Launched in 2024 by former Cazoo colleagues Elliott Perks, Rupert Wood and Jackson Jacob, Jigcar uses AI-driven software to match and pair vehicle movements, reducing duplicated journeys and eliminating wasteful empty-mile trips.
CEO Elliott Perks said the technology has already delivered results. “We’ve seen a significant increase in the number of monthly paired vehicle movements at Thurlow Nunn,” he said, adding that many dealer groups still rely on inefficient one-way trips involving multiple drivers.
“What we’re doing is matching those movements up, so one driver completes both legs of a journey — reducing wages and public transport costs,” Perks explained.
Simon Gylls, Director of Thurlow Nunn, praised the platform for offering real-time intelligence backed by expert human support. “It’s like having an on-demand automotive logistics expert,” he said. “We’re already seeing tangible efficiencies and now have much better visibility into our logistics performance.”
