Vehlo has acquired shop management platform Shop-Ware, according to a press release.
Created in 2013 by Shop-Ware CEO Carolyn Coquillette, the software provides a customer communication interface with access to digital media, live chat, online approvals, and payments. Its Parts GP Optimizer utilizes advanced machine-learning techniques to improve individual parts sales.
Vehlo CEO Michelle Fischer noted that the company was impressed with Shop-Ware and believes it will be a valuable addition to its lineup of shop management solutions.
Coquillette will continue to work within Vehlo's aftermarket leadership team to lead Shop-Ware.
“This alliance allows us to harness the sought-after partner synergies underlying
this industry to foster the long-overdue digital transformation,” said Coquillette. “Via this acquisition, Vehlo will scale its influence and market share, and we are thrilled to work together across the portfolio of outstanding companies and people to accelerate our cumulative growth even further.”
