About Automotive Intelligence
AI Automotive Incorporated, founded in 2024 by Blake Scruggs and Meg Lonon and secured by Wells Fargo, was launched to provide seamless, customer-centric merchant processing services and consulting specifically for the automotive industry.
Blake Scruggs
After attending The University of Tennessee, Blake began his sales career with Spaulding Sports Worldwide in Golf Sales and management. After a decade with Spaulding, Blake was recruited by Titleist. After 12 years in multiple sales roles at Titleist, he spent 2 years with Adidas-Taylor-Made before entering the Payments industry with Heartland Payments Systems. In 2008, he started NetPay Incorporated to provide top processing and gateway systems for customers with a goal of instituting best practices and a Gold standard of customer service in an industry where those qualities had not previously been a focus. AI Automotive is a natural progression to bring these strengths into an industry where technology is ever changing and advancing.
