Bestpass and Tollsmart Announce Partnership Giving Bestpass Customers Access to International Toll Calculator
ALBANY, N.Y. – Bestpass customers will now have access to the Tollsmart Toll Calculator, which covers every tolled facility in the United States and Canada, through a newly announced partnership between the two companies.
Bestpass, which provides single-source payment and streamlined toll management services to commercial fleets, has integrated the Tollsmart application into its customer web portal, located at my.bestpass.com. Users will be able to estimate costs of multiple routes, including additional Bestpass volume discounts, and make strategic decisions about how to deploy their vehicles.
“While we have users in every type of vehicle, from sedans to cement mixers, we can especially provide value to commercial fleets with many vehicles using a variety of toll roads,” said Jim Kovarik, cofounder and CEO of Tollsmart. “Bestpass has been a well-respected leader in the commercial toll management business for a long time, so this collaboration made a great deal of sense for both parties.”
“We are excited to be able to offer our customers the additional functionality of the Tollsmart Toll Calculator as part of the Bestpass service,” said John Andrews, president and CEO of Bestpass. “We are always striving to add value, whether it is expanding our tolling coverage to include every major U.S. toll road or adding powerful new tools to our already robust customer web portal.”
