Transforming logistical stress into strategic advantage through ALCS digital integration
In the dynamic world of automotive logistics, Fracht's Automotive Logistics Control System (ALCS) is set to make a significant stride in October 2025. The cloud-based platform, designed to create seamless integration and eliminate friction from outbound logistics, will extend its services beyond tier-one and OEM supply, reaching a wider dealer market across Europe.
At its core, ALCS serves as a universal transport management system, connecting OEMs, dealers, carriers, and end customers on one platform. This unified approach aims to address the challenges posed by rising fuel, labor, and infrastructure costs, as cost savings and efficiency efforts become increasingly crucial across the industry.
With over 1 million user sessions annually, ALCS has proven its effectiveness. It is connected to over 100 GPS providers across 21 languages, ensuring global coverage and communication. The platform's expansive network includes more than 2,000 companies, representing 18,000 trucks and 23,000 drivers.
Renatas Šlenderis, CEO and founder of Fracht, brings over a decade of expertise in finished vehicle logistics and supply chain management to the table. Under his leadership, ALCS was designed to eliminate inefficiencies at every level of the outbound supply chain.
ALCS optimizes capacity across thousands of trucks, pairing vehicle flows to cut backhauls and address the challenge of empty miles. This strategy not only reduces costs but also contributes to environmental sustainability by minimizing emissions.
Transparency is another key aspect of ALCS. It offers shared data for OEMs, dealers, carriers, and end customers, ensuring all stakeholders are on the same page. The platform also provides automotive industry-standard features such as marketplace integration with dealer sales systems and automated route planning and dispatch to reduce manual workload.
One of the standout features of ALCS is its same-day pickup service, offered as standard for dealers and OEMs. This commitment to speed and efficiency is a testament to Fracht's dedication to delivering a seamless logistics experience.
To date, Fracht has transported over 1 million vehicles through ALCS. However, specific information about which companies are connected to the ALCS network for freight in 2025 or detailing the services the platform offers to these companies is not readily available.
The automotive industry is under pressure to meet rising expectations for sustainability and customer satisfaction. As such, platforms like ALCS, with their focus on optimizing capacity and reducing emissions, are poised to play a crucial role in the industry's future.
