Company Announcements

AKRON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 23, 2026-- DRB®, a Vontier company and leading provider of technology solutions for the car wash industry, is presenting its Autonomous Sales Agent concept, bringing virtual AI-assisted selling to the car wash lane. The solution leverages DRB’s point-of-sale data and Microsoft Foundry to deliver a conversational AI experience at the car wash kiosk.

The Autonomous Sales Agent delivers an impactful, data-driven sales interaction through a simulated salesperson to increase membership capture rates, improve ticket averages and alleviate staffing pressures through smart, always-on selling.

“The Autonomous Sales Agent has the potential to unlock a new level of customer service and personalization opportunity in the car wash industry. By combining point-of-sale data with artificial intelligence, DRB will enable smart recommendations, more predictable performance, and a scalable approach to sales execution across every lane,” said David Nixon, DRB President.

“For customers who still prefer a human touch, this solution provides an excellent option for accelerating the ramp-up of newly built or acquired sites while also offering coverage during staffing shortages. Bringing this solution to life through strong relationships across the technology ecosystem is yet another example of the advantages of being a part of Vontier,” Nixon added.

DRB will preview the Autonomous Sales Agent at The Car Wash Show in booth #601, where the team will gather feedback, validate demand and recruit early pilot partners. The Car Wash Show takes place May 11-13 in Nashville, Tenn.
