Group 1 Automotive Achieves 98% Compliance Level in a Matter of Days Using Compli`s Pre-loaded "Red Flags" Legal Content

One of the Nation`s Top Five Dealership Groups Saves Time and Money Using
Compli`s DCMS to Automate Compliance with the FTC`s Red Flags Rules for Their
100 Stores
PORTLAND, Ore.--(Business Wire)--
Compli, the leading provider of on-demand dealership compliance management
software for U.S. auto dealers, today announced that the use of their Dealership
Compliance Management System (DCMS) by Group 1 Automotive in Houston, Texas, has
helped the dealership group adopt and automate their Red Flags compliance,
leading to a measurable 98% Red Flags compliance level over a period of less
than two weeks. Cost-effective, efficient, and equipped with comprehensive
reporting features, the Compli DCMS has proven to be the best solution for
reducing the cost of paper-based compliance and business processes; a capability
not only important during an economic slowdown, but one that can be leveraged
when vehicle sales return.

Group 1 Automotive, a Fortune 500 automotive retailer and one of the top five
dealership groups in the country, is faced with the challenge of managing best
practices, risk and liabilities across 100 locations throughout the United
States. Historically, each new legal requirement resulted in an extensive and
time-consuming effort to manage. With the most recent Red Flags requirements,
Group 1 Automotive leveraged its investment in the Compli system to rapidly
distribute its Red Flags Program, Policies, Trainings, and Incident Report Forms
and centrally monitored compliance across their entire dealership in real-time,
with clear dashboard reports.

"Within two weeks of the program rollout, we obtained 98% compliance with all
mandatory Red Flags compliance material and were able to print a detailed report
summarizing this activity for our Board of Director`s Meeting," said Brooks
O`Hara, VP Human Resources, Group 1 Automotive. "That is a level of efficiency
and clarity we had never been able to accomplish with paper-based processes."

Compli`s DCMS is an automated compliance solution that protects automotive
dealers from claims, fines and litigation while lowering overhead costs. The
system combines automotive legal content from subject matter experts like Hudson
Cook,LLP (sales and F&I) and Fisher & Phillips, LLP (Employment Practices), with
automated best practices, to create turn-key "Good Faith" compliance programs
that reduce liabilities and keep an individual`s bad acts from harming the
dealership. The Compli Red Flags Toolkit, prepared in conjunction with Michael
Benoit of Hudson Cook, LLP, is simply one of many compliance Programs included
in the comprehensive Compli content library.

"Though critically important, Red Flags compliance simply signifies adherence to
one more piece of a very expansive compliance puzzle. You don`t want to have to
attack each regulation with separate systems, processes, paper and manual
approaches. Compli clients use one platform and our extensive content library to
address compliance and business requirements across their entire organization.
Group 1 Automotive is a great example. They have completed their Red Flags
requirements, and now they will leverage the Compli system to address other
high-priority compliance and business process areas by employing different
content over the same efficient platform," said Lon Leneve, President of Compli.
"Our DCMS allows companies to demonstrate a `Good Faith` compliance effort, that
is they can cover compliance needs across their entire organization with one
process, and can document and report on their results at any point in time,"
Leneve concluded.
