Solera Debuts Cloud Platform To Help Dealers Thrive at NADA Show 2026 in Las Vegas

Solera to showcase unified dealer Cloud Platform, host “Drive + Thrive” F1 Arcade event experience, and support women and diverse leaders through WIND (Women In Dealerships) program

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solera, a global leader in vehicle lifecycle management and dealer technology, will bring its new “Thrive here.™” brand platform to life at NADA Show 2026, taking place February 3–6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC). The company will highlight how automotive dealers can unify sales, service, finance, marketing, operations and connected car into a single, intelligent cloud platform that helps their entire business thrive, whatever the challenge.

At the center of Solera’s presence is a reimagined expo experience in the LVCC West Hall, designed as a destination rather than a traditional product island. Visitors will find open, hospitality-led zones for live demos, strategy conversations and informal networking, along with immersive brand and automotive elements that reflect the speed, precision and data-driven performance of today’s top dealerships and groups.

Thrive here.™: a customer-first promise to dealers

The new brand focus shifts Solera’s message from internal integration to customer outcomes. Instead of focusing on how many brands and product Solera has acquired and developed, the new platform speaks directly to how dealers thrive when every core workflow lives in a single ecosystem: selling more cars, retaining more customers, and reducing vendor and data chaos across the store or enterprise.

For NADA 2026, that message comes to life as a clear promise that Solera’s dealer solutions are engineered to unify Sales, Service, Finance, Marketing, Operations and Connected Car under one cloud, backed by AI and rich first‑party data.

An immersive booth that feels like a modern dealership command center

Inside the booth, dealers will experience the Solera Cloud Platform in the context of real dealership roles and workflows, rather than siloed point solutions. Guided demos will show how:

The DMS functions as a mission‑critical operating system for the store.
DealerSocket^® CRM operates as a command‑grade relationship engine, powered by equity mining, digital retailing and AI‑driven follow‑up.
Service Suite delivers a high‑performance fixed ops command system, with digital check‑in, multipoint inspection, mobile approvals, transportation, and integrated payments.
Inventory+ provides always‑on inventory intelligence to support smarter appraisals, stocking and pricing.
Marketing Platform and websites operate as a data‑driven profit and conversion engine, linking campaigns, websites and CRM to maximize ROI.
Call Services and Conversational AI create a precision‑controlled inbound and outbound contact center that converts more phone and digital traffic into appointments.
Titling provides a frictionless titling and registration engine that accelerates funding, improves compliance and reduces DMV rework.
LoJack^® and related connected‑car services extend the platform into vehicle recovery, lot management and advanced connected‑car experiences.

Across the booth, Solera will highlight AI‑powered capabilities such as AI‑generated estimates, predictive marketing, conversational AI assistants and advanced reporting – all designed to help dealers act on their data in real time, across the entire customer lifecycle.

Drive + Thrive at F1 Arcade: the client experience everyone wants to be at

To deepen relationships with key customers and prospects, Solera will host an exclusive “Drive + Thrive” evening at F1 Arcade in Las Vegas during NADA. The invite‑only event will combine competitive racing simulators, hospitality and networking, giving dealer principals and senior leaders a high‑energy environment to connect with Solera executives and product experts.

The experience is designed to create real, memorable moments with high‑value clients and prospects – the kind of stories that are still being told long after NADA closes – while reinforcing Solera’s positioning around performance, precision and team‑based success.

Elevating women and diverse leaders: WIND and WOCAN engagement

Solera will also use NADA 2026 to spotlight its support for women and diverse leaders in automotive retail, including participation in WIND (Women in Dealerships) and WOCAN activations. These efforts will include sponsored gatherings, thought‑leadership participation and curated networking moments that bring together women and under‑represented leaders from across the dealership community.

By investing in these communities, Solera aims to do more than talk about inclusion – it aims to connect its platform and expertise with the people shaping the future of the industry, from general managers and dealer principals to rising operational leaders.
