In a deal that will greatly increase its technological footprint, National Carwash Solutions announced on Tuesday the acquisition of AMP Memberships LLC.
AMP, the creators of an innovative membership mobile app as well as the Clarity point-of-sale (POS) systems, becomes a strategic addition to NCS, which is now primed to off a suite of integrated solutions tailored to the needs of each car wash owner and operator.
NCS, founded in 1973, is the leading provider of comprehensive carwash solutions in North America with a portfolio of industry-leading brands, equipment and services.
Adding AMP features such as data-driven marketing, advanced analytics, customizable membership programs, and customer engagement tools will only enhance NCS’ offerings.
“AMP rounds out the NCS portfolio, allowing us to offer every solution a car wash owner or operator needs to build, grow, or restore their business,” said Jesse Wurth, the company’s CEO.
“This acquisition reflects our commitment to providing industry-leading technology and services that enhance our customers’ success.”
AMP is known for its revolutionary cutting-edge AI and machine learning software which has empowered operators via a fully customizable, on-demand, self-service portal.
AMP’s Clarity POS system offers real-time data insights, fraud reduction, and intuitive sales tools for attendants.
“NCS shares our passion for innovation and customer success,” said Adam Trien, CEO and CTO of AMP. “Joining forces means AMP can scale faster and reach more car wash operators, empowering them with the tools they need to grow their business.”
The integration of AMP’s advanced analytics, machine learning, and fully integrated POS solutions will enhance NCS’ connected carwash, which includes the soon-to-be-released smart controller, connected equipment through NCS Lens, and other cutting-edge technologies on the horizon.
“Our mission is to continue leading the industry with technology that connects and enhances every aspect of car wash operations,” said Jimmy Belanger, chief innovation officer for NCS.
“AMP’s platform is another way we’re delivering on this vision, providing operators with the tools they need to drive efficiency, boost revenue, and stay ahead in a competitive market.”
