Monro / Mr. Tire Rolls Out Aftersoft Network's VAST Enterprise POS at Thirty New Tire Stores

ALLENTOWN, Pa., Nov. 2, 2009 -- Aftersoft Network N.A., Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aftersoft Group, Inc (OTC:ASFG) (BULLETIN BOARD: ASFG) , a leading provider of business automation and ecommerce solutions for the automotive aftermarket, is pleased to announce that Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. has successfully deployed the VAST Point of Sale software into thirty new tires stores, as a result of their recent acquisitions.

Monro has now grown to 784 company owned stores. Recent acquisitions include twenty-six Autotire Car Care Centers in St. Louis, Missouri and four Midwest Tire Centers in Indiana. Monro also operates tire stores under the brands, Mr. Tire and Tread Quarters Discount Tire.

"VAST POS is very easy to learn and use," says Burt August, Jr., Director of Information Technology at Monro. "This enables us to quickly train store personnel on a new POS system, convert the prior customer service history, and be up and running on our VAST system right after we make an acquisition."

"VAST supports our tire selling efforts with built in pictures of the tires that we sell, and shows the features and benefits of each tire line. On the service side, the integrated parts catalogs, labor guide, and factory scheduled maintenance databases, help our service writers quickly create estimates for required and preventative maintenance."

Monro has been using Aftersoft's POS software since 1987. "It is not often that a relationship with a software vendor can last for over twenty years, and that is a credit to Aftersoft's dedication to invest in enhancing the product and their attention to customer service. We are happy with the stability, accuracy, capability, and revenue enhancing features of the VAST POS software," adds Mr. August.

"Monro / Mr. Tire has grown tenfold since they first implemented our software and we are proud to have such a progressive organization as a client," comments Ian Warwick, CEO of Aftersoft Group. "Monro is the largest chain of company operated undercar care facilities in the United States and is growing in the tire sector. We look forward to continuing to work together to further enhance the VAST POS software to support their growth efforts and increases in market share."
