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.

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.
