MTI Automotive pulls ahead in technology race with new dealer management system AUTOLINE

The AUTOLINE® system is known as the most efficient, fully integrated DMS for retail and commercial vehicle sales. Its facilities link dealers with manufacturers and importers covering parts, warranty, service, vehicles and finance.

"This is a step into the future for the entire luxury car industry," said MTI's General Manager Ahmed El Gharib. "We at MTI are proud to be taking it. We are setting an example for the rest of Egypt's dealers."

With AUTOLINE®, MTI will be able to streamline its customer service operations. The program makes servicing vehicles and custom-ordering them according to a buyer's specific requests easier. It is meant to cut procedure time in half, which, in turn, could give customers added control over their vehicle's options and service schedule.

"It is only appropriate that our customers, who are driving the premium cars—the best in the world—should have the best service," El Gharib added.

MTI invested in the new system, which is the latest version from Kerridge Autoline, the world's unchallenged leader in automotive software. Autoline reflects the current competitive and demanding business environment, providing efficiency and dependability in day-to-day trading. It has considerable powerful management information tools, aids to control and is a vital asset in business development and progress.

Autoline has been installed in over a thousand locations world-wide and has seen over twenty five years of progressive development. It has a track record of success, placing it as the widely respected benchmark standard and industry leader, with extensive manufacturer recognition and endorsement by brands such as Jaguar, Land Rover, BMW, DaimlerChrysler, Honda, Toyota, General Motors, Nissan, Renault, Ford, Honda, Smart, Volkswagen, Volvo, Audi and Porsche. Autoline is a focused and scalable program. That suits single or multi-franchise dealers, multi location and multi warehousing environments.

"Customers will definitely notice the difference," explained Joe Aquilina, the sales director at Information Systems, Ltd., which put MTI's AUTOLINE package together. "We expect connoisseurs of Jaguars, Land Rovers, Bentleys and Ferraris to be very pleased."

He said AUTOLINE® would help MTI deliver faster, more efficient service to its customers. "A successful implementation depends entirely on two important factors; a fully integrated product covering all business processes and a flexible organization willing and capable of adapting to the new business processes," Aquilina said. "The MTI project covered both sides; Autoline being a leader in the Automotive Software, combined with a dynamic company such as MTI. Adding to this the excellent collaboration and communication between all parties involved. We are pleased to have been entrusted with this project, by MTI a household name for luxury cars in Egypt."
