RideCache (pronounced “ride-cash”) is a brand new web application and service designed to help car enthusiasts and collectors digitally organize, manage and preserve everything they do to and with their vehicles. Previously only available to private collectors and a few select car clubs and organizations, RideCache is now broadly available and we are excited to be sponsors here at 6SpeedOnline.

RideCache helps you digitally organize, manage and preserve the following things for your vehicles:

• To-do and task lists for maintenance, repairs, restorations
• Wish lists for future modifications, upgrades
• Parts installed, in inventory or needed for the vehicle
• Papers associated with the vehicle
• Events where the vehicle has participated
• Unlimited pictures for all the above

Here are answers to a few common questions about RideCache:

“Why an app when paper/spreadsheet works just fine?” Well, the old school method really is just fine for some folks and that is OK – we don’t expect RideCache to be for everyone – but here are 10 ways we believe RideCache is superior to the old methods:

1. Your information is safe, secure and not prone to loss through fire, flood, decay, loss, etc.
2. Everything is in one place – to-do lists, maintenance records, important papers, part records, event records, notes and pictures – all in an organization system purpose-built for car enthusiasts
3. Easy to share with others if you choose – with fine grain privacy controls over who sees what
4. Easy to associate records of different types (ex: this paper is for this part that is associated with this task)
5. Easily searchable across multiple vehicles (ex: show me all of my batteries across all vehicles – boom, instant answer with info, receipts, pictures, etc).
6. Advanced features like notifications, designated managers, services, etc
7. Easy to transfer complete record to a new owner
8. Accessible from any internet connected device, anywhere at any time
9. A system that gets better over time as we add new features
10. And finally – we won’t own these cars forever, there will be a next owner. And the likelihood is that the next owner will be from the Millennial generation (or even younger). These next generation car enthusiasts have grown up with, expect, and value digital solutions and they will value your car more if you can provide them with a well built RideCache record.

“OK, I get it, but there are tons of car sites/apps out there – how is RideCache different?” Great question – here are several reasons why we built RideCache and why we think it is different. (read more on our blog here: http://blog.ridecache.com/2016/01/13...ther-car-site/ )

• Professional Tool, Not a Social Media Toy
  Being the best possible software tool for car enthusiasts and collectors is our primary goal, social is secondary (some of our users share nothing, keeping their RideCache fully private – that is OK).
• Robust Privacy and Security
  With RideCache, you can confidently build a COMPLETE digital record of everything associated with your vehicles (yes, even titles, loan docs, appraisals, etc) - all in one place and safe from theft, fire, flood or loss.
• Deep, Purpose-Built Feature Set for Enthusiasts
  Features to organize and manage tasks, wish lists, notifications, parts, paperwork, events and more. Notifications to monitor usage by time and/or mileage. Assigned managers to allow other trusted individuals access to help manage your account (Enthusiast/Collector levels only). And more.
• Services and Support
  For those who want a great RideCache for their vehicles but don't have the time, ability or inclination to build their own, we provide the RideCache Build and RideCache Valet services where our professionals will take your information and deliver a great RideCache for you.
• Subscription-based, Pay Service
  That is a good thing! It is about focus and development. Our focus is on you and your success and enjoyment as an enthusiast and collector. We spend all of our development dollars investing in ways to make your experience better - if we succeed and provide great value to you, we get paid.
  • No ads (except on the free version)
  • Not trying to sell you anything
  • Not trying to sell your car

“Sounds like a lot of work…” RideCache is a tool. And like all great tools – you have to use them to realize their value. Many of you are already doing the work to scan receipts, build spreadsheets, upload pictures, etc – so for you RideCache will be an easy transition and a welcome integrated solution. For those that are pure paper today – yes, it will take some work – but we believe the payoff is significant.

There are many that love organizing and documenting everything that is associated with their vehicles – it is part of their joy of owning special vehicles. These people will get great satisfaction in building and maintaining their RideCache. Finally, a demo is worth a thousand clicks! As I mentioned, we are happy Porsche owners ourselves.

• Here is a demo walkthrough of our own RideCache for our Porsche 981 Cayman S:

• Here is another nice video to give you an idea of how RideCache is used by a collector of some high-value classic cars. This customer took advantage of our RideCache Build service and had our team build out his RideCache from documentation he provided (as well as some phone interview time with our team).
