by Staff
April 1, 20032 min to read
introduced the addition of the Dealer Compliance Assessment Program
(CAP) to their forms and supplies solution, Dealer Office Xpress
(DOX).
"This type of program is critical for the automotive industry,"
said Ted Valenti, ADP Dealer Services, vice president Imaging
Solutions. "At the 2003 NADA Conference, ADP showcased Dealer CAP as
part of its portfolio that would soon be available to dealers. While
there are other programs providing dealers with specific forms related
to compliance, this is the first time a comprehensive program has been
introduced. This is just another way DOX helps dealers sell more cars,
parts and service profitably."
According to the company, Dealer CAP was developed in cooperation with Whann & Associates,
an Ohio-based law firm specializing in representation of businesses in
the motor vehicle industry including dealerships, auto auctions, trade
associations and industry-related entities. Founder Keith Whann is
known throughout the industry for his legal expertise, and has written
numerous industry articles and conducted speaking engagements
throughout the country.
"Each day, there are changes to the legal requirements that affect
the automotive industry," said Whann. "Helping dealers stay up-to-date
with these changes results in more efficient operations and protects
the transactions the dealerships enter into with customers by
providing documents that contain appropriate and compliant language."
"Standard Register and ADP are committed to providing solutions
that help our customers improve their business results," said Frank
Costantino, area vice president, Midwest, Standard Register. "Dealer
CAP provides an integrated system of forms that helps the dealer
create a selling system for the dealership that is efficient, cost
effective, compliant and customer-focused."
