JMsolutions & Quorum Sign Multi-Year Contract

Quorum Information Technologies Inc. and JMsolutions announced that they have signed a multi-year contract to integrate Quorum's XSELLERATOR(TM) dealership management system (DMS) and JMsolutions' AAX(TM) used vehicle inventory management system. This integration will provide Quorum dealerships with the option of extending their vehicle inventory management capabilities by utilizing the JMsolutions AAX system.

 AAX provides users with recommended vehicles - called "core" vehicles - to stock in their used vehicle departments. These vehicles are the proven winners for the dealership, selling faster and at a higher gross profit. Quorum dealerships benefit from having timely, data-backed knowledge of their stores' past success with vehicles as well as market data on which to base their pricing decisions. Similarly, AAX customers can take advantage of Quorum's XSELLERATOR DMS product to automate, integrate and streamline every department in their dealership.

 "We are excited about our new relationship and ability to support those dealers using the Quorum XSELLERATOR product," said Scot Eisenfelder, group vice president, JMsolutions. "A recent study we conducted revealed that stores following the AAX system's core vehicle recommendations are seeing combined average dealer profits and floor plan savings increases of just over $60,000 annually when they increase their core inventory percentage by as little as 10 percent."

Dan Ichelson, Quorum's VP Operations & Development said, "A corner post of our XSELLERATOR customer and dealership management suite has always been to provide dealerships with an integrated business process through the use of technology to drive efficiencies and help them be more competitive in today's challenging environment. Integration with AAX is a natural fit with this philosophy. Our dealers now have another sophisticated tool that they can employ in their environment and still maintain an integrated and effective process."

"We also believe that this is an opportunity for existing AAX customers who are interested in improving their entire operation to take a look at XSELLERATOR and see for themselves how AAX and XSELLERATOR together help take them to a new level," added Mark Allen, Quorum's VP Sales, Marketing and Services.
