Garage Data Systems (GDS) has announced a new strategic partnership in Ireland with Otto Car Parts, for the sales and distribution of its GDS business software.

 
Garage Data Systems is a leading provider of software solutions for the independent motor trade in Ireland and the UK, with its systems in use in some 300 workshops across Ireland. Otto is a major supplier of car parts and automotive tools, with three distribution centres in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
 
Neil P Stewart FIMI of Garage Data Systems says he is delighted to be able to team up with Otto. He comments, "Demand for our software is growing by the day and we wanted to work with an Irish based company, that could help us meet this demand and bring our products to new customers.” He adds, "Otto is a very progressive and professional organisation, that has a excellent market knowledge and a great team of people calling on garages. This means our two companies working together can provide a first class service to the Irish market and satisfy a growing need for effective software and access to technical information.”
 
GDS specialises in supplying motor trade professionals with affordable, easy to use business software. Its GDS Workshop Manager is a fully integrated software application for managing daily workshop activities, creating invoices, and maintaining accurate workshop service records. Easy to use and navigate, it includes a VRM look-up facility, repair times and service schedules and many marketing functions as well as simple data import from other systems. GDS also supplies systems for CV workshops, bodyshop and the marine repair sector.
 
Barry McDowell of Otto says he has been hugely impressed by the GDS software. "Many of our customers have GDS software and the feedback we get is that once they start using it they wonder how they ever ran their business without it.” He adds, "It is a great time saver and can very quickly make a garage far more efficient, so the system has a quick payback on investment. It also has some great marketing features to make it easy to keep in touch with customers and develop new business.”
