Vienna, September 3, 2024 – Anyline, a global leader in AI-powered mobile data capture and insights, today announced a partnership with Fleetback, a digital ecosystem solutions provider for car dealers. Fleetback has integrated Anyline mobile scanning into its after-sales solution. Thanks to this, their clients will be able to accurately collect tire sidewall and tire tread information. Mechanics and service providers using Fleetback can now add smartphone-based tire inspections to their current workflow, ultimately increasing their ability to detect and convert additional tire-related services, and to sell more replacement tires. Anyline’s technology leverages the tools dealerships already have in place – standard mobile phones and tablets – avoiding large investments in static drive-over tread scanning hardware.
“The more you know about your customers’ tires, the more accurately you can predict when they need to replace them,” says Lukas Kinigadner, CEO and founder at Anyline. “We are very excited to partner with Fleetback to provide AI-enabled mobile data capture solutions to their automotive dealers to give them more insight into their customers’ tires and the ability to better service them when their cars are in the shop, and to predict when they need to come back in for tire replacements.”
“Transparency and trust are critical when customers take a vehicle in for service,” says Fabian Motte, CEO at Fleetback. “Bidirectional communication with unbiased information between the technician and customer helps establish that trust and leads to more cross-sell and upsell opportunities. Scanning and sharing tire tread information with customers helps them make confident decisions on when to replace worn tires and ensures they will continue to come back to your service bay for future repairs.”
Collecting tire sidewall and tread depth information for incoming vehicles being serviced can be time-consuming and manual entry can result in inaccurate data collection. Now, dealerships using Fleetback can digitally capture and store information like a vehicle’s tire size, make, model, TIN/DOT numbers and tread depth data. In the future, the customer could also collect this information in self-service check-in processes on their mobile devices.
Fleetback integrated Anyline mobile data capture for tire sidewall and tread depth measurement to its after-sales solution and plan to add license plate and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) scanning to other solutions in the coming months to streamline sales and parking solutions.
