TSD, a widely used rental management system, and Zubie, a provider of telematics solutions, announced on June 20 the expansion of their strategic partnership.
Building on their collaboration in the rental management sector, the two companies will now integrate Zubie’s telematics capabilities into TSD’s dealer management system platform.
“This expansion into the TSD Dealer platform allows us to scale our reach with dealerships and further streamline fleet management capabilities,” said Zubie CEO Chad Caswell in a recent news release.
This expansion will provide an integrated telematics experience for TSD’s dealer customers, further attemping to connect every car in operation.
With this enhanced partnership, TSD’s dealer management system platform will draw from the same telematics support that TSD’s rental operators already have accessed on its TSD Rental platform.
By leveraging Zubie’s OBD telematics and Asset Trak capabilities, dealerships will be able to manage their entire fleet from a single connected platform.
Dealership operators can now seamlessly track the location and status of their courtesy vehicles and shuttles using Zubie’s telematics solution.
Zubie’s deep API integrations will facilitate real-time fuel level and odometer readings, GPS location tracking, and expedite the check-in and check-out processes.
With this advanced technology, dealerships will always be informed of their vehicle’s whereabouts and readiness for the next customer.
Furthermore, customers will have the ability to establish unlimited geofences, ensuring compliance with each dealership’s policies.
Asset Trak also provides a powerful platform for managing on-site transport vehicles, such as golf carts or buses, which improves overall operational efficiency.
“We’ve witnessed positive results on the rental side of our Zubie partnership,” said Shawn Concannon, president of TSD. ‘Introducing Zubie’s industry-leading telematics solutions into the dealership space was a logical step for us.”
With TSD and Zubie’s expanded partnership, the automotive industry can anticipate accelerated progress towards a future where every vehicle is closely connected and run at peak efficiency.
