Ebbon-Dacs launches standalone delivery and collection solution

Oxford-based online solutions provider Ebbon-Dacs has launched moDel VM, a new, standalone version of its moDel vehicle delivery and collection solution.The moDel solution, which is a joint venture between Ebbon-Dacs and motor accessories supplier, VGroup International, enables firms to completely automate the new vehicle delivery and used vehicle collection process.

The solution is designed to allow Leaselink users to automatically upload all electronic vehicle delivery and collection information directly into the Leaselink platform, thus cutting time, errors and needless administration, and speeding up the time to market.

Now, following the launch of the new model VM solution, the same level of functionality is available to companies which are responsible for large movements of vehicles, but which are not necessarily members of the Leaselink trading community, such as logistics companies, daily rental suppliers and auction houses.

The latest-generation moDel VM offers the latest functionality and features, including improved photographic capabilities to more accurately record and assess the condition of collected vehicles, along with more detailed, but easier to use, damage reporting which can be relayed instantly to end users.

The damage reporting functionality has been extended, using a ‘dynamic flat car’ schematic to allow specific areas of the car to be captured in more detail, including individual items of the vehicle’s specification.

This vehicle condition information can then be uploaded instantaneously to users’ websites, allowing used car traders to bid for the vehicle in an electronic environment, helping cut down the remarketing period to as short a time as possible.

The moDel VM solution works perfectly on tablet computers which use the Android 4.0 operating system or newer, while an inbuilt compatibility app allows users to check whether their device is fit for purpose.

moDel product manager Michael Terry said: “We are delighted with the success to date of our moDel solution, but customer feedback showed us there was a demand from amongst companies that were not members of the Leaselink community.

“The launch of our new moDel VM solution meets that demand and allows non-Leaselink users to benefit fully from the functionality that the new generation system offers.”
