ALBANY, N.Y. — Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced the integration of its dealership management system with Storm Kiosks Inc., a supplier of automotive express service kiosks for auto dealership service departments.
Auto/Mate’s DMS customers can now seamlessly access and monitor kiosk activity including drop-offs, pick-ups, promotional upsells, and trade appraisals, executives said.
