Spireon, a provider of mobile resource management and business intelligence solutions for independent stores and buy-here, pay-here operators, has teamed with the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association as its newest Diamond-level National Corporate Partner.

The news came through an announcement from NIADA on Tuesday.

“Spireon has always been a big supporter of dealer business growth through the use of technology systems,” Spireon director of product marketing Kristy Demarco said. “We will continue to work with NIADA to advocate for the continued use of GPS devices and solutions in cars and provide members with special tools and programs for their business.”

Spireon is best known for its Goldstar GPS collateral management system, designed to help dealers and finance companies mitigate portfolio risk and protect their assets.

NIADA members will be the first to know about new Spireon GPS solutions and special promotions, and will receive information on how to stay in compliance with laws and regulations.

Spireon has been an innovator with features like automated reference checks and location predictors, and with Kahu, a stolen vehicle recovery app available for dealers to market to vehicle buyers.

“The partnership speaks to Spireon's position as an industry leader in connected vehicles, in addition to its full commitment to NIADA’s mission in helping members grow their businesses, protect their assets and enhance profitability," NIADA senior vice president of member services Scott Lilja said. “NIADA members will now benefit from Spireon’s growing suite of product offerings.”
