An Interview with Augusto Macedo, Director Iberia at ONLOGIST
The Author
“Hello! My name is Katharina Weyergraf. As part of the marketing team at ONLOGIST, I focus on topics related to mobility and share my insights in articles about vehicle transfers.”
Editorial: Augusto, thank you for taking the time. Let’s start with the basics: What is the AER, and why is it important?
Augusto Macedo: My pleasure! The AER is the central representative body for the leasing and vehicle renting industry in Spain. Founded in 1995, it brings together major leasing companies and over 140 partner firms that provide services such as logistics, vehicle transport, and remarketing.
In short: the AER ensures that the industry operates efficiently, complies with standards, and represents its interests to policymakers, authorities, and partners.
A little fun fact:
Editorial: ONLOGIST is now part of the AER. What does this membership mean for you specifically?
Augusto Macedo: Colaborador Asociado are partner firms that support the industry with specialized services. For us, the focus is on vehicle transport, tracking solutions, and process optimization. Through our partnership, we are directly integrated into the network of leading leasing and renting companies and can contribute our expertise exactly where it is needed.
In practical terms, this means that if a leasing company needs to redistribute, say, 200 vehicles across Spain, we can provide fast and reliable solutions thanks to our AER network membership.
Editor: What personal benefits does ONLOGIST gain from this membership?
Augusto Macedo: There are four key advantages:
Market insight: We learn early about trends, new regulations, and operational challenges.
Knowledge & best practices: Exchange with other AER partners helps us continuously improve processes and services, saving time and money – for both us and our clients.
Visibility & trust: Clients see that we operate professionally and understand industry standards, which builds confidence.
Client understanding: Close networking allows us to better understand our clients’ needs and the needs of their own customers, enabling us to respond more effectively.
Editorial team: And how do clients benefit directly?
Augusto Macedo: The benefits for clients are tangible:
Practical processes: We design transfers based on real market requirements – not theoretical procedures.
Scalability & reliability: Whether five or 500 vehicles, simple or complex routes – our processes remain consistent with the same quality standards.
Market-driven advice: Trends are directly translated into operational recommendations.
Network effects: Through our AER network, we can involve partners essential for smooth operations.
Editorial team: Are there strategic goals you aim to achieve through this membership?
Augusto Macedo: Yes, primarily market positioning. Through the AER network, ONLOGIST is visible as an industry specialist and builds trust – a clear advantage for both us and our clients.
Editor: Finally, why should clients view ONLOGIST’s AER membership as a benefit?
Augusto Macedo: Because it delivers direct value. Our market proximity, process understanding, and network within the AER ecosystem enable efficient, reliable, and practical solutions. Clients are not just working with a service provider but with a partner who understands and actively shapes the market.
Editorial team: Thank you very much for the interview, Augusto.
Augusto Macedo: Thank you! We’re delighted to share our experience, and we look forward to continuing to support our clients in Spain with the practical benefits that our AER membership brings.
