Quorum Information Technologies Inc.: GM Canada approves XSELLERATOR'TM' as an Approved Dealership Showroom and CRM Solution
MAY 1, 2006 - 12:21 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(CCNMatthews - May 1, 2006) -
XSELLERATOR Dealers do not need to use GM inTouch
Quorum Information Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:QIS) announced today that its XSELLERATOR
TM system has been officially approved by General Motors of Canada Ltd. (GMCL) as a GM Dealership Showroom and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Solution for its dealers. This decision by GMCL confirms that Quorum's XSELLERATOR Dealership Management System (DMS) provides the CRM functionality required by GMCL. Therefore, Quorum dealerships do not need to use GM's CRM technology application - GM inTouch. Quorum is the first DMS provider to obtain this approval from GMCL.
XSELLERATOR is a fully-integrated DMS and CRM system that has multiple "advanced" B2B integration points built into GM corporate systems.
"GMCL's CRM application called GM inTouch, combined with the APG Retail CRM process and skills training, has proven its value. GM inTouch stores working with APG have realized additional unit sales revenue in the last 12 months based largely on the lead conversion process and skills training APG has implemented in the dealerships," said Pat McEachern, President of Automotive Performance Group. "By offering GM dealers the opportunity to use Quorum's integrated CRM process and APG's Retail CRM process and skills training as an official, approved alternative to GMCL inTouch, GMCL is going one step further in providing Quorum dealers with the tools, business processes and training to maximize their XSELLERATOR system and to sell more cars."
"GMCL's approval of XSELLERATOR as a GM Dealership Showroom and CRM Solution is a great endorsement of XSELLERATOR's CRM and lead conversion capabilities. Quorum dealers can confidently utilize Quorum's built-in CRM tools, as an alternative to inTouch," said Maury Marks, President and CEO of Quorum. "We expect great results for our dealers and General Motors."
