SCALE YOUR
UPFITTER SHOP.
The upfitter partner program runs from your first bay to a protected territory: FountFleet supplies the platform, supply chain, software, and leads. You supply the standards.
Run a Shop.
Not a Back Office.
Bays make money. Quoting, cataloging, invoicing, and chasing leads do not. Partnership moves the parts of the business that drown shops onto our platform, so your hours go where your margin lives.
A Sales Team in Software
The vehicle configurator can replace an entire sales staff. It quotes instantly, itemizes every part with a photo, renders the build on the customer’s actual vehicle, and never calls in sick. Your close rate goes up while your payroll does not.
Admin, Absorbed
Purchase orders, invoicing, procurement paperwork, contract compliance: the platform and our back office handle the red tape that normally eats an office manager. Your admin overhead stays flat while your bay count grows.
10,000+ SKUs, Maintained
Every product, spec, photo, and compatibility rule from the leading manufacturers lives in one database we maintain daily. You will never build a parts catalog, chase a spec sheet, or quote a discontinued part again.
Industry Tailored ERP
Quoting, bay scheduling, project management, time tracking, QC forms, and invoicing in one system built specifically for upfitters. The spreadsheet graveyard gets a headstone, and every job has a status anyone can see.
The Customer Portal
Your customers log in and watch their build happen: progress photos, status, documents, and delivery dates. More transparency than hourly phone calls could ever deliver, and nobody has to make hourly phone calls.
Partner Program Leads, Nationwide
Every build configured on FountFleet.com and every job from our national contracts routes to the network. Certified providers with open bays get work they never had to sell. Your pipeline stops depending on your zip code.
Training That Travels
Upfitter University turns green hires into technicians who build to one standard. The manuals are free to the whole industry; the certification is what separates the shops that hang our flag.
The Warranty Badge
Build to the certified standard and your work qualifies for the nationally recognized FountFleet lifetime warranty program. It is the strongest closing argument in the industry, and your shop gets to make it.
For new shops, this is the infrastructure that takes years and a fortune to build alone. For established shops, it is the overhead you finally get to stop carrying.
Your Customers
Feel It First.
Partnership is shop economics and something more: it upgrades what you can promise the fleets that trust you.
Quotes their board can actually read. Every part itemized, pictured, and priced. Your customer walks into the council meeting with answers instead of a lump sum, and the questions run out early.
A window into their build. Live photos and status in the portal mean your customer always knows exactly where their vehicle stands. No wondering, no phone tag, no surprises on delivery day.
Wiring any tech can service, anywhere. Labeled, color coded circuits with QR documented diagrams in the door jamb. Five years from now, in another state, a stranger can fix that vehicle in minutes. That is what documentation is for.
A lifetime warranty that travels. Your builds carry a nationally recognized warranty honored across the whole network. The fleet keeps that protection wherever the vehicle serves, for as long as they own it.
Faster, cleaner purchasing. Cooperative contracts, municipal financing, and one itemized PO instead of a season of paperwork. Your customer gets the vehicle sooner and looks smarter buying it.
Fleets that experience this once expect it everywhere, and the shops that deliver it win the next decade. We built the standard. Certification is how your shop proves it, and the tiers below are the front door.

Partnership Questions, Answered.
How do I start an upfitting business with FountFleet?
Start as a Reseller: wholesale equipment access, the quoting engine, and free Upfitter University training from day one. Complete the mandatory certification courses to qualify as an Authorized Service Provider and receive network work, then take a franchise territory when you are ready to own your market. The infrastructure exists before your first customer does.
What does it cost to join?
Reseller and Authorized Service Provider tiers carry no setup fee. You earn your way in with certification, not a check. Franchise ownership has real investment requirements, detailed on the franchise page.
Do I give up my shop’s name and brand?
No. Resellers and service providers quote under their own brand with our engine doing the heavy lifting. Your reputation stays yours; the platform just makes it easier to defend. Only a franchise flies the FountFleet flag, and that is the point of a franchise.
What makes FountFleet the standard worth certifying against?
Published training the whole industry can read, labeled and documented wiring on every build, itemized quotes with nothing hidden, and the lifetime warranty that proves we mean all of it. Standards are earned in public. Ours is.
Put the Network
Behind Your Shop.
Source parts faster, win install work, or take a protected territory. Start at the tier that fits and move up when the volume says so.
