"The new system's functionality and flexibility are based largely on the direct input of our customers," explains Bill Kwelty, ARI Vice President and Chief Information Officer. "Now ARI insights will give our clients a world-class set of enabling technologies that transfer data into business value. "The system makes it possible for customers to get more fleet-related work accomplished faster, more easily and conveniently.
