ALBANY, N.Y. – September 23rd, 2013 – Auto/Mate Dealership Systems (http://www.automate.com) announced today that its AMPS Dealership Management System (DMS) is fully integrated with ELEAD1ONE (www.elead-crm.com), a leading provider of virtual BDC, CRM and retail solutions to auto dealerships. Auto dealers using Auto/Mate's DMS can benefit from having real time, bi-directional data update contacts in both the DMS and ELEAD CRM, streamlining the sales process.

“The more vendors integrate with each other, the greater cost savings and efficiencies dealers can achieve,” said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate. “We’re thrilled to provide our customers with another quality choice when it comes to CRM vendors.”

Prospect information entered into the ELEAD CRM system is instantly and securely updated in Auto/Mate’s DMS, while any changes made in the DMS are immediately updated in the CRM. This real-time integration eliminates redundancies compared with data exchanges performed via batch deliveries. Bi-directional data delivery allows for better customer communications, helping to build loyalty and revenue opportunities.

"We strive to ensure that our clients will be integrated with their DMS provider of choice and are excited to offer those clients who use Auto/Mate's DMS this bi-directional integration option,” said Bill Wittenmyer, partner of ELEAD1ONE, a division of Data Software Services, L.L.C. “Auto/Mate's integration process was very open and quick. It is a pleasure to form this relationship with such a reputable and professional company.”
