Asbury Park, NJ — September 4, 2018 — U.S. auto dealers are continually confused by complicated third-party call center billing techniques. Paying by the minute, paying by the lead, and other traditional metrics are a poor substitute for actual sales results. Starting September 2018, FollowPro Call Centers ( www.followprocallservices.com ) will launch their “pay per performance” business model for U.S. dealers. Dealer clients are only billed for prospects that “show” at the dealership. No “per minute” or “per lead” fees, just an agreed-upon charge for customers that actually step foot on the showroom floor to talk to a salesperson. FollowPro’s parent company, Suivitel Call Centers, have successfully launched the program into more than 70 participating Canadian auto dealers, with strong results. “We have found that dealer principals and managers are overpaying for traditional BDC call center services, based on a comparison of our program vs. previous results.” says Followpro founder Daniel Forget. “We are the only call service that believes enough in our team of commissioned salespeople to put our business on the line right next to our U.S. dealer partners.” “U.S. dealers are receptive to any alternative vs. the growing cost of traditional outsourced BDC call centers,” according to Bruno Lucarelli, president of FollowPro’s exclusive U.S. sales representative, MSS Auto Sales ( www.mssauto.com ). “The current system makes it extremely difficult for auto retail stores to determine the efficacy of their call centers. Dealers will end up actually paying less with FollowPro, finally getting full accountability from their BDC call center vendor.” FollowPro’s commissioned salespeople are assigned to a designated store and stay in contact with each prospect through the conclusion of their business with the dealer. This creates valuable feedback based on customers’ comments about their experience with each store, allowing dealers to address any unknown “pain points” in their sales process. About FollowPro Automotive Call Services Founded by call center industry veteran Daniel Forget, Followpro Automotive Call Services ( www.followprocallservices.com ) are the first “pay per performance” call centers available for U.S. automotive dealers. FollowPro Automotive Call Services are represented exclusively in the U.S. by MSS Auto Sales. About Mobility Sales Solutions Founded by Bruno Lucarelli, a veteran of Autotrader, Edmunds.com, and eBay Motors, Mobility Sales Solutions is the exclusive U.S. representative of FollowPro Call Services and the Vin-UP™ Service Vehicle Acquisition Program.

Hayward, CA — June 13, 2018 — Preparing for increased demand in its retail reconditioning business while anticipating growth in the vehicle mobility space, Manheim opened its 19th retail recon site on June 13 at Manheim San Francisco Bay. The company invested approximately $500,000 in the 20,000 square-foot facility to provide mechanical and reconditioning services to dealers, commercial consignors and new vehicle mobility providers in the evolving automotive sector. The half-million dollar investment is a part of the $1.5 million investment Manheim has made in its San Francisco Bay location. The Center has seven vehicle lifts and a team of highly-trained technicians who can perform minor and major component repairs on about 100 vehicles per week “We are uniquely positioned to offer end-to-end solutions to independent and franchise dealers, fleet operators, ride-sharing companies and manufacturers,” said Greg Beck, general manager, Manheim San Francisco Bay. “Our proximity to Silicon Valley, home to many of tomorrow’s vehicle mobility providers, is just one more way we are poised to deliver tremendous value and meet client and industry needs.” Manheim’s retail reconditioning offerings provide everything needed to prepare vehicles for sale, including a 140-point inspection, mechanical and body reconditioning, paint, detail, merchandising, imaging, and more. By outsourcing such services to a single point of contact at one location, clients can focus on customers, fulfill retail demand faster, and save time and money. Further, this alternative to in-house recon frees up a dealer’s own service bays for paying customers and gets retail-ready vehicles to their lot quickly — typically within four to 10 days, depending on client specifications and vehicle condition. “The conveniences and flexibility generated by Manheim’s Retail Reconditioning solution help dealers improve efficiency, speed, capacity and margins,” said Beck. “It can even help reduce costs, by avoiding vehicle transport to/from multiple locations and enhance the unit’s value.” Retail reconditioning is a natural extension of Manheim’s solutions, leveraging its large-scale operations, expertise and high-quality workmanship. The company started to participate in the $24B retail reconditioning industry in 2015 and now operates 19 locations, serving a range of clients from dealers to manufacturers and new vehicle mobility players. It has invested more than $17M to build new Retail Reconditioning facilities across the nation, enhance existing ones and develop proprietary technology. Last year alone, Manheim produced over 30,000 retail-ready vehicles. Manheim’s newest Retail Reconditioning Center, located on more than three acres at 1525 Crocker Avenue in Hayward, is an extension of Manheim San Francisco Bay, a 72-acre wholesale auction established in 1987. It is one of the company’s six operating locations in California and features 12 lanes to sell approximately 2,500 vehicles per week. Supporting its community, Manheim San Francisco Bay is a 23-year member of the Hayward Chamber of Commerce and contributes to Hayward Animal Shelter, Hayward Police Department memorial funds and local food banks, as well as American Red Cross, Drivers for Survivors, Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America and Ronald McDonald House Charities. The organization has achieved a platinum ranking in the Cox Conserves Zero Waste to Landfill program by diverting 80% to 89% of its waste from landfills. About Manheim Manheim ® is North America's leading provider of end-to-end wholesale solutions that help dealer and commercial clients increase profits in their used vehicle operations.

