If the series of developments is an indication of its 2024 to-do list, DriveItAway Holdings is making the kind of steady progress that reinforce social media memes about business productivity.
The latest move came last week when the company that offers “micro-lease to purchase” technology announced that it has partnered with Corporate Claims Management to directly manage all vehicle services, including maintenance, mechanical repairs and body shop repairs
DriveItAway said this relationship allows it to scale its company-owned fleet rapidly.
It’s the fourth major move by DriveItAway so far this year.
In May, the company announced the closing of a $2 million credit line funding from Auto Leasing II, led by a noted national leader in the vehicle rental industry.
During the Auto Intel Summit + National Remarketing Conference in April, DriveItAway announced the offering of its retail app, software platform and lead base to all interested dealers, combined with fleet credit line financing offered by Westlake Fleet, part of Westlake Financial.
And in February, DriveItAway finalized a partnership announcement with Partners Personnel to enable all employees to drive and then buy the vehicle of his/her choice regardless cash down or credit score.
DriveItAway founder and CEO John Possumato reiterated why the company is making all these moves.
“Our mission, through our technology, is to enable everyone to drive and then buy a new car, especially those now finding themselves “shut out” from immediately buying a vehicle as interest rates and vehicle prices remain high, and credit is tightening,” Possumato said in a news release.
“So as our company owned fleet is growing rapidly to accomplish our mission, we see it best to leave fleet maintenance, repair, and accident management to the professionals in the business wells suited to handle large fleets, so we can better serve our drivers, and allow us to continue to scale our fleet nationally,” he contained.
Corporate Claims Management started its operations in June 1994 as a collision management specialty company servicing corporate fleet operators. Due to increasing client demands, CCM evolved into a complete fleet management service provider, also offering remarketing, glass repair and replacement, temporary rental vehicles, maintenance management and vehicle transports and relocations.
“Corporate Claims Management, for over three decades has provided the best-outsourced fleet management programs with a comprehensive package from total fleet management services to client specific services, and we are very excited to work with Robert Martines and his team to allow us to put more cars on the road more quickly and efficiently,” Possumato said.
“Our high growth trajectory is clear and requires we leave this customer service piece to an organization used to dealing with service needs of fleets that number in the thousands,” Possumato added.
Martines is founder and CEO of Corporate Claims Management.
“John and the DriveItAway team have done an outstanding job in taking the company from concept to implementation to rapid growth focused on their core expertise, and we at Corporate Claims Management are very pleased to help them scale rapidly doing what we have been doing best for over 31 years, third0party fleet management,” Martines said.
“We pride ourselves in providing the best, most comprehensive outsourced fleet maintenance; repair and body shop service management, subrogation recovery, mechanical/maintenance and vehicle remarketing in the business for fleet owners and drivers and know how to handle all of the needs of national fleets, large or small,” Martines went on to say.
