NEW YORK -

automotiveMastermind has been named a finalist for three 2017 Software-as-a-Service Awards’ in categories for Best User Experience, Best Data-Driven SaaS Product and Best SaaS Product for Sales and Marketing.

Now in its second year of recognizing innovation in software, the SaaS Awards program accepts entries from both the U.S. and across the globe.  

SaaS Award recipients in each category will be announced on Aug. 29.

“To be named a finalist in three categories is a great accomplishment and proves that the automotiveMastermind’s technology is helping to deliver the best results to our dealer partners,” automotiveMastermind chief executive officer and co-founder Marco Schnabl said in a news release.

automotiveMastermind’s proprietary technology analyzes customer, service and market data to predict consumer behavior and provide clients predictive analytics and marketing automation technology.

“Software as a service is the new standard. The global competition is incredibly fierce, with incredibly disruptive technologies shaking up the marketplace – and the dust is far from settled,” said SaaS Awards organizer Larry Johnson. “It’s a new playing field altogether, with providers constantly innovating to ensure their clients are always leveraging best-of-breed software services which are reliable yet still at the cutting edge.”

The SaaS Award is a new sister to the Cloud Awards, which are also organized by Johnson. The program was founded in 2011.

“The demand for technology that can increase profits and enhance customer experiences is growing at an incredible rate. The ultimate goal is to deliver software that is extremely intuitive, maximizes profits and streamlines outdated and cumbersome processes,” added Schnabl.
