TRACKER, is partnering with London-based Auto Capital, suppliers o commercial vehicles in the secondary market, to provide its customers with in-van connectivity solutions and automated intelligence.

SmartDealer and SmartDrive, offered by stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) and telematics technology expert TRACKER, provide forecourt management and vehicle safety for Auto Capital’s fleet operator customers, helping to boost dealer profitability and enhance loyalty with their customer base.

By accessing vehicle location, battery status and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), SmartDealer enables Auto Capital to manage inventory, shorten customer wait times for vehicle servicing and improve the customer onsite experience.

Additionally through TRACKER’s customer-facing connected vehicle app, SmartDrive, fleet manager customers can opt-in to allow Auto Capital to receive vehicle diagnostic information for proactive response to maintenance and repair issues.

This allows Auto Capital to offer bespoke and timely services and discounts to customers, thus securing post-sales revenue.

In addition to fleet efficiencies and vehicle safety, TRACKER delivers Stolen Vehicle Location Assist via the SmartDrive app to mitigate the costly impact of vehicle theft. A simple call to a UK-based trained agent can help quickly track and locate the customer’s vehicle.
