Albany, N.Y. – February 1st, 2016 – Auto/Mate Dealership Systems (http://www.automate.com) today announced the integration of its dealership management system (DMS) with Scan123's electronic document management system. Auto dealerships using Scan123's solution can now store documents in, and retrieve documents from, Auto/Mate's Automotive Productivity Management Suite (AMPS) DMS. The integration helps auto dealers transition to a paperless environment, streamline workflow and comply with federal law.

"The ability to instantly retrieve information from a DMS allows employees to quickly answer inquiries from partners and customers, increasing productivity and customer satisfaction," said Mike Esposito, President and CEO of Auto/Mate Dealership Systems. "With a document management solution, your employees may never have to say, 'let me look that up and get back to you' again."

"Integrating our system with Auto/Mate's DMS was inexpensive and relatively easy due to the Open/Mate integration program, which is based on open standards," said Gordon Vavrek, Sales Manager with Scan123. "Integration with a top tier DMS provider allows us to expand our customer base and improve our service to our current customers that use Auto/Mate's DMS."

Scan 123's electronic document management solution delivers the following benefits to auto dealers:

• Increases productivity
• Backs up files
• Reduces filing costs associated with folders, filing cabinets and storage fees
• Restricts access to sensitive files with granular user permissions
• Allows secure access to files from anywhere using a 256-bit encrypted Internet connection

Auto/Mate's integration program, Open/Mate, is based on open standards so that third-party vendors can easily integrate with the DMS. Some DMS providers charge third parties expensive certification fees, and those vendors have no choice but to pass those costs on to their auto dealer customers. Auto/Mate's open integration program keeps integration costs low for vendors, saving auto dealers money while providing them with more vendor choices.

Auto/Mate's dealership management system, Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS), is a comprehensive solution offering robust functionality for any size dealership or auto group, advanced reporting capabilities, along with the best customer service in the industry.
