We Are So Glad You Made It!

From everyone at Solera, thank you for making this our biggest and best NADA yet. Whether you stopped by the booth experience, raced with us at the Drive + Thrive Party, attended the women's power session, or just stopped by for a latte, you helped bring the “Dealers thrive here. ™” vision to life in a big way.

We loved hearing how you’re tackling inventory, staffing, margin pressure, and tech sprawl; and showing how a connected Solera Cloud Platform can simplify the day-to-day while setting your team up for long-term growth. The Mercedes‑AMG Formula 1 show car, the Thrive café, and our live ecosystem demos were just the start of the conversation.

Dealers 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 here.™ | What is the cloud platform?

We are aware of concerns related to the Ford 99P Labor Operation Codes. Our teams are actively working to resolve this issue before month-end. Upon resolution, we will initiate a data resend to refresh the data in Ford systems.

02/20/2026 Update: All Ford RO 99P UDB data for ALL ford Dealers has been resent for ROs closed between 2/1-2/19. If there are any data concern for this period, please contact Auto/Mate Fixed Operations Support. Auto/Mate will be doing weekly resends of the 99P UDB data for ALL Ford dealers until the root cause of the issue is resolved.
