The latest move in this summer’s notable development push by Yotta Automated Software Solutions (YASSI) is a physical location in the Windy City.

This week, the enterprise vehicle intelligence platform opened its technology innovation center in Chicago, extending the company’s investment in the infrastructure and people behind its growing national platform.

Located at Two Prudential Plaza in Chicago’s East Loop, YASSI highlighted the new center will serve as a key engineering and product hub as the company accelerates development of next-generation intelligence capabilities for its customers, which include dealerships, lenders, insurers, fleet operators, auctions and government agencies.

The expansion comes during a period of significant growth for YASSI as the company expands its real-time DMV data network, introduces new products and intelligence capabilities, and scales the technology infrastructure supporting customers across the country.

“We’re building YASSI for the future of an industry that increasingly depends on trusted, real-time vehicle intelligence,” said Bob Rieger, CEO and founder of YASSI. “Chicago expands our ability to lead that evolution and continue raising the standard for how vehicle information is used across the industry.”

Under the leadership of YASSI’s chief technology officer and co-founder Patrick Brown, the Chicago team will work across the company’s platform, advancing fraud-detection models and data capabilities within VIN360, strengthening the reliability and scale of the Easy-Connect API as usage grows, and working directly with customers integrating YASSI intelligence into their own systems.

“In this business, speed matters,” Brown said. “Chicago gives us the engineering talent and proximity to customers nationwide to keep moving at that pace.”

The Chicago opening follows a period of continued expansion and innovation across YASSI’s platform. The company has:

—Expanded its real-time DMV data network to 46 states

—Launched the Easy-Connect API platform

—Introduced VIN360, bringing critical vehicle information together through a single intelligence solution

—Reaffirmed its SOC 2 Type II certification with zero exceptions

“This is a deliberate investment in the people and technology that will shape what YASSI becomes next,” said Marc Blouin, president and chief operating officer of YASSI. “The Chicago technology innovation center gives us a place to bring the right people together and build it right.”
