Annual Awards Program Recognizes Breakthrough Innovation in Automotive & Transportation Technologies Around the Globe

Williamstown, W.V., October 15, 2026 – iPacket today announced it has been selected as “Auto Dealership Platform of the Year” in the 7th annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by AutoTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global automotive and transportation technology markets today.

iPacket is a comprehensive platform that empowers dealerships to merchandise vehicles more effectively, make smarter decisions, and create exceptional buying experiences. Every iPacket provides consumers with a complete digital vehicle presentation, which may include vehicle history reports, inspection reports, service records, window stickers, and other critical information. iPacket gives shoppers easy access to information before visiting a dealership, helping to establish trust, increase buyer confidence, and shorten the path to purchase. 

The company has recently expanded beyond digital vehicle presentations by developing innovative automation tools that provide dealers with actionable, real-time insights. Features such as price change alerts, heatmaps, and live view notifications proactively notify dealership teams when inventory requires attention, allowing them to react immediately without manually monitoring every vehicle. iPacket also delivers value across the entire dealership, providing sales teams with better merchandising tools, marketing teams with richer digital vehicle content, managers have access to meaningful inventory insights, and customers enjoy a more transparent buying experience. This holistic approach enables dealerships to increase efficiency and create strong connections with digitally driven consumers.

In addition, iPacket moves beyond software, working closely with dealership partners to continuously refine its platform based on real-world feedback and changing market demands. Through educational webinars, customer success programs, training resources, and ongoing product enhancements, iPacket equips its customers with both technology and the knowledge to maximize its value. 

“At its core, iPacket was founded on a simple but powerful mission: to bring transparency to automotive retail. Dealerships need technology partners that lead, helping them to work smarter, respond faster, and deliver better customer experiences. Our customers continuously report improved operational efficiency and more consumer confidence – and we listen to their feedback,” said Seve Astorg, co-founder and CEO of iPacket. “Thank you to AutoTech Breakthrough for this recognition. We will continue to deliver measurable value, embrace innovation, and dedicate ourselves to customer success through a forward-thinking approach that we aim to have a lasting impact on automotive retail.”

The transportation technology sector is rapidly redefining the way people and goods move, transforming one of the world’s largest and most vital industries. From autonomous driving technologies and advanced driver-assistance systems to connected vehicle platforms, electrification, and sustainable mobility solutions, transportation technology is delivering greater safety, efficiency and environmental responsibility.

The mission of the annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the innovators transforming the global automotive and mobility landscape with breakthrough technology. The program conducts a comprehensive analysis of the companies redefining how vehicles are designed, manufactured, driven and maintained. From autonomous driving platforms and connected vehicle software to AI-driven safety systems, IoT-based fleet and telematics monitoring, and next-generation electrification and battery innovations, these innovations are enabling automotive companies to operate more efficiently, deliver safer and smarter transportation, and shape the future of how the world moves.

“In an industry where transparency has become a competitive advantage, iPacket sets the standard.

Consumer expectations continue to evolve, and dealerships are overwhelmed with software solutions promising to improve operations, increase sales, and enhance the customer experience. Yet most automotive technology providers only focus on solving one of these operational challenges,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, AutoTech Breakthrough. “As dealership operations have evolved, so has iPacket, delivering on all three challenges. iPacket helps simplify complex processes, build consumer trust through transparency, and leverage intelligent automation to work more efficiently, so dealerships succeed in a digital marketplace. We’re awarding iPacket with ‘Auto Dealership Platform of the Year.’”
