ALBANY, N.Y. – March 25^th, 2013 – Auto/Mate Dealership Systems (http://www.automate.com) announced today that Mike Esposito will be presenting a workshop at the 14^th Digital Dealer Conference & Exposition in Orlando, on May 9^th at 11:00 a.m. How to Increase Service Growth Through Auto Dispatching is aimed at dealers, general managers, fixed ops and service managers who want to increase efficiencies and gross profits in the service department.

“Making the transition from outdated, manual dispatching methods to automated systems can be very challenging,” said Mike Esposito, President and CEO of Auto/Mate. “Workshop attendees will learn the common pitfalls associated with this type of transition and how to avoid them.”

Additionally, Esposito will cover the three levels of service dispatching (manual, semi-automated and automated) and discuss the benefits achieved with each new level, such as increased service tech efficiencies, shop efficiencies and shop loading. Attendees will take away:

1. The thought process and technical process that dealers and managers need to go through to set up an auto dispatching system; i.e., how to define service tech skill levels, how to set up op codes, and most important, how to retrieve all this information from your existing system.

2. How to track and measure the improved efficiencies in the service department.

3. What doesn’t work, why it doesn’t work and how to avoid problems during the transition process.
