DAYTON, Ohio -- Reynolds and Reynolds announced that General Motors Dealers in the U.S. and Canada representing more than 80 stores have signed contracts to deploy the GM Integrated Dealer Management System (IDMS) from Reynolds.

GM IDMS from Reynolds is built on the REYNOLDSYSTEM™, and provides accounting, sales, F&I, parts and service functionality. GM announced its selection of Reynolds in January as an IDMS provider to GM Dealers in the U.S., including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, HUMMER, Pontiac and SAAB brands. GM also selected Reynolds as the IDMS provider for Saturn Retailers in the United States, to begin in late 2007.

Marty Raymond, GM director of Global Retail Programs, said, "We are encouraged by the adoption we have seen of the GM IDMS from Reynolds. Its deployment to date is fulfilling GM's goal of leveraging the capabilities of IT suppliers to help strengthen dealer relationships by making it easier to do business with GM. These tools will also deliver greater flexibility to facilitate vehicle orders, manage vehicle and service parts inventories and, above all, sell GM cars and trucks."

Cathy Orrico, Reynolds' vice president for OEM Solutions, said, "This milestone acknowledges the spirit in which this solution was developed. It is a GM solution, designed by GM Dealers, for GM Dealers. The many GM Dealers who have endorsed the initiative by selecting IDMS to help run their business support our belief that our customers are the boss. The early level of acceptance confirms the significant progress GM and Reynolds have made toward fulfilling GM's vision of simplifying and improving technology management."
