DealerScope Software
Announces Release of DealerAlert 4.0
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, August 20, 2004 - DealerScope Software, LLC announced
today, the newest release of DealerAlert (formerly known as "Silent Partner").
The newest release of the company's flagship product contains 6 new alerts, but
the major benefit to its customers is the innovation of a no-hardware-required
solution.
"We came up with a way to
transmit alerts out through the Dealer's business system to DealerScope's data
center in an encrypted format. E-mails are then assembled and sent to the
Dealership", said company co-founder Jay Alosa. "With the elimination of
hardware, communication is approaching 100% reliable".
In 2002, DealerScope unveiled
Silent Partner. Earlier this year, Silent Partner was renamed "DealerAlert" to
more accurately describe the product. DealerAlert is a unique software program that radically
changes the way information is retrieved and reviewed from dealers? business
systems.
"[DealerAlert] provides real-time information that is analyzed, filtered and
then delivered to you wherever you are", said David Schneider, the
company's other founding partner. "With its smart technology, Silent Partner can
reduce stacks of paper into a single "Alert" containing only the pertinent
information.
Alerts are different from traditional management reports in four areas: They are
intelligent, real-time, proactive, and multi-company."
Company Information
DealerScope Software is located in Concord, NH and provides software and
consulting services to the car and truck dealership industry. Their web site is www.dealerscopesoftware.com

DealerScope Software Debuts Real-Time Management Alert System for Car &
Truck Dealers
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, June 19, 2002 - DealerScope Software, LLC announced
today, the unveiling of Silent Partner; a unique software program that radically
changes the way information is retrieved and reviewed from dealers' business
systems.
"Silent Partner provides real-time information that is analyzed, filtered and
then delivered to you wherever you are", said David Schneider, one of the
company's founding partners. "With its smart technology, Silent Partner can
reduce stacks of paper into a single "Alert" containing only what you are
looking for."
Alerts are different from traditional management reports in four areas: They are
intelligent, real-time, proactive, and multi-company.
Intelligent Filtering
Silent Partner analyzes the dealer's business transactions for them using
industry standards or the dealer's own parameters. "Filtering out
'normal' business helps the dealer focus on areas that need attention,"
Schneider said. "The bottom line is that our Alerts are concise and
focused."
Real-Time Analysis
As business occurs throughout the day, Silent Partner searches for transactions
that fall outside the dealership's parameters. When an exception is found, an
Alert is immediately sent. Dealers and managers benefit from knowing what is
happening as it happens, rather than waiting until the end of the day - or even
month - for pertinent information.
Proactive Delivery
Silent Partner turns current information retrieval on its head by reaching out
to the dealer instead of vice-versa. Dealers no longer have to wait for someone
else to run and analyze reports for them. Alerts are delivered to them wherever
they are via Internet e-mail, FAX, pager, cell phone, or PDA. Alerts that are
delivered by e-mail contain links to on-line dealer management articles,
frequently asked questions (FAQ), and help tips.
Multi-Company
Silent Partner can monitor one or more dealerships at a time using individual
parameters, or can be set to use the same parameters across all locations.
Alerts delivered by e-mail are color-coded by company for legibility, and
grouping similar product lines in the same Alert can help make comparisons more
meaningful. "Our dealers have found a tremendous benefit in comparing the
content of Alerts in a multi-store chain." Schneider added, "At a glance
they can tell which stores are operating well and which ones need
improvement."
Continued Evolution
Alerts are modular in nature, and there is no limit to the number that can be
developed. "As dealers become aware of the capabilities of Silent Partner,
they may come up with ideas we haven't thought of yet", said Schneider.
"Dealers are a creative bunch of people, and they know what they want to see.
If it is meaningful, measurable, and the raw data is available, we can develop
and deliver new Alerts in a very short period of time. In addition to the more
than two dozen existing Alerts, if a dealer or group requires something unique,
we can work with them to develop custom Alerts."
Dealer Feedback
DealerScope ended its beta test period of Silent Partner in May, signaling its
general availability for most ADP business systems. "Silent Partner provided
our beta testing dealers with immediate value. The Alerts were brutally honest
and as the first few e-mails arrived, even the most seasoned dealers received
some eye-opening information", Schneider went on to say. "Two of our beta
dealers learned about problems they never knew they had, resulting in policy
& procedure changes on the very first day we installed Silent Partner."
Based on their feedback, ROI is estimated at just two months. "We look forward
to spreading the word about Silent Partner and showing dealers how they can
increase their bottom line and decrease their problem areas by reading a few
e-mails each day."
