Baltimore, MD (PRWEB) May 22, 2007 -- XIGroup, a division of Dominion Enterprises, announced today that it has received the NIADA (National Independent Automobile Dealers' Association) Preferred Provider designation for its web solutions designed to help independent automotive dealers sell more cars faster on the Internet. The Preferred Provider status applies to the XIGroup's four core offerings; including web site design, do-it-yourself inventory management, inventory marketing and Search Engine Marketing services.

Before awarding Preferred Provider status, NIADA conducts a thorough background check on each company, including an examination of financial statements and insurance records, and approves only suppliers that meet their exhaustive criteria. XIGroup is one of less than twenty companies to receive the designation to date.

"I am excited about our NIADA Preferred Provider status because we believe that it gives XIGroup tremendous credibility in the Independent market," said Brian Burns, General Manager of XIGroup. "Our web marketing solutions are among the most effective in the market and should give any of NIADA's 20,500+ members the opportunity to sell more cars on the internet."

XIGroup has been helping dealers sell cars on the internet since 1998. In 2007 the company released Inventory Accelerator, a comprehensive internet marketing solution that allows dealers to update inventory on third party web sites, as well as their own web site, from one central administration panel. A friendly user interface makes uploading photos and vehicle specs easy and fast, and the application includes an eBay Motors interface tool that allows dealers to send vehicles to auction with a few simple clicks.

XIGroup will demonstrate the power of Inventory Accelerator in Booth #625 at the NIADA Exposition, June 12th-16th in Nashville, TN.
