Albany, N.Y. – September 12th, 2016 – Auto/Mate Dealership Systems today announced the integration of its dealership management system (DMS) with Traffic Control's customer relationship management (CRM), Internet lead management (ILM) and employee activity management (EAM) systems. Dealers using both Auto/Mate and Traffic Control solutions will benefit from the enhanced sales, lead and productivity management capabilities available due to real-time data exchanges. 

"Traffic Control's employee activity management system takes CRM and ILM functionality to another level, because it gives dealership employees both a destination and directions on how to get there," said Mike Esposito, President and CEO of Auto/Mate Dealership Systems. "Employees are assigned specific tasks so their productivity has a purpose, instead of just doing busywork that doesn't get results."

"Auto/Mate's integration process is very affordable which is great because we don't have to pass high integration and certification costs through to our dealer customers," said Brendan Hurley, Traffic Control's founder. "We share Auto/Mate's roots: we are car people," said Hurley, himself a dealer since 1983. "The familiarity and ease that dealers experience using Auto/Mate is shared by Traffic Control users."

Traffic Control's CRM and ILM systems offer every feature that most dealers expect, and more. EAM allows dealers to assign activities to employees based on pre-set criteria. At the start of every day every employee has a task list, a personal calendar and appointment book, and a constantly updated list of their current opportunities. Additionally, specific phone scripts or call tracks pop up on their screen, while Tell-U-Phone™ confirms all inbound and outbound calls. 

Auto/Mate's dealership management system, Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS), is a comprehensive solution offering robust functionality for any size dealership or auto group. AMPS is intuitive, easy to use and provides dealers with advanced reporting capabilities along with the best customer service in the industry.
