On-Demand Car Care Company Launches Fleet Management as a Service
Fleet management as a service allows rental car fleets, automotive auctions, midsize fleets, and carsharing services to manage their vehicle in-fleeting, preventative maintenance, and de-fleeting with digital-enabled fleet services.

Fleet managers utilize a fleet-friendly Spiffy app to schedule, track, rate, and pay for vehicle services including pre-delivery inspections, reconditioning (wash/detail), preventive maintenance (oil change, tire rotation) and de-fleeting (de-fueling, label removal), along with a comprehensive set of other services.
