Jigcar is rethinking automotive operations using AI — helping automotive businesses turn transport cost into profit and building the leading platform for operational efficiency and return on assets in the $2tn automotive industry. Dealers, OEMs, and 3PLs run huge logistics operations using spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and legacy tools. We’re fixing that. Starting with transport, Jigcar is becoming the operating system for automotive operations and logistics: route planning, optimisation, driver apps, marketplace integrations, and intelligence — all powered by real-world usage. Founded by ex-Cazoo engineers/operators and automotive veterans (including leaders with experience from McLaren, Aston Martin, Nissan, and major dealer groups), Jigcar already powers operations for some of the UK’s largest retailers. We’re backed by leading investors (Concept Ventures, Triple Point, and leading automotive angels from companies like Carwow and Bumper) and are scaling quickly in 2025 to build the most product-driven, AI-first technology company in automotive. At Jigcar, we empower great people with real ownership, think big while executing pragmatically, and obsess over delivering customer value. We care deeply about outcomes over ego and look for people who share that mindset.
