Dealer Intelligence: Leading the Edge of Technology

PLANTATION, Fla., July 10 -- Dealer Intelligence, a software company specializing in Enterprise Information Management, Business Intelligence, and Work Flow Automation solutions for the retail automotive sector, has launched DI Suite, a seamless web-based reporting application that provides dealerships and corporate management with multi-dimensional Real-Time access to their entire organization's key operational and financial data for superior Business Performance Management. The application is focused on dealer groups that need to automate and streamline the process of raw data collection for the use of reporting and analyzing of critical information. DI Suite consolidates and standardizes the data for the benefit of increased profitability, cash flow, enhanced compliance and better internal controls.

Derek Hodes, VP of Sales and Marketing for Dealer Intelligence, states, "We find that most dealership personnel spend 30 percent or more of their time collecting, processing, reporting, analyzing, or interpreting data originating from multiple dealer management systems and other information sources scattered across the company. Whether it's part of the work flow process or a byproduct of key business information it all leads to lost productivity, untimely information, and unrealized profit opportunities."

DI Suite brings the retail automotive sector easy-to-use yet sophisticated technology that transforms raw data using robust business intelligence software combined with exceptional experience and a proven track record in the Retail, Financial and OEM automotive industry. With the power to bring it all together through a multi-dimensional system, DI Suite delivers across dimensions never before possible.

"Paying close attention to the consolidators and mega-dealer groups impacting the overall industry, new levels of sophisticated tools are required to run the business. The days of trying to manage the business with manual logs, old-fashioned paper processes and basic spreadsheets are over. An easy- to-use web-based enterprise-level platform that transcends across the organization is what this industry needs now and we're ready to deliver that solution," says Leon Hughes, Director of BI for Dealer Intelligence.

Dealers using the suite have already realized an increase in profits, cash flow, greater returns and enhanced compliance measures -- key areas any top executive is sure to find critical to managing the business.

"In the first four months of implementation our dealer group increased its net cash position by over $4 million, lowered its Contract In Transit days from 14 to inside of 6 days across the board and decreased the average monthly aggregate Floor Plan expense by over $50 per vehicle -- which is estimated to save $250,000 annually to the group," says Erik Day, CFO for Warren Henry Automobiles, a large luxury import dealer group in Miami, FL.

"Moving our business into the 21st century with Dealer Intelligence, we've now automated all of our manual logs and have complete views of both Sales and Accounting information that tie directly to our general ledger. This change has reduced our workload tremendously ensuring our day-to-day work flows continue to operate as efficiently as possible," says Jorge Rodriguez, Centre Manager at Land Rover North Dade in Miami, FL.
