Automotive compliance and risk management platform provider KPA has announced a strategic shift to becoming an automotive-focused company, emphasizing faster product development and delivering solutions tailored specifically for dealerships and automotive businesses.
According to an announcement on Wednesday, the move is part of a broader company realignment designed to better serve distinct markets. As part of this transition, KPA has launched Novara as an independent entity to support its growing non-automotive software offerings, with a special focus on AI-enabled safety and risk management solutions for high-risk industries such as manufacturing, construction and oil and gas.
KPA will continue to support dealerships and auto businesses in strengthening safety culture and maintaining compliance with state and federal regulations.
Alongside the organizational changes, KPA has appointed Wayne Curtis as CEO to lead the company through the transition.
In a statement, Curtis said, “As a focused automotive organization, KPA is doubling down on helping automotive businesses operate more effectively and profitably. After two decades working side by side with dealership teams, I’ve seen firsthand how specialized expertise and smart solutions help organizations navigate regulatory challenges.”
