ALBANY, N.Y. -

Two service providers perhaps already being leveraged at your store now are working together to help you turn more financed deliveries.

This week, Auto/Mate Dealership Systems integrated its dealership management system (DMS) with ProMax, a leading supplier of retail automotive CRM/ILM, desking, credit and compliance software.

The companies highlighted that dealers using both Auto/Mate and ProMax solutions can benefit from the enhanced sales, lead, marketing and productivity management tools available through real-time data exchanges between the two systems.

“ProMax is a proven, award-winning company that designs software to give dealerships a competitive edge in a demanding market,” said Mike Esposito, president and chief executive officer of Auto/Mate Dealership Systems.

“Additionally, ProMax provides a variety of services to help dealers generate, follow up and market to leads, as well as tools and training to close customers for a complete front-end solution,” Esposito continued.

Auto/Mate’s integration program, Open/Mate, is based on open standards, allowing third-party vendors to easily integrate with the DMS. The company said some DMS providers charge third parties expensive certification fees, the cost of which is usually passed onto their auto dealer customers.

Auto/Mate emphasized that its open integration program keeps integration costs low for vendors, saving dealers money while providing them with more vendor choices.

ProMax’s advanced lead tracking and CRM management tools can enable dealers to identify the best-performing lead sources, create targeted marketing campaigns and drive more customer traffic to the showroom. ProMax software solutions can streamline the vehicle-buying process for customers and improve sales team performance, leading to more deals.

“Auto/Mate customers that are used to a high level of customer service and support can expect the same stellar experience and ease of use with all of our ProMax solutions,” said Darian Miller, chief technology officer of ProMax.

“Additionally, we appreciate Auto/Mate’s low-cost integration process so that we don’t have to pass high integration and certification costs to our dealer customers,” Miller went on to say.
