Auto/Mate DMS
Auto/Mate DMS: Auto/Mate describes its DMS, now presented by Solera, as a system for franchise dealerships that want flexibility, performance and transparency. It covers inventory, sales, service, F&I, parts and accounting in one cloud-based interface, from a single rooftop to a multi-store group.

Sales teams see real-time inventory and pricing and use digital deal structuring. Service and parts share repair orders, inspections, parts availability and technician workload.
Reports are customizable for executives, managers and frontline staff. Tablets and phones reach key functions on the lot or in the lane.
The company's site lists fixed operations tools such as multi-point inspection, dispatch, service pricing guides and a parts module, described in the Auto/Mate Fixed Ops entry. Solera lists a second DMS, IDMS, under the DealerSocket brand.
A dealer reading older material should note the names in use: Auto/Mate, DealerSocket and Solera all appear. A store would ask which product it is being sold and which manufacturers it is certified with.
It would also ask about data conversion, training and contract terms. The category guide for dealer management systems lists a neutral checklist.
Get it in writing.
