About Auto-IT
Auto-IT Pty
Ltd, with its head office in Australia, develops and markets retail
dealer management systems, servicing the automotive, trucking,
agriculture and construction equipment industries.
The
company was formed in 2000 as a result of a merger between two
respected dealer management software system suppliers, KGM
Management and Newmans Information Services - both veterans of the
DMS industry for more than 30 years. Auto-IT employs 80 staff and is
one of the two largest dealer management system suppliers in
Australasia.
Our experienced staff have been hand-picked from
the best available in the Information Technology and Retail
Dealership industries. Most have worked in dealerships in a variety
of roles, as well as in IT, software development, finance and
management positions.
Our clients’ success during the past
30 years has helped to drive our own business growth. Thousands of
users employ our software systems in locations as wide apart as
Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei,
Fiji, South Africa, Thailand and Mexico.
In South Africa we have a
strong team of committed individuals with real
world dealership experience. Our staff have held Financial
Controller, Service Manager and Parts Manager positions within large
franchised dealerships,
providing an unparalleled solution. This knowledge and insight
allows the team to clearly understand the financial reporting and
other key requirements of a dealership.
