INDIANAPOLIS--Jan. 3, 20050, 2005--Having focused on providing the industry's premier customer relationship management (CRM) solution since 1988, Autobase, Inc. is pleased to announce the creation of its first front office product suite.

The product suite includes the new Autobase Sales Center 6.0, the sixth generation of Autobase's proven CRM solution. Similar to its former versions, Autobase Sales Center 6.0 features interactive logbooks, strategic business planners, targeted communication abilities, and dynamic reporting that empower dealers to increase sales, CSI, and market share. In addition to its core capabilities, new product features, broader integration, and additional CRM enhancements make the 2005 CRM offering one that dealers will want to investigate.

Also part of the front office offering is the all-new Autobase Loyalty Center. Newly-released and already manufacturer-endorsed for its innovative approach to business development, the Loyalty Center brings efficiency, productivity, and profitability to a dealer's call center. "We are excited to introduce the Loyalty Center at NADA 2005 and to show dealers how they will be able to find, market, and maintain more loyal customers," says Autobase CEO Scott Webber. "We are privileged to have already received endorsement by Mercedes-Benz USA for the Loyalty Center. Now we are ready to turn it loose at the market's largest annual trade show."

"The new products we have to share in 2005 are going to make it a great year for the auto dealer looking to drive his business forward," Webber continues. "By far, more dealers were added to the Autobase family in 2004 than in any year previous. With sizeable investment to fuel our progress and the anticipated release of new products, we are excited to see how the Autobase family of dealers will grow in 2005."
