Albany, N.Y. – August 22nd, 2016 – Auto/Mate Dealership Systems today announced the integration of its dealership management system (DMS) with the award-winning Dominion Dealer Solutions’ Sales Center CRM. Dealers using both Auto/Mate and Dominion’s automotive solutions will benefit from enhanced customer insight expedited by real-time updates of customer, vehicle, service and deal information in both systems.

"In today's competitive and fast-moving environment, it's critically important for dealers to have accurate and actionable information when responding to customer inquiries and to leads," said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate Dealership Systems. "That's why it's important for the DMS and CRM to be integrated with bi-directional updates, as opposed to one-way data extracts delivered via batch deliveries."

“We’re excited to partner with Auto/Mate DMS to provide our mutual dealers with a low-cost, highly efficient integration,” noted John Hardacre, product manager for Dominion Dealer Solutions’ Sales Center CRM.  "The integration process was fast and inexpensive, helping keep our CRM solutions affordable for our automotive dealer customers."

Since 1998, Dominion Sales Center has been used by thousands of automotive professionals.  Its speed, ease of use and accountability tools make it a quickly adopted CRM tool.  Leads of virtually every type (showroom, internet, phone, service, etc.), are funneled into a single CRM system to drive processes and results in both fixed and variable operations.  In addition, Sales Center features campaign management and services to facilitate targeted marketing needs.

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.
