What SYCN Auto Logistics does

SYCN Auto Logistics, operating under the brand ShipYourCarNow, is a privately held B2B vehicle transportation company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida with coast-to-coast US operations. The firm serves four primary B2B segments — auto dealers, vehicle auctions, fleet managers, and remarketing companies — moving passenger vehicles and heavy equipment via an extensive network of vetted carriers operating 1–9 car haulers. Named enterprise customers include Midway Group, GetAround, and United Fleet Management, and the firm holds NAAA Gold Standard certification and BBB Accredited Business status.

The company's core technology is an API-first vehicle transportation management platform that integrates directly into customer websites and business systems. Functional components include an API supporting inoperable vehicle flags (with $50–$100 surcharges), Google Maps-based distance calculation, per-order special instructions, configurable driver verification levels, GPS tracking (covering approximately 25% of orders), digital Bill of Lading delivery, and pre/post-move vehicle condition imaging. The platform exposes a Customer Portal for shipment management and a secure Carrier Portal (haulforsycn.rmissecure.com) for vetted carriers, with carrier capacity sourced from an internal network plus five external platforms including Central Dispatch. SYCN publicly reports a 97% guaranteed pickup (GPU) SLA compliance rate, with any non-conforming orders repriced to the level of performance actually achieved.

The business model is purely transaction-based, with revenue generated per shipment priced by mileage (Google Maps), vehicle condition, and service tier (expedited, enclosed, or custom solutions). Go-to-market combines an enterprise field-sales motion targeting dealers, auctions, fleet managers, and remarketers with API-first onboarding, inside sales handling inbound quote requests, and demo-driven acquisition supported by customer testimonials, case studies, and NAAA/BBB trust signals. The firm employs 74 people, with an executive team carrying over 100 years of combined vehicle-shipping experience. The company has not raised institutional funding, has no parent or subsidiary structure, and operates as a bootstrapped, privately held entity.
