The mobility platform DRIVEMOTIVE, initiated by CARAT, cooperates with one of the strongest technology providers within the connected-car sector: As development partner, PACE Telematics will build the industry-wide digital platform for the independent workshop and service market. Its launch is planned for summer 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drivers\u2019 growing expectations for connected services and faster, more comfortable solutions require a better connectivity of cars. In January, the leading wholesale network CARAT<\/a> initiated a platform which aims to pool the strengths of free market participants to enable the free aftermarket to keep up with these developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The now independent project DRIVEMOTIVE<\/a> enables all free-aftermarket participants to digitalize their business processes and create lasting customer loyalty through innovative services with added value. Part of this offer for workshops are not only remote diagnostics and focused customer communication but also the sale of automotive parts. The IoT and connected-car provider PACE Telematics, seated in Karlsruhe, Germany, supplies this technology as well as support during its set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining strengths to stay competitive in the automotive market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe digitalization poses enormous challenges to most businesses within the independent workshop and service market, which most cannot overcome alone,\u201d says PACE managing director Dr. Martin Kern. \u201cThe industry-wide initiative DRIVEMOTIVE powered by PACE will help independent workshops to connect with customers in this new, data-driven market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smartcar company PACE has been expanding its products and services for B2B partners since 2017; amongst them the Dealer Dashboard for independent workshops. DRIVEMOTIVE powered by PACE is the first complete integration of PACE technology into a digital solution for the whole independent workshop and service market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New services for drivers, workshops and spare part distribution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everyone wanting to digitalize and strengthen their business can use DRIVEMOTIVE \u2013 this encompasses, amongst others, workshops, spare-part distributors, and fleet managers. Participants will profit not only from highly improved customer loyalty but also from valuable car data, which enables precise business decisions and proactive customer service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith DRIVEMOTIVE, we take a step only few have yet been ready to take: Removing isolated solutions and combining strengths,\u201d says Christian Gabler, managing director of Mecanto GmbH, provider of the DRIVEMOTIVE platform. \u201cLike this, not only the participating businesses will stay competitive in the future but also Germany as location for mobility investments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRIVEMOTIVE, just like PACE, offers drivers many connected-car features which make driving cheaper, safer and less stressful by combining OBD2 adapter and app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-18648","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nDRIVEMOTIVE connects the free aftermarket with PACE technologies | PACE Cloud<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pace.cloud\/en\/news\/drivemotive-connects-free-aftermarket-with-pace-technologies\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DRIVEMOTIVE connects the free aftermarket with PACE technologies | PACE Cloud\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The mobility platform DRIVEMOTIVE, initiated by CARAT, cooperates with one of the strongest technology providers within the connected-car sector: As development partner, PACE Telematics will build the industry-wide digital platform for the independent workshop and service market.
