When asked if they plan to switch to another DMS provider when their contract is up, 100% of the Auto/Mate users surveyed said no.
"We couldn’t be happier with the NADA findings. Our goal is to provide dealers with the Best Software and Best Service in the DMS market. These results validate the work we’ve been doing to improve our customer service. While other vendors might be content with modest gains, we remain focused on improving our software and customer service and staying number one," said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate.
Auto/Mate recently reported a 17% increase in new auto dealer clients since end-of-year 2008, which the company attributes to the growing number of dealers moving from expensive, legacy DMS solutions to more flexible, cost-effective systems like the company’s Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS).
"We’re having our best year ever. These results are a real endorsement from our customers," said Esposito.
AMPS is an easy-to-use comprehensive DMS with over 20 integrated modules to help dealers more efficiently and effectively manage their business. It supports an unlimited number of users, workstations and printers, and can be implemented in any size dealership. AMPS is available as both an in-house and ASP solution.
