The Reynolds and Reynolds Company announced the start of a new partnership with Skaivision, a provider of “smart space” AI designed to help dealers become more efficient and profitable by leveraging an array of cameras trained on staff and customers as they navigate the sales and service processes.

In a release, Reynolds executives said the partnership, which includes a capital investment as well as an integration with the technology provider’s Retail Management System, represents the next step in its ongoing efforts to reduce wasted time in fixed ops.

“We’re thrilled to invest in Skaivision. Their cutting-edge technology has the ability to help dealers get even more out of their service departments. Every tenth of an hour is billable, and Skaivision helps shine a light on dead bay time,” said Executive Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development Kasi Edwards. “Additionally, we continue to work with them on exciting future integrations that we believe will create unprecedented opportunities for dealerships.”
