About AIP
The Automotive Intelligence Platform was formed in July 2026 when asTech and Opus IVS combined, bringing BlueDriver, Repairify International and a family of companies that each helped the repair industry keep pace with the vehicle. Our mission is simple to state and hard to do: make sure every advanced vehicle leaves the shop repaired the way its manufacturer intended.
When you think of AI, you think of artificial intelligence. We think of it as Automotive Intelligence.
When you think of IP, you think of intellectual property. We think of it as an Intelligent Platform.
Together they create the elements of a seamless platform of automotive intelligence, with access throughout the entire vehicle repair process.
Thirty years ago a car had a handful of computers and a repair was mechanical. Today a vehicle carries dozens of electronic control units, cameras and radars that brake, steer and warn on the driver's behalf, and almost every repair touches one of them. Each step in that evolution created a new problem for repairers, and at each step one of the companies now in AIP was built to solve it.
Every AIP capability traces back to a founder team that solved one hard problem in vehicle repair. Customers keep buying from the brands they know; underneath them is one platform, one set of OEM relationships and one team.
A windshield, a bumper, an alignment or a replaced module can leave a safety system out of calibration, and the manufacturer's procedures decide what the repair requires. Shops needed three things at once: to know what the vehicle needs, to perform the work with the right software, and to prove it was done.
asTech had the customers and the service network; Opus IVS had the identification technology, the tools and the OEM software relationships. Neither could deliver the whole repair alone. Together, with BlueDriver and Repairify International, they cover the full chain: identify, scan, calibrate and program, and document, on one platform, under the brands customers already know.
Led Opus IVS from 2018 and Drew Technologies before that, where he helped write the J2534 standard. An inventor on more than 100 pending patents and a board member at SEMA, I-CAR and ETI.
Leads finance for the combined company: one close, one plan and one set of numbers across every brand and region.
Leads the remote services business, the technician network and the consumer brand, and the transformation of how the work is delivered.
Leads product and technology: ADAS MAP, the device platforms, the OEM software programs and the engineering teams behind them.
ADAS MAP reads the estimate and the VIN and tells the repairer which scans, calibrations and programming the manufacturer requires, before the work starts.
OEM scans with licensed manufacturer software, or our own aftermarket scan where the vehicle allows it, delivered remotely or on the shop's own tools.
Static and dynamic ADAS calibrations and module programming, performed by certified master technicians remotely, in the shop, or by the shop on our platform.
Reports, procedure references and the manufacturer's own position statements travel with every repair, so the shop, the insurer and the vehicle owner see the same record.
