Wilmar Inc. Offers Clients Latest Technology Through Driveitaway's Upstream Remarketing Program

Third-party technology now available to small fleets

CHICAGO, Dec. 21 -- Driveitaway Inc., the pioneer in upstream remarketing programs for commercial fleet vehicles, announces that Wilmar Inc. of Charlotte, NC, will offer the reDrive(SM) remarketing platform to its client base of small fleets, through LeasePlan's Network Division.

Family-run Wilmar Inc. is one of the Southeastern United States' largest independent vehicle management companies, with approximately 4,500 vehicles in service. For 25 years, Wilmar has offered a full range of leasing services, including assistance with fleet purchase and disposal.

The reDrive brand platform will allow Wilmar's clients to offer their end- of-lease cars, vans and trucks for sale to their drivers and employees before they come off lease. Under the program, fleet managers realize substantially better net proceeds compared to traditional remarketing channels, and buyers can purchase at close-to-wholesale prices. With reDrive, prospective buyers can view comprehensive online information about each vehicle, including a third party inspection report with multiple pictures and a full maintenance history.

"This program levels the playing field between large and small leasing companies," said Scott Crawford, president of Wilmar Inc. "It's a great way to cross-promote the vehicles in your clients' inventories in a more controlled setting and with more comprehensive data than is available on general auction sites."

"We are delighted to have worked with LeasePlan and Wilmar to develop an upstream remarketing program to suit its client profile," said John Possumato, Vice Chairman and Founder of Driveitaway. "The majority of fleets have fewer than 50 vehicles, and the Driveitaway platform brings the money-saving benefits to these leasing companies and customers as well."
