AUSTIN, Texas — October 13, 2020 – Dealerware, the leading connected car platform, has announced a partnership with mobility and logistics provider RedCap Technologies LLC, a subsidiary of Solera Holdings, Inc., that enables a single-screen solution for automotive retailers’ pickup and delivery and loaner management services.

The integration will include Dealerware’s automated cost recovery, increased efficiency and seamless loaner management feature set within the RedCap driver application. By combining two best-in-breed products, customers, drivers, and dealers will all benefit from real-time visibility, SMS-based communication and receipts, customized agreements, and a truly differentiated user-first experience.
