Connected-car platform and telematics data insights provider Zubie has started a new partnership to integrate its telematics data within the HQ Rental Software platform.

With the integration, rental fleet operators gain access to connected car insights along with real-time fleet and inventory management tools. The companies say that provides the ability to improve business operations.

Zubie launched its Rental Connect product in 2019. Since then, the company has placed a top priority on building a network of auto rental software integration partners.

To do that, Zubie has aligned with rental car software companies such as TSD, Bluebird, and Karz. Zubie has also started partnerships with vehicle recovery company Collateral Consultants and dealer loaner software provider AutoMap.

HQ Rental Software customers will now have access to Zubie’s rental and loaner fleet management features. That could help those customers protect their assets and improve their business. Those features include fleet monitoring, location, and recovery capabilities, in addition to features that can help improve check-in, lot management, and real-time fuel and odometer capture.

Adding HQ Rental Software to what Zubie chief executive officer Gary Tucker describes as “the industry’s most extensive integration partner network” highlights Zubie’s strategy of providing telematics data to fleet managers along with their inventory data, Tucker said.

“Now, more than ever, we need to help our rental fleet managers increase their ability to optimize operations and prepare for the economic recovery,” Tucker said in a news release.
