Indianapolis, August 25, 2010 – Autobase, Inc., the premier provider in automotive CRM for auto dealers nationwide, and a division of Dominion Dealer Solutions, today announced that General Motors (GM) has approved recertification for Autobase as a Certified Lead Management Provider (CLMP).

GM requires each of its stores to use a certified lead management provider for receiving and responding to OEM-generated Internet leads. Based on criteria listed in GM’s Statement of Certification Requirements (SOCR), over 70 technology standards were required for the recertification. With the recertification process successfully completed, Autobase continues its four-year standing as a preferred CLMP.

Bryan Anderson, founder and general manager of Autobase comments, “We are extremely proud of our continued relationship with General Motors and appreciate their recognition of Autobase CRM as a premier solution for their dealers. The hard work and effort of everyone involved prove just how dedicated Autobase and GM are to the success of the GM auto dealers using our automotive CRM.”

Being able to provide them with this industry-established certification ensures their ongoing satisfaction and success with total lead management.”
