DETROIT–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UVeye inspection technology has been integrated with the Fortellis Automotive Commerce Exchange™ platform used by more than 15,000 dealerships in the United States.
High-speed UVeye vehicle-inspection systems now can help write repair orders and speed customer service for car dealers equipped with CDK Drive’s dealer manager system (DMS) from CDK Global, a leading automotive retail technology company.
The UVeye application available in Fortellis Marketplace allows dealers to automatically create repair orders based on high-speed scans of vehicle tires, underbody components and exteriors.
“The integration of automated vehicle-inspection data on the Fortellis platform will help dealers save time, increase profits and improve customer satisfaction,” said Amir Hever, UVeye founder and CEO.
He added that UVeye plans to make its service department technology available to other new- and used-car dealers through several other major automotive retail-management systems this year.
UVeye has facilities in North America, Europe and the Asia Pacific region, including offices in Israel, Japan, Germany and the United States. The company has raised more than $90 million since it was founded in 2016.
Volvo Cars, Hyundai Motors, Toyota Tsusho, W.R. Berkley Corporation, F.I.T. Ventures and CarMax, the largest used-car retailer in the U.S., are all members of the company’s investor group. It also has strategic partnerships with numerous dealership groups, used-car auctions and vehicle fleets.
