It is a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other after automotive software specialists Cooper Solutions celebrated a major milestone.
For the first time in the firm’s 12 year history Cooper Solutions has signed up a customer to all six of its web-based products.
South East dealer Vines BMW Group became Coopers’ landmark client after implementing FullCompliance – designed to meet national HMRC requirements that dealers account for all company car driver activity and fuel use – into its dealerships in Gatwick, Guildford and Redhill.
The privately owned family-run company has worked with Cooper Solutions since July 2005 when it started using FullControl and has since gone on to use FullCover, FullForecast, FullFinancials and FullAuction, along with FullCompliance.
Dean Pipitone, Director at Cooper Solutions which is based in Barford in Warwickshire, said: "The milestone was a key moment in the history of the firm. To start 2014 with the news Vines have become the first of our clients to use all six of our major products is fantastic for our team. We’ve worked hard to develop a range of products which are simple to use, efficient, enable dealerships to make substantial cost and time savings, and comply with industry standards. Over the last few years our client base has grown significantly, to around 1,400 dealerships, and further strengthening our partnership with Vines is testament to the positive impact each of the six products are having on dealers’ day-to-day efficiency and bottom line. We thank Vines for their on-going support and look forward to continuing to enjoy a strong partnership with the team.”
Adrian Houslop, Financial Controller at Vines BMW Group, added: “We’re pleased to have added FullCompliance to our processes across the group and to have strengthened our relationship with the team at Cooper Solutions. Each of the products have evolved over time and given us a nice comfort blanket to keep in real time control of every aspect of our operations. FullAuction in particular has been a revelation since we installed the function at our Guildford dealership in 2012 and has helped grow profits by as much as 50 per cent. We’ve enjoyed a strong period of growth across the business and there has been encouraging signs of improvement across the automotive sector, so we are looking forward to a further successful period.”
