ALBANY, N.Y. — Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced the release of Deal Closeout, a new feature in the Desk/Mate Module of its DMS. Desk/Mate users can now work and close deals all in one module, streamlining the sales process and improving the workflow of sales managers, F&I managers and office clerks, executives said.

“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 CEO of Auto/Mate.

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. 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, all according to the announcement.
