Clifton Park, NY (PRWEB) May 28, 2008 -- Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced today that it has completed the integration of GM's Parts Workbench with its Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS). The new interface allows Auto/Mate dealer customers to quickly and easily place, access, track and modify GM parts orders via the Internet through the AMPS dealership management system.

"With almost half of a dealer's operating profits come from its service and parts department, getting a new service like this up and running as fast as possible is critical for our GM dealership customers." says Mike Esposito, president of Auto/Mate, who adds that this is one of several integration projects the company has been working on to keep AMPS 100% OEM compliant.

With almost half of a dealer's operating profits come from its service and parts department, getting a new service like this up and running as fast as possible is critical for our GM dealership customers.
