Auto/Mate is a dealership management system (DMS) software provider specifically designed for retail automotive dealerships. The company offers a comprehensive suite of integrated modules to help dealerships manage their day-to-day operations more efficiently and effectively.
Auto/Mate's roots can be traced back to Wang Industries, a well-known calculator and word-processing company that later ventured into computer manufacturing. In 1985, Wang contacted Steve Fullum, a college professor, to create a software program to help dealers calculate payments and do their accounting. This program, initially called MIS, became Auto/Mate a year later.
Auto/Mate's primary product is the Automotive Management Productivity Suite (AMPS), a comprehensive DMS that covers various aspects of dealership management, including:
In 2019, DealerSocket, a leading provider of automotive software solutions, acquired Auto/Mate. This acquisition gave dealers an integrated, connected platform of mission-critical software for dealerships.
Auto/Mate's company culture is reflected in its motto: "Designed By Car People For Car People™". This philosophy underscores their deep understanding of the automotive retail industry and commitment to creating solutions that truly meet dealership needs.The company also prides itself on its customer-centric approach, offering free training for life and 24/7/365 emergency support, indicating a strong focus on customer satisfaction and success.
By the time of its acquisition by DealerSocket in 2019, Auto/Mate had grown to over 200 employees and served a customer base of over 1,600 dealerships nationwide. This included clients that had been using the system since it was first marketed and sold by Wang.Following the acquisition by DealerSocket, the combined company supported more than 9,000 dealerships and well over 300,000 active users across its products.
