10th Add-On Acquisition Adds Capabilities and Expands Services to Federal Agency Fleets

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEHR, the nation’s leading emergency vehicle upfitter, today announced the acquisition of the emergency vehicle upfitting assets of ProLogic ITS, a technology and public safety solutions provider headquartered in Acworth, Georgia. The transaction marks LEHR’s 10th add-on acquisition, extending the company’s presence deeper into the Southeast and adding new capabilities to serve federal agencies. This acquisition will add six locations to LEHR’s portfolio across Georgia, Alabama, and Florida.

“Georgia and the broader Southeast have been a priority market for us, and this acquisition gives us an immediate, formidable presence there,” said Daniel Hamm, CEO of LEHR. “ProLogic ITS also expands our capabilities and offerings, allowing us to serve some of the nation’s leading federal agencies.”

For more than a decade, ProLogic ITS has outfitted emergency vehicles for law enforcement, fire, and EMS agencies across Georgia, Florida, and the surrounding Southeast, alongside the company’s broader technology integration business. Its upfitting technicians are background checked, drug tested, and hold Level 3 CJIS clearance to meet the security standards agencies expect.

“As its 10th add-on in just two years, this acquisition is another example of LEHR’s disciplined approach to growth,” said Eliot Kerlin, Managing Partner of Broadwing Capital. “ProLogic ITS adds a strong regional presence, experienced talent and specialized capabilities that further strengthen LEHR’s platform and position the company for continued expansion.”

“Partnering with LEHR gives our customers, supplier partners and employees access to greater resources, expanded capabilities and a broader platform for growth than we could offer as a standalone shop,” said Paul Sprayberry, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of ProLogic ITS. “After evaluating several options, it became clear that LEHR is the right partner for us given their commitment to quality and dedication to customer service, which has led to strong loyalty and best-in-class customer retention rates.

The existing leadership team of ProLogic ITS will remain in place and report to Brandon Jessup, the Vice President of Eastern Operations for LEHR. Jessup brings more than 15 years of experience in vehicle upfitting and repair and currently oversees LEHR’s operations across the Eastern United States. He will lead the integration of the ProLogic ITS upfitting operations into LEHR’s national network, working alongside the location’s existing technicians and sales team, who will remain in place to ensure continuity.

Anshar Labs Acquires Dealer World, Expanding Drivvr AI into Automotive Retail

Eighteen-year automotive marketing agency leader joins Anshar Labs’ AI portfolio; Dan Moore appointed CEO of Drivvr AI

CHICAGO, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Anshar Labs today announced it has acquired Dealer World, an established automotive marketing and dealer solutions company, and positioned it under Drivvr AI LLC, the firm’s automotive technology company. The acquisition brings 18 years of dealer relationships and industry expertise into Anshar Labs’ portfolio of AI-driven software businesses. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Dan Moore has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Drivvr AI. Moore joined Dealer World three years ago and previously helped build VistaDash through two successful exits. He will lead Drivvr AI’s strategy, product development, and go-to-market operations, with Dealer World continuing as the company’s automotive marketing product.

The acquisition reflects a thesis Anshar Labs has pursued across industries: that the highest returns from artificial intelligence come not from building AI products in isolation, but from applying deep engineering capability to businesses that already own real customer demand and domain knowledge. Automotive retail, a sector where dealers manage fragmented technology stacks while competing on speed of customer response, presents exactly that opportunity.

“We look for businesses where AI can do something meaningful rather than something impressive, and Dealer World is precisely that. Eighteen years of dealer trust is not something you can engineer or acquire cheaply, and it is the hardest part of this equation to build. What we bring is the other half. Our engineering discipline applied to an industry that has been promised transformation for years and is finally ready to receive it. Dealer World fits directly into where Anshar Labs is going, which is toward operating companies where our AI capability compounds against real demand, not against a pitch deck. We could not be more excited about what this team has built and what we will build together.” Pinaki Saha, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Anshar Labs

Dealer World was founded 18 years ago by Troy Spring, who built the company into a full-service automotive marketing organization serving dealerships nationwide. Spring will depart following the transaction. Under Drivvr AI, the Dealer World brand and its client-facing teams will continue operating without interruption, with existing contracts, pricing, and service levels unchanged.

“The opportunity in front of us is larger than anything I have been part of. Dealerships today are drowning in tools that promise more leads and deliver more noise. What they need is not another dashboard. They need intelligence that ties the whole operation together and closes the gap between a customer raising their hand and a person actually helping them. Every hour in that gap is a deal lost to someone else. With Anshar Labs’ engineering behind us and eighteen years of knowing exactly what dealers need in front of us, we can finally build the thing this industry has been waiting for. That combination, real demand on one side and real engineering on the other, is rare. We intend to move fast.” Dan Moore, Chief Executive Officer, Drivvr AI

Drivvr AI will develop AI-driven products across marketing, customer engagement, and dealership operations, layered onto the services Dealer World clients use today. The company will be present at Ai4 2026, taking place August 4–6 at The Venetian in Las Vegas.

