Solera, the global leader in vehicle lifecycle management, has announced the launch of the Solera AI Engine, a cloud-native intelligence layer designed to power faster innovation across the automotive industry. Unlike traditional AI features bolted onto legacy systems, the Solera AI Engine is an infrastructure-first capability embedded directly into the Solera Cloud Platform, connecting proprietary data, automating cross-product workflows, and enabling the company to rapidly develop and deploy new solutions.

Why it matters

The automotive industry has long struggled with fragmented technology stacks and siloed data, creating operational drag and limiting the potential of AI. The Solera AI Engine aims to solve this problem by providing a unified cloud-based platform, a proprietary automotive data foundation, and an orchestration layer to connect workflows across the ecosystem of dealers, insurers, repair facilities, and more.

The details

The Solera AI Engine is built on three integrated layers: a global cloud platform, a proprietary automotive data foundation, and a workflow orchestration layer. This architecture allows Solera to compress development timelines, rapidly prototype and test new capabilities, and collaborate with customers to deliver practical AI solutions that directly improve operational workflows.

  • Solera announced the Solera AI Engine on April 20, 2026.
  • The company says the new platform will enable it to deliver enterprise-class applications on dramatically shorter timelines, compressing development cycles by an order of magnitude or more.
