(OTCBB:AUTM), a leading provider of point-of-purchase marketing and communication services to the automotive industry, announced today that it has officially launched ContactAuto(TM) 2.0, an enhancement to its state of the art, wireless capable, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
    The launch took place at this weekend's NADA convention in Las Vegas, amid questions and heavy interest from the convention's visitors of avid car-enthusiasts.
    "Our goal was to add some of the latest technological advances to the existing ContactAuto system to maintain our lead in the wireless CRM market," stated Mark Silverman, Business Manager, ContactAuto. "Looking at the completed product, I would say that we have succeeded in spades."
    A few of the new features added to ContactAuto 2.0 are: an integrated e-mail application for users to receive and respond to e-mail without having to leave the ContactAuto system, the ability to search past or new leads or e-mails by simply typing in a keyword of the car of interest, and reports that give users the ability to graph the number of leads sent into the system by each car-buying site they are affiliated with and the end results of the customer interaction.
