CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. – Booth #320, NADA—Auto/Mate Dealership Systems (http://www.automate.com) announced today a 20% increase in new auto dealer clients in 2011, along with a record number of new installations. The dealership management system (DMS) provider also announced that the franchises with the highest rate of growth in switching to Auto/Mate’s DMS solution in 2011 were Ford, GM and Toyota dealerships.

Auto/Mate’s President and CEO Mike Esposito attributes the company’s growth to the overall value equation of the software as well as Auto/Mate’s experience with hundreds of DMS conversions. “Our technical team’s expertise makes the data conversion process less painful and less impactful on productivity than it ever has been before,” says Esposito. “When dealers compare us to other DMS providers, the amount they get from a standpoint of user-friendly software, functionality and customer service adds up to being the best value for the money.”

Additionally, Auto/Mate’s Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS) software is fully integrated with the dealer communications systems (DCS) of Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Honda, Subaru, Kia, Hyundai, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Audi and Mitsubishi.

Fully integrated solutions enable more dealer franchises to choose between several cost-effective DMS solutions.

 AMPS is a robust DMS with more than 20 modules to suit any size dealership. Dealers get all of the tools they need to effectively and efficiently manage store operations, including Sales, F&I, Fixed Operations, Accounting, CRM, and Fleet Sales. AMPS can be purchased and paid for on a month-to-month basis, eliminating the need for long-term contracts that often contain hidden charges; excessive third party DMS integration expenses and mandatory upgrade fees. AMPS is offered as both an in-house and ASP solution.

Auto/Mate makes continuous improvements to AMPS and customers receive every upgrade FREE for life. To see a demonstration of AMPS, please visit Booth #320 at NADA or schedule an appointment here: http://www.automate.com/nada.html
