ADP(R) Dealer Services Launches Enhanced w.e.b.Suite2000 Solution at NADA 2004

Dealership-Proven Web-Enabled Business Solution With New Customizable Desktops And ADP Phone Network Integration

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Jan. 30 -- The next release of w.e.b.Suite(TM)2000, the dealership-proven, Web-Enabled Business solution relied on by hundreds of dealerships across the U.S. and Canada, is now available from the Dealer Services Group Of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. .

w.e.b.Suite2000 features several new customizable "desktops" that empower managers of various departments to access real time information to drive more productivity and increase customer satisfaction. This latest version is a continuation of ADP's evolutionary, next generation strategy with easier, GUI- based navigation.

  The new features of w.e.b.Suite2000 2.0 include:

   -- Unique Desktops for the Controller, Service Manager, and Service
      Technicians, and for Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable

   -- Wireless compatibility with Tablet PCs

   -- Web-based training by dealership function

   -- ADP Network Phone Integration

w.e.b.Suite2000 enables dealerships to manage and monitor important daily tasks with mission-critical, proven technology. Because of w.e.b.Suite2000's unique desktop design, a dealership can tailor each desktop to provide the information its management team needs -- from tracking no show appointments to managing special parts orders to ensuring cash available for accounts payable.

Dealers already using w.e.b.Suite2000 readily acknowledge the significant benefits of ADP's next generation of dealer management systems.

"In the past, I had to create and update a manual log of daily activities. But with ADP's w.e.b.Suite2000 I just click the mouse and get a wealth of information in real-time," said Mike Humphries, dealer principal of Humphries Auto World in Dover, Ohio. "Because I can see a snapshot of the entire dealership instead of a series of separate screens, ADP's w.e.b.Suite2000 makes me a smarter manager."

Mike Martone, president of ADP Dealer Services, believes w.e.b.Suite2000 is the ideal solution for higher volume dealerships seeking to sell more cars, parts and service.

"Our goal with w.e.b.Suite2000 is to assist dealers in running their businesses more effectively today and to strengthen the foundation upon which they can grow their business in the future," said Martone. "ADP's Web-Enabled Business Solutions are available today, giving dealers choice, power, and a strong return on their technology investment."
