Auto/Mate Dealership Systems recently enhanced its product offering aimed at streamlining the sales process and improving the workflow of sales managers, F&I managers and office clerks.

The company released Deal Closeout, a new feature in the Desk/Mate Module of its dealership management system (DMS). Desk/Mate users can now work and close deals all in one module.

“In most dealership management systems, the process of working a deal involves jumping around several different screens or programs. Deal Closeout simplifies that process so it can be performed all in one place, saving employees a significant amount of time,” said Mike Esposito, president and chief executive officer of Auto/Mate Dealership Systems.

The release of Deal Closeout will sunset Auto/Mate’s F&I Billing Module, a separate application in which F&I managers manually closed deals and posted them to accounting. Eliminating this extra step saves valuable minutes per deal and expedites the posting of deals to accounting, according to the company.

Auto/Mate Dealership Systems highlighted Deal Closeout comes equipped with enhanced security permissions that can provide system administrators more control over which employees can access and/or make changes to a sold or closed deal. An audit log keeps records of which employees closed deals and when.

Deal Closeout is available to all new customers at no additional cost. The new feature is currently being rolled out to Auto/Mate’s existing customers.
