Xtime Wins Best Automotive Application

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 2, 2014— Known for its advanced connected car capabilities, Xtime took home the honour for Best Automotive Application at the 2014 Annual Telematics Update Awards. Among a selected group of winners from more than 500 nominations globally, Xtime was recognised for ServiceTelematics, a component of its industry-leading Scheduling 7 solution that is in use at over 6,000 dealerships in the United States, Canada and Australia.

Telematics Update judges “admired Xtime’s very clear philosophy,” saying that it has “the potential to become a key enabler for the industry.”

Xtime’s ServiceTelematics seamlessly connects a vehicle with the automaker’s dealer network. When alerted about required maintenance or repair, the driver can use the in-dash telematics system, mobile application or vehicle diagnosis email notifications to quickly schedule service directly with their preferred dealer. Xtime’s ServiceTelematics then transmits service details to the selected dealership and confirms the order, and the information is used by the preferred dealer’s Service Advisor to check in the customer upon arrival—the result is an integrated and quality experience that values the driver’s convenience.

“Xtime takes great pride in being at the forefront of the connected car movement and creating platforms that represent the ultimate customer experience,” said Neal East, Xtime CEO. “We are elated that the telematics community recognises our innovations and that an increasing number of major automakers are looking to Xtime to power their in-car service scheduling.”

In addition to Hyundai’s Blue Link and Volvo’s Sensus Connect, Xtime is integrated into telematics platforms for BMW, Honda and Infiniti, and plans to announce additional manufacturers over the next year.
