Curbee has launched its software-as-a-service (SaaS) mobile service technology platform for car dealers nationwide.
This move follows a successful limited launch of the platform in January, the company said in a Friday (July 26) press release.
The company also said Friday that it has closed on additional funding, bringing its total amount of funding raised externally to $12 million.
“Our vision at Curbee is to change car care for good,” Denise Leleux, CEO of Curbee, said in the release. “The dealers who have been with us since the beginning of the year are reporting immediate success, to the extent that our investors have injected more funds, allowing us to scale to serve any dealer nationwide.”
The Curbee platform enables established dealerships to add a mobile service business to their existing operation, according to the release. It offers auto dealers an end-to-end mobile service solution that can integrate into existing dealer management software.
The white-labeled mobile service experience offered by Curbee is designed to facilitate easy access for both dealership employees and customers, the release said. It features artificial intelligence (AI)-powered scheduling, predictive maintenance analytics, personalized customer communication tools and direct access to technician training and education programs.
Curbee built the platform based on its own experience running a mobile service operation, per the release. The company did so for three years, completing 20,000 visits across 9,000 consumer vehicles and 1,100 fleet and partner vehicles.
“At Curbee, our goals are aligned with those of our customer dealers: empowering them to offer excellent customer satisfaction, maximize revenue and sustain profitability by offering a service today’s vehicle owners demand,” Leleux said in the release. “Curbee is focused on empowering dealerships to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving automotive landscape.”
Consumers and fleets alike are increasingly calling on mobile service providers that enable them to have work done on their vehicles at their location, at the time that works best for them, Wrench CEO Ed Petersen told PYMNTS in an interview posted in June 2022.
“We talk to a lot of people, and whether it’s the OEMs, the big independent repair shops or what have you, they know this is where the world is heading,” Petersen said.
