Vitu Joins Auto/Mate DMS
Auto/Mate announced a new DMS integration with Vitu that should help dealers streamline tax, title, and registration processes.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Auto/Mate Dealership Systems has integrated its dealership management system (DMS) with Vitu, Motor Vehicle Software Corp. (MVSC)’s national electronic tax, title, and registration platform for automotive dealerships (known as “DMVdesk” in California).
Through its integration program, Open/Mate, Auto/Mate customers who use the Vitu platform can now perform processes in real-time — such as pull deal data, generate virtual reports of sale and, ultimately, temporary tags, executives said.
“Regulatory requirements are difficult to keep up with, but the Vitu platform makes it easy with new technologies that support the changing needs of state departments of motor vehicles and dealerships,” said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate.
“Integration with a top-tier DMS provider allows us to expand our customer base and help dealerships improve the efficiency of necessary, but time-consuming tasks,” said Joe Nemelka, president and COO of Vitu. “The integration process with Auto/Mate’s DMS was inexpensive, fast and painless.”
Auto/Mate customers can use the Vitu solution to streamline their registration and titling process for new and used vehicles. This platform makes it easy to identify and track title and status listings while providing transparency, accuracy and security. Additionally, Vitu ensures compliance during the full duration of a vehicle’s life. Vitu currently operates in California, Oregon, Illinois, Virginia, and Montana, all according to the announcement.
