How to request a movement

Requesting a vehicle movement through Jigcar

B
Written by Bianca Monteiro

Requesting a movement is how you tell Jigcar that a vehicle needs to go from one location to another. Whether it's a customer delivery, an inter-site transfer, or a vehicle heading to auction - it all starts here.

Step 1: Go to the All Vehicles tab from the main navigation.

Step 2: Click the + Movement button.

Step 3: Select Request Movement.

Step 4: Complete all of the required fields in the request form, or if you received the request in an email, you can use the autofill option to auto-populate the fields.

At the bottom of the form, you have two optional actions:

  • Attach document - upload any supporting files

  • + Add return movement - if you also need a vehicle brought back, this creates a linked return trip in one go

Step 5: If your organisation doesn't use a central planning pool, Jigcar Intelligence will automatically suggest the most suitable transport options at this stage. Select the option that works best for you.

Step 6: Confirm and send!

Your request will now be visible in the Movements tab with the status of Requested.

What happens next depends on your organisation's setup:

  • Central planning pool – your planning team will pick it up and assign it

  • Direct routing – your transport provider or driver will be notified straight away
