SOUTH JORDAN, Utah, Oct. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OwnerCare from AutoPoint, a Solera company and a leader in technology for the automotive industry, has been named a finalist for the 2015 DrivingSales Executive Summit Innovation Cup. The annual Innovation Cup contest seeks to uncover 'the most innovative solution of the year.' AutoPoint's web-based OwnerCare app will face off against four other solutions from prominent automotive vendors for the ultimate prize.

OwnerCare is an interactive, mobile-enabled, web-based system that provides dealers' service customers with digital reports on the health of their vehicles. The app also delivers precise service estimates and pairs service recommendations with educational materials that inform and empower customers to take charge of the service experience—all through a digital platform. OwnerCare enables motorists to make informed service decisions, which results in unbeatable motorist engagement and increased service approvals for dealers.

The OwnerCare app eliminates phone tag between dealerships and customers, streamlines the customer education process, and creates records of approved and deferred service work within AutoPoint's electronic MultiPoint inspection solution. On average, dealers who use OwnerCare have seen their gross profit per visit increase by 65%.

'We're thrilled to see that OwnerCare is a finalist in this highly competitive contest,' says Rich Holland, Managing Director of AutoPoint. 'We've watched OwnerCare revolutionize the motorist's relationship with their service department creating a convenient and credible vehicle service experience. As a result, our dealers have seen significant lifts in motorist satisfaction and retention in addition to increased profitability.'

As an Innovation Cup finalist, AutoPoint will present OwnerCare to a panel of judges at the DrivingSales Executive Summit on October 19, 2015. DrivingSales is scheduled to announce the winner at the conclusion of the Executive Summit event on October 20th.
