Vontier's DRB Selected by Super Star Car Wash for 118-Site Software Transformation
Top car wash operator, Super Star, to deploy DRB's next-generation Patheon® car wash management platform across its national network in 2026
DRB, a Vontier (NYSE:VNT) company and leading provider of technology solutions for the car wash industry, has been selected by Super Star Car Wash to power its technology transformation. Super Star, one of the fastest-growing car wash operators in the country, is actively deploying DRB's Patheon® car wash management platform across its 118 locations.
The migration from Super Star's current system to Patheon represents a strategic investment in proven and modern enterprise-grade technology designed to accelerate car wash revenue, reduce membership churn, enhance operational efficiency and improve customer experience. Site conversions are underway and expected to be completed in 2026, marking one of the most significant technology deployments in the car wash industry.
Advancing Operational Excellence Through Innovation
Patheon's hybrid cloud architecture will provide Super Star with enhanced operational reliability and real-time visibility across its growing network. The system will modernize operations for more than 1,000 Super Star employees while improving the experience for over 550,000 members who rely on the Super Star network. Key benefits include fully integrated consumer marketing, faster transaction processing, improved data visibility across locations and enhanced tools for managing both individual customers and store operations.
"This upgrade is about more than technology — it's about building a better experience for our guests and our teams," said Chad Gretzema, CEO of Super Star Car Wash. "With DRB's Patheon, we're not just solving today's challenges; we're building the foundation for tomorrow's innovation. We're excited about what that means for the Super Star experience."
Strategic Partnership Built on Shared Vision
The partnership follows an extensive evaluation process in which Super Star assessed its technology infrastructure and future needs. DRB's Patheon platform emerged as the clear choice, offering the robust capabilities, proven reliability and scalability required to support Super Star's growth trajectory.
"We conducted an extensive search for the right technology partner. DRB and Patheon brought together deep industry expertise and operational support with a modern, enterprise-ready hybrid cloud platform that goes beyond traditional POS to drive real business outcomes," said Brian Steele, VP of Information Technology for Super Star Car Wash.
"We're honored to partner with Super Star on their ambitious journey," said David Nixon, President of DRB. "Their commitment to excellence and innovation mirrors our own, and together we're setting a new standard for what's possible in the car wash industry. This deployment demonstrates the power of Patheon to serve the most demanding, high-growth operators in the market."
DRB will lead both the implementation at new locations and the overnight conversion of existing sites, providing comprehensive support throughout the transition. The phased rollout allows Super Star to seamlessly transition to the new system, train staff efficiently and keep daily operations running without business interruption.
