DealerScope Software Debuts Real-Time Management Alert System for Car &
Truck Dealers     


 

CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, June 15, 2002 - DealerScope Software, LLC
announced today, the unveiling of Silent Partner; a unique software
program that radically changes the way information is retrieved and
reviewed from dealers' business systems.

 

"Silent Partner provides real-time information that is analyzed,
filtered and then delivered to you wherever you are", said David
Schneider, one of the company's founding partners.  "With its smart
technology, Silent Partner can reduce stacks of paper into a single
'Alert' containing only what you are looking for."

 

Alerts are different from traditional management reports in four areas:
They are intelligent, real-time, proactive, and multi-company.

 


Intelligent Filtering


 

Silent Partner analyzes the dealer's business transactions for them
using industry standards or the dealer's own parameters.  "Filtering out
'normal' business helps the dealer focus on areas that need attention,"
Schneider said.  "The bottom line is that our Alerts are concise and
focused".

 


Real-Time Analysis


 

As business occurs throughout the day, Silent Partner searches for
transactions that fall outside the dealership's parameters.  When an
exception is found, an Alert is immediately sent.  Dealers and managers
benefit from knowing what is happening as it happens, rather than
waiting until the end of the day - or even month - for pertinent
information. 

 

Proactive Delivery

 

Silent Partner turns current information retrieval on its head by
reaching out to the dealer instead of vice-versa.  Dealers no longer
have to wait for someone else to run and analyze reports for them.
Alerts are delivered to them wherever they are via Internet e-mail, FAX,
pager, cell phone, or PDA.  Alerts that are delivered by e-mail contain
links to on-line dealer management articles, frequently asked questions
(FAQ), and help tips.


 


Multi-Company


 

Silent Partner can monitor one or more dealerships at a time using
individual parameters, or can be set to use the same parameters across
all locations.  Alerts delivered by e-mail are color-coded by company
for legibility, and grouping similar product lines in the same Alert can
help make comparisons more meaningful.  "Our dealers have found a
tremendous benefit in comparing the content of Alerts in a multi-store
chain."  Schneider added, "At a glance they can tell which stores are
operating well and which ones need improvement."

 

Continued Evolution

 

Alerts are modular in nature, and there is no limit to the number that
can be developed.  "As dealers become aware of the capabilities of
Silent Partner, they may come up with ideas we haven't thought of yet",
said Schneider.  "Dealers are a creative bunch of people, and they know
what they want to see.  If it is meaningful, measurable, and the raw
data is available, we can develop and deliver new Alerts in a very short
period of time.  In addition to the more than two dozen existing Alerts,
if a dealer or group requires something unique, we can work with them to
develop custom Alerts."

 


Dealer Feedback


 

DealerScope ended its beta test period of Silent Partner in May,
signaling its general availability for most ADP business systems.
"Silent Partner provided our beta testing dealers with immediate value.
The Alerts were brutally honest and as the first few e-mails arrived,
even the most seasoned dealers received some eye-opening information",
Schneider went on to say.  "Two of our beta dealers learned about
problems they never knew they had, resulting in policy & procedure
changes on the very first day we installed Silent Partner."  Based on
their feedback, ROI is estimated at just two months.  "We look forward
to spreading the word about Silent Partner and showing dealers how they
can increase their bottom line and decrease their problem areas by
reading a few e-mails each day."
