London, Ontario, December 11, 2009 - Autodata Solutions Company, a leading North American provider of automotive technology solutions and services, has been chosen by PBS Systems Inc. to power PBS Systems' Aristo Dealer Management System (DMS) with the most timely, accurate vehicle data available in the Canadian market. This will effectively equip dealers using the Aristo DMS with all the vehicle information needed to facilitate sales transactions from a single source.
Autodata Solutions will be providing PBS Systems with incentives and rebate data including current and regional customer cash, APR (annual percentage rate) programs, and postal code mapping data. In addition, PBS Systems will incorporate into their Aristo DMS Autodata's vehicle data including standard features, optional equipment, factory warranties and pricing for model years 1996 to present.
The information will assist dealers during sales transactions by eliminating the need for manual processing and enabling them to automatically present vehicles and detailed proposals to customers. Further, dealers can use the incentives and rebates information supplied by Autodata, through the Aristo DMS, to quickly generate payments and identify which programs are available for each vehicle on their lot.
"We felt it was important to integrate Incentives, Rates and Residuals into the Aristo sales process enabling our customers to maximize profitability in each sales opportunity," says Lynn McNeil, Senior Vice President of PBS Systems Group. "To do this, we wanted a partner we could depend on. Autodata Solutions has a well established name in the industry, giving us every confidence that our clients will receive the most accurate and timely information available."
