Reynolds adds fleet management software firm; Mavsign acquired
Dealership software provider Reynolds and Reynolds announced it has acquired TSD Mobility Solutions, a provider of fleet management software and services.
TSD designs and develops fleet mobility solutions for dealerships, manufacturers, public automotive groups and rental car companies. It operates in 92 countries on six continents, with more than 16,000 dealerships and 3,000 car rental companies as clients.
TSD is designed to provide fleet management options for loaner or rental cars, shuttles, subscriptions, test drives and pickup and delivery services.
“The company’s values align with ours,” Reynolds senior vice president of strategy and corporate development Kasi Edwards said in a news release. “Their approach to creating high-quality software synergizes with ours, and our shared focus on customer service makes this a perfect fit.”
In a news release, Reynolds said Boston-based TSD will continue to operate independently, with Shawn Concannon, TSD’s president since January 2022, remaining in that role.
“This is an amazing time to be partnered with TSD,” Concannon said. “Joining Reynolds opens so many possibilities to streamline workflows across the industries we serve, further increasing efficiencies and reducing risk for our customers.”
Edwards said the importance of fleet management continues to grow with convenience and customer experience emerging as a focus for dealers and OEMs.
“TSD is the leader in that space and the rental car space,” she said, “and we couldn’t be more excited about the future of TSD with Reynolds.”
