AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dealerware, the premium fleet management company focused on retail automotive, has announced a strategic partnership with Axle, an Atlanta-based insurance verification company. This collaboration introduces an integrated solution that not only streamlines insurance verification processes but also delivers substantial time and cost savings for dealerships and rental companies.

Key benefits of the integration include:

Risk Mitigation: tools to mitigate potential risks associated with inadequate or invalid customer insurance coverage.
Time Efficiency: accelerated insurance verification process, reducing the time required for dealerships and rental operations to confirm customer insurance details manually.
Cost Savings: automation allows businesses to significantly cut operational costs associated with manual verification.
Seamless Integration: seamless integration into existing workflows, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free implementation

Mark Halsell, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Dealerware explains, "This integration not only simplifies insurance verification but also contributes to operational efficiency and risk reduction, reinforcing our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for automotive dealers and rental operators.

"This saves the customer time while they're at the dealership and gives service department employees peace of mind that their vehicles are protected."

Eldric Brown, Fixed Operations Director at JLR North Atlanta added, "In the three months prior to using the solution, my service loaner department was exposed to over $20,000 in repairing damages due to customers not having either valid insurance coverage or a policy with adequate coverage. Since implementing the Axle integration, we have brought that down to $0. Dealerware continues to set the bar when it comes to providing technology integrations and an ecosystem of partners to address industry challenges."
