Fleetio acquired Auto Integrate, a maintenance authorization platform to serve fleet operators of all sizes across North America. The combined entity will service over 8 million vehicles and process more than 13 million repair orders per year through its network of 110,000-plus repair shops across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
"This acquisition is transformative for our ability to equip customers with the simplest and most efficient solution for fleet maintenance and management," says Jon Meachin, CEO of Fleetio. "By bringing together Fleetio's comprehensive fleet optimization capabilities with Auto Integrate's specialized maintenance authorization network, we're creating a truly customer-focused, end-to-end solution that addresses the most critical pain points fleet operators face today.”
Key takeaways:
- Auto Integrate's software enables repair shops to electronically submit repair orders for approval, dramatically reducing vehicle downtime and improving operational efficiency. This capability will fully integrate with Fleetio's comprehensive platform, creating a seamless experience for businesses managing complex maintenance operations.
- Fleetio is committed to further enhance Auto Integrate's platform and integrate its functionality within the Fleetio ecosystem. These investments will directly benefit existing Fleetio and Auto Integrate customers, including fleet management companies, rental car operators, repair shops, and other vendors, while expanding capabilities for Fleetio's growing customer base.
“From Day 1, our focus has been on one simple question: how can we create the most value for our customers?” says Fleetio founder and board chair, Tony Summerville. “Bringing Fleetio and Auto Integrate together is a game-changer for both fleets and repair shops, ensuring a seamless, more connected maintenance experience. Whether a shop does a little or a lot of fleet business, this combination eliminates friction and makes it easier than ever for shops to work with more fleets.”
"Our customers have consistently asked for a more integrated approach to maintenance management," says Terry Bartlett, CEO of Auto Integrate, who will join Fleetio's executive leadership team. "By joining forces with Fleetio, we're able to deliver exactly what they need – a unified platform that eliminates communication barriers between fleet operators and repair facilities, and ultimately keeps vehicles on the road longer at lower costs."
