Company adds the Client Services Unit, new hires and promotes from within to meet the needs of its fast-growing FinTech Division
FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Digital Recognition Network (DRN), an AI and data analytics company that provides vehicle location data and analytics to auto lenders, insurance carriers and other commercial verticals, today announced the creation of its new Client Services Unit – as part of its FinTech Division – to help its clients to be more strategic. The Client Services Unit provides its clients with consulting services, on-site training and monthly reporting, so they can gain greater insight into DRN’s vehicle location data (a.k.a. automated license plate recognition (ALPR) data) and leverage the data to drive results. Using the monthly reporting capabilities, the Client Services Unit conducted a review of its clients’ usage and performance from January 2018 to August 31, 2018 and found that DRN’s auto lending clients receive a 193 percent average return on their investment from the suite of products in DRNsights.
DRN’s FinTech Division helps auto lenders, ranging from local credit unions to top 100 auto finance companies, mitigate risk via DRNsights, its suite of products that combines DRN’s exclusive vehicle location data with analytics to provide new locations for targeting assets.
“The FinTech Division has expanded in the past year, as the demand for our ALPR technology has increased,” said Todd Hodnett, Executive Chairman and Founder of DRN. “We created the Client Services Unit to make sure that we continued to provide the best customer service possible, which includes ensuring our clients are taking optimal advantage of our solutions to achieve strong results for their businesses.”
The Client Services Unit’s team works with clients to help them use DRN data to better understand vehicle location behavior analytics, so they can predict risk earlier and implement new collection strategies to reduce losses.
Additionally, to accommodate the needs of the growing FinTech Division, DRN has promoted the following team members:
- Jeremiah Wheeler has been promoted to Executive Vice President and General Manager for DRN’s FinTech Division. In this role, Wheeler heads up the FinTech business unit including sales, support and product management.
