HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,
Aug. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- CDK
Global announced that it has officially become the technology
partner for the Inland Group. The company will provide a wide range
of solutions, including the CDK Drive Dealer Management System, to
all of Inland's stores across the United
States and Canada.
"CDK is committed to serving the needs of the trucking
industry," said Steve Larrimore,
vice president of CDK Heavy Truck. "As one of the largest and most
technologically advanced dealer groups in the industry, the
selection of CDK by Inland validates our direction and investment
in the solutions that benefit our clients. We look forward to this
partnership. Our team is ready to work with their entire
organization as they transition to CDK."
"I'm excited about our new business relationship with CDK," said
Bill Currie, president and COO,
Inland Group. "We performed an exhaustive search of all third-party
dealer business software providers and we feel strongly that CDK is
an ideal fit. Their commitment to the heavy truck and equipment
market, financial stability, professionalism and complete package
offering were key decision drivers. With over 1200 employees and 23
locations in both Canada and the
U.S., we needed a provider who could meet all our needs."
"Giving our customers a world-class service experience is our
number one priority," said Andrew
Johnston, executive vice president and CFO, Inland Group.
"When a customer comes into one of our dealerships, we want to
provide consistent, complete and accurate information at a moment's
notice. Inland prides itself on over 65 years of strong customer
relationships. That said, the expectation all of us have for the
speed of accurate information is growing and we did not believe we
could meet this expectation with our current business system. We
entered into this partnership with CDK because we believe they are
best positioned to help us meet these expectations now and into the
future."
In addition to the CDK Drive DMS, Inland stores will implement
other CDK products and services:
- Integrated telephony solutions
- Electronic filing of business documents using CDK Document
Scanning and Archiving
- ASP hosting and system maintenance
- Network and data security
- Hardware maintenance and support
