Clifton Park, NY – Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced a 17% increase in new auto dealer clients since end-of-year 2008. The company has seen a steady rise in new business throughout 2009 as a growing number of dealers move from expensive, legacy Dealership Management Systems (DMS) to more flexible, cost-effective DMS solutions like Auto/Mate’s Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS).

“Dealers have had a tough time this past year and are still looking for ways to cut expenses,” said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate. “We’re able to reduce their DMS costs by as much 75% and still provide all the system features they need to effectively manage their stores, as well as superior service and support.”

Auto/Mate’s Automotive Management Productivity Suite is a robust DMS with over 20 integrated modules to suit any size dealership. Dealers get all of the tools they need to effectively and efficiently manage store operations, including Sales, F&I, Fixed Operations, Accounting, CRM, and Fleet Sales.

AMPS can be purchased and paid for on a month-to-month basis, eliminating the need for long-term contracts that often contain hidden charges; excessive third party DMS integration expenses and mandatory upgrade fees. AMPS is offered as both an in-house and ASP solution.
