Fleetmatics® and Meineke Team Up to Deliver Unique Maintenance Value to Local Fleets

DUBLIN and BOSTON, March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetmatics Group PLC (NYSE: FLTX), a leading global provider of mobile workforce solutions for service-based businesses of all sizes delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS), today announced a promotion with Meineke, a leader in automotive service, maintenance and repair for consumers and fleet operators. The new program will leverage Fleetmatics' Service Alert feature - a maintenance reminder - to present a local Meineke offer to nearby Fleetmatics customers.

"For more than 40 years, Meineke has been committed to keeping every vehicle safe. Our partnership with Fleetmatics extends our commitment to the security of all vehicles beyond personal and leisure, into those who depend on their vehicles for business," said Danny Rivera, President of Meineke Car Care Centers. "By partnering with a like-minded and innovative company like Fleetmatics, we're able to ensure today's business driver has access to convenient, affordable vehicle care and repair when they need it most. With regular reminders and easy online scheduling, Meineke and Fleetmatics ensure business drivers are able to address vehicle care issues efficiently and get back on the road safely and quickly."

The Fleetmatics SaaS platform keeps track of mileage and maintenance schedules of each service vehicle that is tracked by customers who use the solution. When service is due on a vehicle the SaaS platform generates a service alert that is delivered to the fleet manager within the Fleetmatics solution, or by email. Alerts will trigger a Meineke offer for a free service that can be redeemed at the local Meineke shop.

Regular vehicle maintenance helps reduce the total cost of ownership over the life span of any car or truck.  This is an important consideration for fleets that need to keep their vehicles running in optimum operating condition for both their employees' safety and delivering reliable services to their customers.

The new program will be initially introduced in a three state area – Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. It will be offered specifically to Fleetmatics' customers that operate 25 vehicles or less and are located within 10 miles of a Meineke shop.

"We look forward to leveraging the synergies between Fleetmatics and Meineke franchises in delivering new solutions to small businesses. By building relationships with each other's customers at the point of use, we serve mutual customers with a timely, relevant and locally redeemable offer," said Kathleen Finato, Chief Marketing Officer for Fleetmatics. "In conjunction with the alerts in our SaaS platform, Meineke will display counter cards promoting Fleetmatics' free demonstration of our fleet management solution."
