Formant, the leading cloud robotics platform, announced a new strategic commercial partnership with Holman, a global automotive services leader, to further advance Formant’s groundbreaking robot fleet and data management solution. This first-of-its-kind collaboration marks a significant step forward in the continued integration of robotics technology and fleet management services, combining Formant’s innovative cloud robotics platform with Holman’s industry-leading fleet and automotive expertise.
“The trust placed in Formant by an industry leader like Holman validates our position in the market and our ability to serve enterprise-level clients,” said Jeff Linnell, CEO and Founder of Formant. “This partnership opens new avenues for both companies to innovate and provide cutting-edge solutions as traditional fleet management and robotics continue to intersect.”
Formant’s expertise in cloud robotics shares a number of natural synergies with Holman’s comprehensive suite of commercial automotive services which includes fleet management and leasing, upfitting, and vocational vehicle equipment manufacturing. The commercial partnership with Holman will help fuel the growth and ongoing development of Formant’s innovative robotics platform which transforms how businesses seamlessly manage their fleet while integrating physical automation.
“For more than a century, Holman has been quick to embrace emerging technologies that strengthen our core competencies and have the potential to deliver additional value for our customers,” said Holman Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer Gernot Leinenbach. “After an initial investment several years ago, Holman is proud to further support Formant’s continued growth through this strategic partnership. This collaboration provides deep insight and broad visibility into the rapidly maturing robotics sector, which continues to converge with the fleet management industry.”
As traditional fleet vehicles and automated machinery continue to integrate across fleet operations, a growing number of businesses need a solution for simplified and efficient management of these assets across their entire organization. This partnership is poised to address this evolving need, providing seamless management solutions for both vehicles and robotics that positions these assets as valuable strategic investments rather than simply operational costs.
