Auto/Mate Integrates With Infiniti’s Dealer Communication System
Infiniti dealers using Auto/Mate's DMS can now enjoy a seamless communication path with their manufacturer and the flexibility to adopt third-party applications.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced Monday that it has successfully installed a new Infinitinet system, which replaces the legacy Infinitinet AS400 DMS and provides integration to Infiniti’s new Dealer Communications System (DCS). Infiniti dealers using Auto/Mate's DMS can now enjoy a seamless communication path with their manufacturer and the flexibility to adopt third party applications.
Infiniti dealers have relied exclusively on the legacy Infinitinet for their DMS and DCS requirements since 1989. Auto/Mate has blazed the trail to complete development, testing, and installation of the new Infinitinet, which will enable sunset of the legacy Infinitinet architecture, officials said.
"We have been working closely with Infiniti to ensure that the migration to the new Infinitinet utilizing the Auto/Mate DMS proceeds smoothly, and additionally that the rollout of their new DCS goes flawlessly," said Mike Esposito, President and CEO of Auto/Mate. "We are excited to be leading the effort to enable Infiniti dealers to migrate to the new Infinitinet and believe that the Auto/Mate DMS in combination with Infiniti’s new DCS provides the benchmark for reliability and functionality at a compelling price point."
Infiniti's new DCS is the electronic pipeline through which the factory and dealers exchange data on sales, inventory, service, parts, warranty claims and other operating functions.
