DealerTrack Wins 2007 Dealers' Choice Award
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., April 9 -- DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. today announced that it has been named the recipient of the Diamond Award in the Desking Software category of the Auto Dealer Monthly 2007 Dealers' Choice Awards. The Diamond Award is the highest in the category. Desking is a process in which dealers structure the best deal and present the customer with different financing options to meet customer needs and their own profitability objectives.
"We at DealerTrack are honored to receive this prestigious award from Auto Dealer Monthly," said Raj Sundaram, Senior Vice President of Dealer Solutions at DealerTrack. "We believe that SalesMaker offers the richest functionality of any desking solution on the market, integrating sales, finance, inventory and desking to help dealers structure the most profitable deals. We are committed to providing our customers with innovative products and it is truly gratifying to see the positive effect our hard work is having within the automotive retailing industry."
The Award Process
This is the third year Auto Dealer Monthly has recognized the most highly regarded vendors, suppliers and finance companies in the retail automotive industry as voted on by dealers and dealership personnel. The survey provided dealers and their employees the ability to offer their collective selection of the top providers to the retail auto industry. Overall, 40 companies, all chosen by dealers and dealership personnel, were named winners in 19 distinctive categories of products and services, with nearly 3,500 votes cast per category. Ratings were gathered on the performance of the product or service, as well as the customer support and service from the provider, and the overall value compared to cost to the dealership. The complete list of winners, as well as any provider or finance company that rated higher than the group average score in any category can be found at http://www.autodealermonthly.com/2007DCA_winners.pdf.
This year is DealerTrack's first year in the Dealers' Choice Awards. The company made its presence known with its SalesMaker desking software, taking the top honors away from the previous two-time winner in that category.
