehicle will contain luggage and personal belongings that need cataloguing and it opens up opportunities for fraudulent insurance claims. However, using the PDA the EuLoS.eu driver is able to photograph the state of the vehicle at the point of collection, complete a thorough inspection, note specific and extent of damage, and create a full inventory of all items in the car. This information is then available instantly to ANWB, which it uses to update its own system so that their member can track the car at any point en route back to Holland.

“Our job is to repatriate ANWB members’ cars back to Holland, the system is going to help us improve the efficiency of the collections and deliveries, while providing a comprehensive and traceable audit trail.  The moment we complete the inspection and record the contents of the vehicle, we send the information to ANWB. This makes the process visible and helps with managing insurance claims,” says Chris Martins.

International automotive logistics company EuLoS.eu is investing in an electronic proof of delivery system from OBS Logistics. The automotive logistics company will use CALIDUS ePOD to automate its current paper-based, manual pre- and post-delivery inspection recording and provide real-time traceability. 

The CALIDUS ePOD system from OBS Logistics will provide a fully computerised audit trail for each vehicle from point of collection to final delivery with the customer.

“I’ve been in the automotive logistics business for more than 20 years and have seen other companies adopt various systems. I now believe it is the right time for EuLoS.eu to invest in this technology too as it will help us become more efficient for our clients and it will assist business expansion. I was aware of the capabilities of other PDA-based systems, but OBS Logistics showed great interest in what we do and was very enthusiastic in helping to develop CALIDUS ePOD meet our needs. It is a very robust system and the company provides very good support,” says Chris Martins, EuLoS.eu Managing Director.

Vehicle defects will be photographed and shortages noted using the PDA and stored with the electronic inspection and delivery forms by the system. All paperwork that the customer requires is also tagged and traceable against the electronic records. The system will provide a robust, comprehensive and auditable file for each car making it easier to contest insurance claims for vehicle defects.

EuLoS.eu will run the system on Motorola ES400 PDAs, using it initially for automating its Europe-wide vehicle repatriation and new and hire car collection operations in the UK. The system directs the drivers through the inspections systematically while recording each step using simple electronic forms instead of handwriting defect codes onto diagrams and completing lengthy paper inspection documents.

“Managing paperwork is time consuming and can be frustrating. For example, we may have a truck travelling from Slovenia to Moscow and to get all the paperwork back from the trip could take a week or more.  We want to be able to improve on this with an electronic system that provides proof of delivery and computerised documentation that we can deliver to our customers instantly. Such technology improves efficiency and enables greater response and this is particularly important when dealing with insurance claims as vehicle inspection information and photographs can be sent directly from the point of collection,” says Chris Martins.
