Leading auto dealer core technology provider DataOne Software, a division of Dominion Enterprises, today announced an increase of 250 auto dealership clients in 2007, along with a 60% increase in revenues. The 47% growth in customers is more than the combined total of new business generated by the company since it was founded 8 years ago. The new clients include more than a dozen dealerships at the top of the Wards MegaDealer 100 list.
"Our partnership with Dealer Specialties and Dealerskins has had a significant impact on our expansion this past year," says Jock Pereira, Managing Director, DataOne Software. "Many dealerships are transitioning to self-serve inventory management or a hybrid solution of full and self-serve. Our software is designed to meet the self-serve needs of dealers and put them in complete control of their inventory at all times."
DataOne Software's core products include self-serve inventory management, lead management, pricing intelligence and SEO engineered web sites. The company's "Just Build It" philosophy enables DataOne Software to provide automotive dealerships with the exact technology needed to compliment on-the-lot services, enhance their existing Dealership Management System (DMS) and help drive sales.
DataOne Software regularly sends out proactive surveys to existing clients to insure complete customer satisfaction and help determine new product development paths.
"We've clearly hit the mark with our technology and service offerings, which give dealers the additional marketing tools they need to really succeed in this business," notes Pereira, who adds that the company is looking forward to continued growth and expansion in the year ahead.