About Drivvr AI

Drivvr AI LLC is an automotive technology company building AI-driven software for dealerships. The Dealer World brand is the marketing product inside Drivvr AI, which is a company in the Anshar Labs portfolio.

SCORETRACKER® LIVE Brings Pro Tournament Fishing Excitement to Anglers & Organizers EverywhereBUBBA® Expands Its Smart Ecosystem with New Connected ProductsCatch the Action Live at the MLF ICAST Cup, July 14 in Kissimmee, Florida

COLUMBIA, Mo. and BENTON, Ky., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BUBBA®, recognized as the official scale used by Major League Fishing (MLF), and renowned for its innovative Smart Fish Scales and mobile fishing app, together with MLF, the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, today announced the official consumer launch of SCORETRACKER® LIVE, making the same real-time tournament scoring technology used by MLF Bass Pro Tour anglers available to tournament organizers, competitors, and fans everywhere through the BUBBA® app. Originally introduced at ICAST 2025, and vetted through extensive beta testing and real-world tournament use, SCORETRACKER® LIVE is now available to consumers nationwide through the BUBBA® app.

SCORETRACKER® LIVE
For years, SCORETRACKER® has transformed professional bass fishing by allowing anglers to see every catch instantly reflected on a live leaderboard, fundamentally changing tournament strategy and competition. Now, BUBBA® takes that same thrill beyond the professional ranks, allowing anyone to organize, compete, and spectate using live tournament scoring. Tournament organizers can easily create and manage custom events through the BUBBA® app, competitors can follow their position in real time throughout the day, and fans can experience live-action tournaments from virtually anywhere. Compatible with BUBBA® Smart Fish Scales, SCORETRACKER® LIVE supports catch-weigh-release tournaments, traditional five-fish formats, big-fish competitions, and scholastic or neighborhood team events, creating a more connected and engaging experience for everyone involved. 

The BUBBA® app and Pro Series Smart Fish Scale have been used in more than 91,000 hours of live scoring and leaderboards for MLF events, including the Bass Pro Tour, making SCORETRACKER® LIVE the most extensively field-tested tournament scoring platform in competitive fishing. The result is a tournament platform that combines connected hardware, software, and live competition into one seamless experience.

Expanding the BUBBA® Ecosystem
The official launch of SCORETRACKER® LIVE marks another step in BUBBA’s expanding connected fishing ecosystem. At ICAST, BUBBA® is introducing the new BUBBA Pro Series Smart Bump Board, which integrates with the BUBBA® app to capture and record fish length, giving length-based tournaments more options to score competitor catches. BUBBA® will also showcase the new BUBBA Tournament Weigh Station, providing tournament organizers with a durable, professional-grade weigh-in solution when paired with any BUBBA® smart scale. Together with the BUBBA® Smart Fish Scale, the BUBBA® app, and SCORETRACKER® LIVE, these innovations create an integrated ecosystem that brings together the entire tournament fishing experience — connecting organizers, competitors, and fans through every stage of competition, from registration and scoring to live leaderboard updates and spectator engagement.

“I’ve fished tournaments for more than 40 years, and MLF’s SCORETRACKER® is one of the biggest changes I’ve seen in competitive fishing. It has transformed how anglers compete and how fans follow the action in real time. Recently, we hosted the Reese Big Bass Battle with nearly 500 anglers, becoming the first event to utilize the BUBBA® MLF SCORETRACKER® LIVE system and the new BUBBA Weigh-In Station. From registration and payouts to live leaderboards and event management, everything was managed in one place. More importantly, anglers and fans stayed engaged throughout the day as standings are updated instantly. SCORETRACKER® LIVE brings a new level of excitement, strategy, and professionalism to tournament fishing — whether it’s a major event or a local club tournament.” – Skeet Reese, MLF Pro Angler

SCORETRACKER® LIVE will make its official consumer debut on July 14 during the ICAST Cup presented by Major League Fishing at Big Toho Marina in Kissimmee, Florida. Competing teams will become the first consumers to experience the platform in live, catch-weigh-release, tournament competition while helping raise funds for Keep America Fishing. Throughout ICAST, attendees can also experience demonstrations of SCORETRACKER® LIVE, the BUBBA Smart Bump Board, and the BUBBA Tournament Weigh Station at Booth #5139. Additionally, MLF will host a SCORETRACKER® LIVE demonstration in Booth #4620 on July 16 starting at 4 p.m.
