Connected vehicle platform for shops, drivers, and fleets
One device. Three products. Three revenue streams.
Three Problems, One Platform
Shops lose 60% of customers after the first visit. Existing reminder systems are calendar-based - "it's been 6 months" - which feels like spam and gets ignored. No one is sending reminders based on how you actually drive.
Drivers have zero visibility into their vehicle's health. When's your next oil change due? How many miles on those brakes? Nobody knows until something breaks or a dashboard light comes on. Maintenance is reactive - "your car needs service NOW" - leaving no time to plan, budget, or shop around. And your service records? Scattered across a dozen shops, stuffed in the glovebox. You already paid for the service. Why is accessing your own history this hard?
Fleets can track location, but can't connect it to service history. When does each vehicle actually need maintenance? How do you plan downtime across a fleet? Location alone doesn't answer these questions.
The Secret: VIN-Linked Intelligence
Our OBD-II device tracks real mileage and links everything to the VIN - the universal key. Service history follows the vehicle, not the shop.
- Shops get customers back automatically. We notify drivers based on actual usage and point them to their preferred shop for scheduling.
- Drivers get proactive maintenance planning - know what's coming before it's urgent. "You have 500 miles until your next service." Plus a free app to organize your records: upload photos or documents, and our AI builds your complete history. When shops connect to our platform, records flow automatically - no work required. No glovebox. No Carfax. No surprises.
- Fleets get intelligent service planning - maintenance schedules based on actual usage, not guesswork.
Privacy-first: Consumer location data isn't stored by default (opt-in available). Fleet data is stored securely with strict access controls.
