About ACS
Automotive Computer Services, Inc. was incorporated in
Delaware in 1992 and has done business as ACS since that time.
The name was very carefully chosen - although ACS sells computers
and software to automotive companies, more importantly, ACS
provides a service. ACS provides AcCeSs to all
dealership information.
From its inception, the long term goal of ACS has been to
develop an affordable, fully integrated, state-of-the-art computer
system for automobile dealers. In meeting this goal, ACS would
become the single source provider to automobile dealers for all of
their computing needs. ACS has never lost sight of this goal.
Even in 1992, the logical platform for such a system was a PC
network. Today, a mid-line server is more powerful than the
small mainframes and mini-computers available then. As a matter
of fact, workstations today have much more power than our original
servers, while servers are now capable of supporting hundreds of
users.
As ACS has designed and developed all of the software it sells,
all modules have the same look and feel. Automobile dealer input
and feedback has been essential to insure that the system is as
comprehensive as required, while remaining quite easy to learn and
use. The four most important aspects of the system are ease of
use, integration, complete history and plain paper forms.
Ease of use is important for turnover, as well as employee
morale. An easy system to master frees employees to focus on the
bigger picture, as well as giving employees the confidence to
excel in their jobs.
Complete integration means never having to input the same
information more than once. For example, the prospect
information entered in sales to receive a credit report will be
used in service after the sale; the sales desk knows a vehicle has
an open repair order and can even view the operations to see what
is being done; special order part availability as well as
accessories due information is displayed when a repair order is
opened. These are just a few simple examples of the total
integration provided by an ACS ACCESS system.
An automobile dealership is concerned with more than just the
current month. Quick and easy access to past data (vehicle
sales, ROs, invoices, POs, checks, accounting, and so forth)
should be included in any state-of-the-art system. The ACS
ACCESS system retains all information online for later
retrieval (viewing and/or printing). A single mass storage
device available today is sufficient to save many years worth of
data. This is just the first step toward a paperless office
environment.
ACS uses plain paper to print ROs and invoices with custom
logos. And, there are no per-copy charges. In fact, only F&I
forms and checks cannot be printed on plain paper. Remember,
with all of your history online, there may be no need to print
extra copies or even file copies.
As ACS continues to add enhancements and new developments, your
ACS ACCESS system will remain state-of-the-art for
years to come. Contact ACS
today to see how soon you can start saving thousands of dollars in
support and maintenance.
