Strategic partnership joins the leader in location-driven in-vehicle commerce with a global innovation team experienced in advancing new tech solutions

TYSONS CORNER, VA, UNITED STATES, September 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sheeva.AI and Intralink join forces to promote in-vehicle payments and location-based services in the Japanese market, reinforcing the commitment already demonstrated via Sheeva.AI’s collaboration with Hagiwara Electronics and their recent Partners Day event.

The agreement brings together Sheeva.AI, a global leader in the growing in-vehicle payments and services market that already has an existing customer base in South Asia, and Intralink, a UK-based business development consultancy specializing in bringing companies to Japan with a broad network of global automotive and retail partners.

“Last year we made the global automotive hub that is Japan a key market for expansion,” said Evgeny Klochikhin, CEO of Sheeva.AI. “Intralink’s experience in scaling up new technologies in new markets is exactly what we need as we make in-vehicle services even more compelling for every Japanese driver.”

“Many retailers know they need to have a broader, omnichannel digital strategy,” he added. “Sheeva.AI’s one-touch activation and payment is tailor-made to bring their brands and a premium customer experience inside the car cabin.”

“We’re impressed with the market potential of the Sheeva.AI product suite in a consumer market like Japan that is ripe for digital innovation,” said ​​William Jasprizza, SVP and Managing Director, Japan for Intralink. “Finding technologies like Sheeva.AI’s that are ready for rapid growth can be challenging, but they’ve put in the work in other markets to be ready to scale in Japan.”

Sheeva.AI’s patented SheevaConnectproduct suite integrates precise location technology and an in-vehicle digital wallet to allow drivers to seamlessly pay for and receive services like parking, fueling, EV charging, tolling and other retail services all from the comfort of their car.

The firm’s technology automatically detects the vehicle at the specific parking spot, fuel pump or EV charger and enables payments and service point activation with one touch of the in-vehicle infotainment screen or in any OEM’s mobile app.

Sheeva.AI is currently in production with automaker Citroën in India, providing access to fueling at more than half of that country’s gas stations, and is expanding with existing partners in North America.

The partnership with Intralink aims to find new retailers and automotive OEM partners in the Japanese market to expand on Sheeva.AI’s reach to date.
