ServiceUp and Merchants Fleet have partnered to reduce downtime and streamline vehicle repairs for fleets.

The deal brings together ServiceUp’s repair management platform and Merchant Fleet’s fleet management tools. The latter’s customers will be able to manage all repairs in one centralized platform, the companies announced, promising faster return-to-road times.

“In our mission to make fleet management as simple and stress-free as possible for our clients, every detail matters,” said Jeff Nieman, senior vice-president and chief operations officer of Merchants Fleet. “Partnering with ServiceUp allows us to deliver on that promise by taking the hassle out of the repair process, minimizing downtime so our clients can keep their fleets moving. Their end-to-end repair management model aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing smarter, more responsive solutions that truly make a difference for the businesses we serve.”

“Downtime from repairs is one of the most expensive and frustrating parts of fleet management,” added Brett Carlson, CEO and Co-Founder of ServiceUp. “This partnership with Merchants helps fleets take back control by minimizing delays, reducing frustration, and keeping vehicles on the road where they belong.”

ServiceUp offers a national (U.S.) network of vetted repair facilities.
