KUKUI • October 14, 2014

New location offers more space for growth, easy access to hotels, airport

San Jose, CA – Kukui Corporation, a developer of marketing software solutions for the automotive repair industry, has moved into new offices to accommodate employee growth. The new headquarters are located in the heart of Silicon Valley at 2077 Gateway Place, San Jose, CA, near the Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport and area hotels.



At xxx square feet, the new location is nearly double Kukui’s previous headquarters and offers capacity for as many as 100 employees. The office’s easy access to the airport and hotels will also make it easier for the company to host its annual trade show, which attracts automobile repair shop owners from around the country.


“This new office really represents the next step in Kukui’s evolution as a company. The location makes it possible for us to hire the staff we need to serve our growing client base and provides us with the capacity to become a valuable resource for the automotive service industry,” said Todd Westerlund, Kukui President and CEO.


Through its revolutionary software platform, Kukui is able to accommodate all of a service shop’s marketing needs – from website development to social media support to direct mail fulfillment. The company’s product suite includes smart web pages that are optimized to boost sales conversion rates, a simple-to-use Content Management System and customer retention tools such as email service reminders. The platform also offers detailed analytics to help shop owners determine which marketing channels are generating the most business.


In addition, each of Kukui’s clients is assigned a marketing success coordinator who provides technical support, project coordination and designs individualized market campaigns.
