Solera launches in-state Pennsylvania Titling for dealers and tag agencies. Cloud-based platform adds integrated scanning, pre-submission quality review, and driver's license data capture to a Pennsylvania titling market that has seen limited innovation in years. WESTLAKE, Texas, June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Solera, a global leader in vehicle lifecycle management software, today announced the launch of Solera Titling for in-state Pennsylvania. The cloud-based solution gives Pennsylvania dealerships and tag agencies a modern alternative to legacy titling tools, with integrated scanning, pre-submission quality review, driver's license data verification, customizable invoicing, and a complete state forms library inside a single workflow. "Titling touches every deal, and in a state with Pennsylvania's transaction volume, even small efficiency gains compound quickly. This launch reflects where..." Pennsylvania processes millions of vehicle title transactions each year, and back-office workflows remain a primary source of delay in the deal lifecycle. While dealer-facing technology has advanced across CRM, digital retailing, and inventory, most in-state titling tools still rely on basic electronic submission, with limited automation and few connections to the systems dealers run every day. Errors discovered only after a PennDOT rejection slow funding, add rework, and pull title clerks, controllers, and F&I managers off live deals. Solera Titling for in-state Pennsylvania is generally available beginning June 1, 2026. The platform includes integrated document scanning with automated pre-submission review, a handheld 2D barcode scanner that pulls customer data directly from a driver's license, customizable invoicing that consolidates taxes, PennDOT fees, and service charges into a single document, a transaction-organized library of current Pennsylvania title forms, and in-product Help Desk chat for real-time support. The solution runs on the Solera Cloud Platform and connects to Solera's other leading dealer solutions, including DealerSocket CRM, Auto/Mate DMS, Inventory+, Service Lane Technology, Marketing, and Connected Car solutions like LoJack. "Titling touches every deal, and in a state with Pennsylvania's transaction volume, even small efficiency gains compound quickly. This launch reflects where we are taking the broader Solera platform, with the help of our AI Engine and a dramatically improved development cycle: deeper into the dealer workflows that define the customer lifecycle, with measurable improvements at every step." - Alberto Cairo, Chief Financial Officer and Managing Director, Solera Solera serves more than 280,000 customers across 120 countries, and its dealer software portfolio supports thousands of franchise and independent dealerships in North America. Solera Titling extends that footprint into a state-specific workflow built in direct consultation with Pennsylvania title clerks, F&I managers, controllers, and tag agency operators.

Solera integrates Uber Wait & Save with Shuttle OnDemand in Service Suite. With the integration, dealers can lower ride costs and improve CSI as off-site customers approve more work. Kyle Alexander is the Multimedia Journalist of AutoSuccess. Published: June 2, 2026 Solera announced a new integration between Uber's Wait & Save ride option and its Shuttle OnDemand platform within Service Suite. The integration gives dealership service departments a lower-cost way to manage customer transportation while improving customer satisfaction and increasing repair order profitability. Shuttle OnDemand, powered by Uber for Business, enables dealerships to book on-demand, dealer-branded rides in as little as 20 seconds. There are no monthly fees, no additional personnel and no fleet assets to manage. How Wait & Save works inside Shuttle OnDemand. When a dealership books a ride for a service customer, Wait & Save now appears as an option alongside standard UberX within the Shuttle OnDemand workflow. No additional setup or configuration is required. The discount is dynamic and directly proportional to real-time demand levels. During high-demand periods, savings are even greater. The Uber algorithm uses the extended pickup window to find the best-priced driver match, reducing the per-trip cost charged to the dealership while delivering the same UberX vehicle, the same driver standards and the same ride quality the customer expects. "This is not about asking customers to compromise," said Ellen Braaf, vice president of dealer solutions at Solera. "Most service customers have already dropped off their vehicle and are in the lounge or heading home. A few extra minutes of wait time is a non-issue for them - but the savings add up fast for the dealership." A direct path to higher RO profitability. The integration addresses a well-documented dynamic in fixed operations: Customers who are transported home or to work while their vehicle is being serviced are significantly more likely to approve additional repair recommendations. Solera's platform data has consistently shown that off-site customers spend approximately 20% more per repair order than customers who remain in the service lounge. The reasoning is straightforward - when a customer is comfortable at home or at the office, the pressure of sitting in a waiting room disappears. They are more open to approving recommended maintenance and additional work because they are not watching the clock. "The math is simple," said Stephen Kelley, vice president of product strategy and UX at Solera. "If you can reduce the cost of getting a customer home and simultaneously increase the likelihood that they approve a bigger ticket, you have created a compounding advantage for the service department. That is exactly what this integration delivers." Lowering transportation costs without cutting corners. Transportation has become one of the fastest-growing line items in fixed ops budgets. Between loaner fleet depreciation, insurance, maintenance, fuel and dedicated shuttle drivers, many dealers are spending far more than they realize to move customers during a service visit. Shuttle OnDemand eliminates the need for shuttle vans, dedicated drivers and loaner fleet overhead. Wait & Save layers on additional per-trip savings by dynamically adjusting ride pricing based on real-time conditions. For dealerships booking thousands of rides per month, even modest per-trip reductions translate into meaningful annual savings. Across the Shuttle OnDemand platform, Solera books more than 110,000 rides per month and over 1.39 million rides annually, maintaining a 96% customer satisfaction rate. Protecting CSI in an era of rising customer expectations. CSI scores remain one of the most closely watched metrics in the franchise dealer world, directly influencing OEM incentive payouts and long-term customer retention. Solera's research has shown that perceived wait time - not actual service duration - is the primary driver of negative CSI outcomes in the service lane. By making it easier and more affordable to transport customers off-site, Wait & Save helps dealers address that perception gap head-on. Customers who are at home or at work during a repair experience less frustration than those sitting in a lounge wondering when their car will be ready. The result: Better survey scores, stronger retention and a service experience that competes with the convenience customers expect from every business they interact with. Integrated into the Solera Cloud Platform. Wait & Save is available now within Shuttle OnDemand as part of Solera's Service Suite, which also includes scheduling, digital check-in, multipoint inspection, loaner management, messaging, payments and dealer websites. Service Suite sits within the broader Solera Cloud Platform, connecting fixed ops to CRM, DMS, marketing, inventory and connected-car solutions under one roof. The integration requires no additional setup. Wait & Save appears automatically when conditions allow, giving service advisors and dispatchers a one-click path to lower-cost rides without disrupting their workflow. According to the company, this announcement will be followed by product releases and news throughout the coming year.
