iMotorManager is a first-of-its-kind Automotive Platform that provides consumers with tools, analytics, and information to help reduce the ever increasing costs of vehicle ownership. The platform aids consumers in finding, locating, and saving on Automotive Services, helps increase cost awareness through easy to read statistics and trends, and is community enhanced through automatic station detection and dynamic updates.

Many tools currently available in the automotive market space are limited to either finding fuel stations or are stand alone applications that run on a single device. If you upgrade, lose, or replace the device, or move to a completely new platform (ie, move from an iphone to an android phone) then the stand alone application data is completely lost. iMotorManager is a complete platform, information is stored in a large central database which allows us to support multiple users, and multiple accounts, across multiple devices. Plus, instead of focusing just on finding services, or entering records, we provide all this functionality in a single application.

Many fuel finder applications today attempt to present you with an exact cost per gallon which may be referencing a different grade than you are interested in, or a price that is now stale due to the ever changing cost of a barrel of oil. What you really want to know is if a service provider, be it fuel, or maintenance, tends to be consistently less expensive than its competition. By identifying these trends you can be assured that regardless of the current state and cost flucuations of the economy you will be selecting a service provider that consistently provides low cost value to its customers.

Imagine you are a family of 5, or an individual with 2-3 vehicles. Say there are 3 drivers in the family, or that the individual has a work vehicle and a personal vehicle. With iMotorManager each driver in the family can easily update the family vehicles from their smart phone device since all the information is pooled into the family account. Records entered by one user are immediately available to another. For the individual that manages multiple vehicles, perhaps you have a work phone and a personal phone. Your work phone may be a ruggedized device and may not be the same device as your personal phone. Each of your vehicles are easily accessible from any of your devices. At anytime you can add, upgrade or replace devices without losing any of your data.

The platform is very much community driven in that every record entered is analyzed, tagged, and transformed into useful information that is pumped back into the system consequently updating in real time robust trend analytics, station mapping, pricing models, etc. An activity rewards program is implemented encouraging frequent use. Points can be redeemed in the my account section of the www.imotormanager.com website.

The suggested way to use the application is to enter records AT THE POINT OF SERVICE. iMotorManager uses a complex station detection algorithm to determine where you are at while entering a service record. For example, after you are done performing a fill up at your favorite gas station, get back into the car, launch the app, tap the "Fillup" button for the vehicle you want to fillup, and watch as the system automatically detects your location. After you enter the fillup details and save the record, the system automatically enters the record into your account and the detected location allowing you to review the locations in the account section of the website.

Congrats! You will get double the activity points for tagging an unmarked station! Tag as many unmarked stations as you can to build rapid reward points. Each "Unknown Station" entry will be verified using advanced geocoding techniques and if your unknown station entry is indeed verified as a valid service provider, your double points will be awarded.

The platform is highly extensible and there will be new features and services added constantly. Most features will not require a new version of the application as the handset software is highly dynamic with the ability to update itself as new features come online.
