Auto/Mate Integrates DMS With MaximTrak F&I Suite
The integration now provides users of both systems with a real-time, bi-directional exchange of information, eliminating redundancies and errors caused by incomplete information transfers.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Auto/Mate Dealership Systems has integrated its dealership management system (DMS) with MaximTrak Technologies' F&I Suite. Auto dealers using both systems may now benefit from a real-time, bi-directional exchange of information.
"Our Open/Mate certification is easy, inexpensive and fast for third-party vendors, lowering costs and expanding vendor choices for dealers," said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate Dealership Systems.
MaximTrak's F&I Menu Platform allows F&I managers to create custom menu presentations, including branded presentations with customer graphics and color design, navigate between screens, and present multiple deal scenarios with a flexible interface. MaximTrak also allows data to be saved as a presentation progresses, eliminating the need to re-type information.
"Our focus is on creating a better buying experience for the customers, which is accomplished by the professionalism and speed of our F&I menu and reporting solutions," said Jim Maxim Jr., president of MaximTrak Technologies. "Having our product suite integrated with a dealer's DMS eliminates redundancies and errors caused by incomplete transfer of information."
Auto/Mate's dealership management system received the "Highest Rated" DMS award in the 2012 and 2013 Driving Sales Dealer Satisfaction Awards, and is known for offering the best customer support in the industry.
Both Auto/Mate and MaximTrak are integrated with credit bureaus and offer easy-to-use reporting capabilities. For more information, visit Auto/Mate at www.automate.com or MaximTrak at www.maximtrak.com.
