Urgently Capabilities for Customer Partners 

Urgently’s mobility assistance and dealer platforms dynamically match vehicle owners with service professionals, enabled by proprietary technology, algorithms and data ecosystems. Capabilities include:

• Real-time tracking, connecting the customer partner, consumer, service provider and repair facility via digital and analog communication channels from dispatch to final disposition.
• Integrated dealer technology allows dealers to extend their service technician footprint outside the dealership by receiving and managing service requests for customers at home, work or on the road. This empowers dealers to develop much stronger relationships with their customers leading to high customer satisfaction, in brand remote services. Additionally, dealers can dispatch, monitor and manage tow and roadside requests through their portal for full program visibility.
• Live job management and actionable data from dispatch to completion, both on a per-job basis and in the aggregate.
• Multi-channel consumer and service provider accessibility, including a fully digitized experience via mobile application, live customer service representatives, and a software as a service (“SaaS”) layer.
• Broad mobility assistance capabilities, including towing solutions, mobile repair services (e.g., flat tire, jump start, lockout, fuel delivery, electric vehicle charging, tire and battery replacement), collision and impound-related towing and onward mobility services that enable a consumer to continue their journey following a roadside event.
