Reynolds and Reynolds Leads All Other Systems Providers in Serving DaimlerChrysler With Certified Systems

    DAYTON, Ohio--Jan. 18, 2000--The Reynolds and Reynolds Company announced today that its DaimlerChrysler certified ERA2 automotive retail management system is utilized by more DaimlerChrysler dealers than any other hardware/software platform in the market. Over 1,900 DaimlerChrysler retailers in the United States use Reynolds' ERA2 system.
    "The ERA2 system is the most widely used retail management system in the industry and the prevalent system used by DaimlerChrysler retailers. We're very proud to say we have far more DaimlerChrysler retailers on certified systems than any other system provider. The certification recognizes Reynolds' ability to deliver solutions supportive of DaimlerChrysler's strategic initiatives," said Jon Strawsburg, vice president, Franchise Solutions for Reynolds. "We are working closely with DaimlerChrysler on dealer IT initiatives, will maintain our certification as they raise the requirements, and expect to offer additional complementary services further supporting DaimlerChrysler and its dealers' business requirements," Strawsburg added.
    Reynolds' ERA2 is the number one ranked information management system in retailer satisfaction, according to Convergys, an international research company. An additional independent study has shown that ERA2 delivers significantly stronger financial results compared to other widely available systems -- over $200,000 in savings to the bottom line.
