Managing resources will always get a big boost once automation comes in. And as far as the OEM interface in automotive management process, the implementation of the Automotive Management Productivity Suite by AutoMate makes life easier when it comes to invoices, statements, and related reports needed for internal business procedures.

“With GM’s new Parts WorkBench upgrade, we can provide the latest Parts Shipment Information to our GM dealers, and automate the vehicle invoice process,” says Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate. “The less time dealers have to spend on administrative tasks, the more attention they can put on sales.”

The GM Vehicle Invoice module lets dealers automatically receive vehicle invoices on any given day. Auto/Mate receives the invoices from GM electronically, and distributes them to the appropriate GM dealerships’ AMPS system, reducing data entry duplication and increasing efficiencies.

Consistency and efficiency is crucial in any business setting. And with this new automation in place, you can be that everything will soon be up to date and leave minimal room for potential errors.

In a move to help perk up the auto sales industry, the real snag when it comes to closing a sale is the credit verification process. But now, all that will be covered as VW Credit, Inc. (VCI), recently launched FinanceSource a partnership between VCI and Dealer Management System (DMS) providers to build applications for faster, more accurate credit application processes for dealers.

FinanceSource will create seamless integration between the VCI financing systems and the dealers’ DMS systems. By entering customer information into one user-friendly interface, data entry is simplified, reducing administrative paperwork and the possibility for error.

Credit application integration is the first installment of a suite of solutions to be built and launched via FinanceSource. Contract data validation and the ability to receive, approve and save funding documentation electronically will follow. Ultimately, improved cash flow and faster funding are anticipated results for dealers as they strive to maximize cost efficiency and customer service.
