As with any international importer, logistics could not play a bigger role in the automotive part of our business. From the control of air and sea freight operations importing vehicles and parts from around the globe, to the storage and distribution of goods around the UK and Europe, every aspect of logistics is designed to be as fast and as efficient as possible.

IT has played a huge part in helping us streamline our logistic operations. Bespoke systems will help us communicate with customs when importing into Europe; they will track shipments at any point ensuring that we can identify the location of any part or vehicle at any time, and know exactly when a delivery will arrive at its destination. Integrated IT systems ensure that financial transactions, linked to logistics activities, are processed quickly and effectively.

I.M. Group owns and operates import and storage facilities at our extensive site in Sheerness in the UK. This is a huge advantage when receiving shipments of vehicles since distribution to our dealer network is handled by our own personnel, rather than an intermediary, and this maintains the speed and efficiency that our network has come to expect from dealing with us as a Group.
