ADP Delivers the Most Certified Choices for DaimlerChrysler Dealers

    HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.--Jan. 27, 2000--

    Leading supplier to DaimlerChrysler dealers offers more factory-dealer interfaces than any other D/C certified provider

    ADP(R) Dealer Services announced today it has become the only provider with multiple dealership management systems certified under DaimlerChrysler's Dealership Service Provider (DSP) program. The certification means that ADP's Alliance(TM) and Elite(TM) dealer management systems each have proven support of all of the 13 required interfaces with DaimlerChrysler's dealer communications system. The two systems also support many optional interfaces. ADP is a strategic supplier to more than 40% of DaimlerChrysler dealerships, more than any other provider.
    "We are the first to have more than one system certified to meet DaimlerChrysler's stringent requirements," said Mike Sailor, Vice President of Manufacturer Solutions and Consulting for ADP. "With our Elite and our Alliance dealer management system for small dealers, we offer more than 30 certified points of integration with DaimlerChrysler's dealer communications system, far more than anyone else," Sailor continued.
    "Chrysler has taken the lead in improving communications with its dealers by developing and implementing robust new interfaces," Sailor continued. "We will continue to lead in this program by supporting more existing interfaces and providing support for new interfaces as they are defined. We work closely with DaimlerChrysler to not just meet the minimum standards. but to offer innovative solutions that provide dealers with a competitive edge."
    One example is ADP's AutOrigination(R) solution which can save dealers tens of thousands of dollars on an annual basis by eliminating residual errors when electronically transmitting contracts back to DaimlerChrysler Financial prior to signing.