Foster City, CA — January 10, 2018 — Reviver Auto , creator of the RPlate ™ , the world’s first digital license plate, has closed an $11.1 million funding round led by Australian-based ACK Group, with participation from WRV and a number of strategic individual investors. The rapidly growing company, which recently relocated from San Francisco to an approximately 11,000 square foot facility in Foster City, California, also announced two additions to its Board of Directors: Ken Denman, former CEO of Emotient, which was acquired by Apple, who also serves on the boards of Costco, Motorola and LendingClub; and Stephen Polk, CEO of Highgate, LLC, current Chairman of The Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce, and former Chairman of R.L. Polk and Carfax, will reinforce the level of expertise and prepare the company for the next step. Reviver Auto’s RPlate Pro, which officially launches at the Detroit Auto Show next week, transforms the 125-year-old stamped metal vehicle license plate into a modern, aesthetically designed, multi-functional digital display and connected car platform which will deliver multiple efficiencies to businesses, state agencies and consumers, including a first-ever digitally-automated vehicle registration platform. The investment further accelerates the development of the Reviver Auto platform and its patented technology, including RConnect, the platform that manages the RPlate’s functionality. It also fuels the company’s work with state DMVs and legislatures as the RPlate expands its national footprint. In addition to California and Arizona, legislation authorizing pilot programs for the RPlate has been passed in Texas and Florida. “We are on a mission to change the future of automotive ownership and everyday driving by transforming communications between vehicle owners, drivers and the world around them,” said Neville Boston, CEO of Reviver Auto. “This investment helps accelerate the fulfillment of that mission, further boosting the development of strategic partnerships that will broaden the RPlate’s range of functionalities — all designed to make life easier for businesses and consumers.” State DOTs, DMVs, OEMs, fleet management companies, and auto dealers, among others, are looking to the RPlate for a myriad of solutions, including streamlined vehicle registration, new opportunities for personalized license plate designs, targeted marketing messaging, emergency alert broadcasting, vehicle tracking and, as electric vehicles popularity takes hold, a unique solution to the growing road usage tax tracking issues faced by states. “The RPlate has the potential to change the way we think of vehicle ownership — starting first with digital vehicle registration — which is a tremendously inefficient process,” said Stephen Polk, Reviver Auto board member. “The capabilities of the RPlate are unlimited — think automated and digital parking permits, toll payments, personalized messaging, and, of course, vehicle specific data and driving behavior analytics for commercial businesses that can be utilized to track vehicles, mileage, etc.” Ernst Leib, current Reviver Auto board member and former CEO and President of Mercedes Benz USA, Canada, and Australia, also invested in the round and said: “It’s exciting to see the reaction the RPlate elicits from everyone who sees it — this is truly a game-changing technology for the automotive industry and I’m thrilled to be a part of the Reviver Auto team as it builds up production capabilities and begins shipping the first of the thousands of digital license plates it will deliver to customers throughout California in 2018.” Reviver Auto’s RPlate Pro can be seen in booth #MS06 at The Detroit Auto Show’s Automobili-D showcase; the company will hold a press conference on Tuesday, Jan 16 at 3:05 p.m. on the Atrium Stage at the Detroit Cobo Center. About Reviver Auto Reviver Auto’s mission is to bring new and far-reaching efficiencies, revolutionary marketing, and unprecedented connectivity to the auto industry through disruptive technology. With its RPlate ™ , the company has completely reinvented the 125-year-old stamped metal license plate into a connected car platform that digitizes and automates the costly, often frustrating and time-consuming DMV renewal process. Approved by multiple DMVs and DOTs, the RPlate also provides telematics functionality and brings a new level of personalization to existing license plates.
