ALBANY, N.Y. — Auto/Mate Dealership Systems' dealership management system (DMS) is now fully integrated with Superior Integrated Solution's Darwin Automotive F&I platform. Dealers using Auto/Mate's Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS) now have direct access to Darwin's patented F&I solution.
With both systems fully integrated, all data entered into the Darwin F&I application is instantly and securely updated in Auto/Mate’s DMS, and any changes made in the DMS are reflected in the Darwin F&I application in real time.
"Darwin takes the details from each deal, vehicle and customer financial situation to determine what the ideal presentation will be for that customer," said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate Dealership Systems. "In today's customer-centric world, this type of prescriptive selling is necessary to improve and speed up the typical car-buying experience."
Jeff Stafford, chief marketing officer for Darwin, added: "Auto/Mate's Open/Mate integration program makes it easy for vendors to integrate, as it is based upon open standards and there are no expensive certifications required. Additionally, Auto/Mate's team of technology experts is friendly, fast and professional."
