DMS Provider AutoSoft International Adds 400th GM Dealer to GM Parts Workbench Interface

WEST MIDDLESEX, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
AutoSoft International, the third-largest dealer management system
provider and one of just four certified GM Integrated Dealer
Management System (IDMS) providers, said today it had completed its
400th GM dealership integration for GM Parts Workbench and is on
target to have all of its 600 GM dealership users added by month's
end.

GM Parts Workbench is a web-based General Motors communications
and parts ordering interface between dealers and the factory. It is
replacing a satellite-based system, GM Remote Automated Parts Input
for Dealers (RAPID). RAPID is being inactivated at the end of the
month.

AutoSoft was the prime developer for the GM Parts Workbench
integration software, which has since been released to other GM-IDMS
providers for work with their customers.

Steven Lust Automotive, a Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac, GMC
dealership in Aberdeen, SD, has participated in pilot testing of the
AutoSoft-GM Parts Workbench interface for the last 60 days. Jeff
Olson, parts manager, said the transition from RAPID to Parts
Workbench has been mostly seamless.

"AutoSoft has addressed any concerns immediately and has been
quick to rewrite code to ensure that Parts Workbench worked as
designed with GM," Olson said.

Not all functionality of the RAPID system will be available to GM
dealers at month's end, regardless of who their DMS provider, but is
expected to be by year's end. In the meantime, dealers will access the
few missing functionalities using the EPIC application in GM
DealerWorld.

"That's no big deal, as GM's DealerWorld portal is easily
accessible," Olson said, "but I'll be glad when Parts Workbench is 100
percent."

AutoSoft COO Charlie Profit said the company is on schedule to add
all of its 600 GM dealership customers to Parts Workbench by the
transition date.
