LOS ANGELES — AutoManger Inc. recently unveiled a new
version of its dealer management software, which includes a new tool for
managing flooring costs.

Desk Manager 11.93 also expands on the capabilities of its
predecessors with improved profit calculations and universal date/time
settings, the company shared.

The company explained that now dealers who use a revolving
line of credit to finance their inventory can use the enhanced product to
"effectively manage their flooring balances.

"The schedule upon which these flooring payments are made is
known as a "curtailment" schedule. DeskManager 11.93's new Curtailment screen
is a comprehensive dashboard for keeping track of payment schedules, interest
and fees," officials shared.

AutoManager chief executive officer Kami Tafreshi said
Curtailment addresses a common challenge for small- to medium-size independent
dealerships that many competing DMS products overlook.

"To us, providing a complete software solution means
considering everything a dealer might conceivably need," Tafreshi said. "This
is something our clients asked for, and we're excited to deliver it."

Furthermore, the updated software includes an "overhaul" of
DeskManager's date and time system.

Now, dealers utilizing the produst will be able to use
international time formats when documenting deals, payments and other events.

Officials said DeskManager 11.93 automatically translates
these numbers into whichever format is used by your computer.

"As more dealers outside the United States have adopted
DeskManager, particularly our friends in Canada, it has become necessary for us
to develop a truly international product," Tafreshi said. "Clock settings might
be a novelty on your home computer, but in auto sales, they have a crucial
impact on the history of every deal, customer record and inventory item."

The company noted it has also improved the system's profit
calculations.

Now, any fee that can be added in DeskManager's the
Deal/Trade screen can now be reflected in the profit report.

It's also possible to divide a single expense across
multiple vehicles, either equally or in specific portions, officials added.

Existing DeskManager customers with Support can upgrade to
DeskManager 11.93 at no additional cost, the company said.
