Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced today its Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS) has been integrated with Hyundai’s web-based Dealer Communications System (DCS).

Clifton Park, NY (EMWNews) July 14, 2008 — Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced today its Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS) has been integrated with Hyundai’s web-based Dealer Communications System (DCS). The new interface allows Auto/Mate’s dealer clients to quickly and easily send financial statements, new vehicle delivery information, parts orders/parts returns and claims data directly from AMPS to Hyundai via the Internet.

“This new module streamlines several key Hyundai data submission processes for dealers,” said Mike Esposito, president of Auto/Mate. “We know that by increasing administrative efficiencies, we’re saving dealers time and money, which is why OEM compliance continues to be a major part of our DMS development path.”

AMPS Hyundai DCS interface features include:

• Financial Statements — Users can transmit end-of-month P&L statements and financial reports created in AMPS directly to Hyundai with a few simple keystrokes.
• Vehicle Delivery Reporting — AMPS transfers vehicle delivery data (Deal #, Buyer Name, Sale Date, Year and Model) directly to Hyundai from the system’s F&I Billing menu. Once a deal is sold or closed in the system, you can indicate one or multiple (up to 999 each transaction) vehicles as delivered to the customer. A message displays for each transaction successfully completed.
• Parts Order/Parts Returns — Allows parts orders and return data to be submitted from AMPS to Hyundai. When parts order data is entered, the interface displays the total parts requested, allowing users to choose which part orders to process. Includes option to add special instructions.
• Claims — Service System claims such as recall campaign, pre-delivery inspection, warranty, Hyundai protection plan, replacement part and transportation can be processed right from AMPS’ Service System Main Menu. Includes options for miscellaneous charges.

“Auto/Mate’s Hyundai DCS interface is a huge timesaver,” said Bonnie Wells, controller at Garvey Hyundai in Queensbury, New York. “Everything can be sent right from AMPS directly to the manufacturer, which eliminates the need for duplicate data entry.”

AMPS is an easy-to-use comprehensive dealership management system with over 20 integrated modules to help dealers more efficiently and effectively manage their business. It supports an unlimited number of users, workstations and printers. AMPS is available as both a cost-effective in-house and ASP solution.
