MT. LAUREL, N.J., April 7, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Automotive Resources International (ARI), a leading global fleet solutions provider specializing in complex car and truck fleets, announced the integration of its web-based ARI ACCESS(r) System to the Wright Express' portal. ARI is the first Wright Express co-branded partner to integrate in a real-time transaction processing mode, providing seamless integration.
The new systems integration technology enhances the ability of fleet managers to manage a fuel program in real-time. ARI customers can now manage driver IDs in real-time through ARI's Access System and the information will flow straight through to Wright Express' system. The next capability available through ARI's ACCESS System, allows a driver without an active driver ID to obtain immediate assistance at the pump. Or, it allows a fleet manager to turn driver IDs off immediately, minimizing exposure in the event of termination or compromised driver IDs.
Bill Kwelty ARI's Vice President and Chief Information Officer noted, "By improving the work-flow process between ARI, our customers and Wright Express, we have virtually eliminated any delays in managing all the various aspects of the fuel program. Fuel management is a major focus for our customers and this step will allow us to not only be more responsive, but continue to provide superior customer service and keep our systems aligned with our customers' priorities."
