For rental operators, Fixed Ops Directors & fleet managers

Find the leak. Then run the pilot.

We help fleet and mobility operators uncover hidden operational and financial leakage, evaluate their technology infrastructure, and connect the right solutions to improve efficiency and profitability. No 45-minute slide deck. No pushy software pitch. Just your real P&L leak numbers reviewed directly by Nick DiPrima and Bethany Tardif.

The No-Pitch Guarantee

What we uncover in your 15-minute audit.

We are ecosystem builders, and we run forensic audits on your business workflows, merchant statements, fleet transaction data and tech stack to identify exactly where your margin is leaking.

Bring a recent merchant processing statement, a toll reconciliation export and a rough count of loaners, rentals or fleet units. We come back with a written recovery estimate. If the data does not support a change, we say so and you keep the report.

Payment interchange

Flat-rate debit downgrades, processor markup skims and hidden settlement spreads versus true direct-acquiring floors.

Toll leakage

Unbilled toll bleed, 60-day delayed batch files, ghost auction tolls and municipal title holds across E-ZPass, SunPass and FasTrak.

Unbilled damage

Panel damage that walks off the lot at turn-in, and the six-figure scanner hardware you were about to buy to catch it.

Tech stack lock-in

36-month contracts, advisor double-entry, and RMS, DMS and FMS platforms that block your own data.

Success stories by leak type

Ground-truth operational fixes, not vendor pitch decks.

Toll Leakage Recovery

Automate toll reconciliation across E-ZPass, SunPass and FasTrak to eliminate unbilled toll bleed. Sub-24-hour webhooks replace 60-day batch files. Real-time plate severing stops ghost tolls after de-fleet.

Payment Interchange Optimization

Stop flat-rate debit card downgrades and payment processor markup skims. Tokenize the card at check-in, settle at the curb, and move to direct-acquiring pricing with 100% transparent settlement.

Automated Condition Inspections

Deploy computer-vision AI scans on the smartphone already in your agent's pocket. A 45-second handover scan at pickup and drop-off, anywhere in the country. Zero construction, zero steel, full liability coverage.

Tech Stack Sovereignty

Reclaim API control across your dealership service lane and rental management systems. Over-The-Top layers for tolls, payments and identity keep your data inside your own Walled Garden and build Regulatory Armor.

Car rental operators (RACs)

Regional and licensee operators facing municipal pricing crackdowns, toll cascades and processor markups on every rental.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before you book.

We already have a loaner, toll or payments vendor. Can you still audit us?

Yes. We audit existing technology stacks regardless of your current system or contract status. The 30-Day Silent Pilot is specifically designed to run without breaking your legacy contracts.

How long does the audit take?

Fifteen minutes. No 45-minute slide deck and no discovery-call theater. You bring your real numbers, we show you the real leak.

Is this a software pitch?

No. The No-Pitch Guarantee means vendor recommendations are made only when your data supports a specific solution. Most audits end with a written recovery estimate, not a demo.

What do you need from us?

Fleet size, monthly transaction volume, the technology you run today, your current workflows, and ideally a recent merchant processing statement and toll reconciliation file.

What do we get?

A clear financial recovery opportunity analysis: where margin is leaking across return lanes, service drives, tolls, payments and software, and what it would take to close each leak.

What does a Silent Pilot cost?

Pilots run at cost, month-to-month, with a 30-day notice policy. The standard $5,000 Edgeball stack diagnostic fee is waived for fleets with 50+ loaners or courtesy cars. If we do not show major ROI inside 30 days, you cancel penalty-free.

Your P&L is taking micro-cuts at the gate.

Map your raw transaction data and statements against true direct-acquiring and automated processing floors. Fifteen minutes, no pitch.
