NeoSynergy's Darwin XE Dealer Management System to Integrate Carfax and Paychex Data Interfaces

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., July 28 - NeoSynergy, a Web-based automotive software firm, announced today that its revolutionary Darwin XE dealer management system (DMS) will integrate Carfax Vehicle History Reports and Paychex, a National Payroll Provider.

“With the addition of Carfax and Paychex, Darwin XE extends its leadership as a truly comprehensive solution to managing a dealer’s business,” says David Wassmann, NeoSynergy Chief Executive Officer. “With one interface, dealers can seamlessly switch from sales reporting and inventory tracking to evaluating used-car trade ins to processing staff payroll.” 

The Web-based Darwin XE software package handles inventory, customer records and transaction data for the sales, service and parts organizations in real time. Accordingly, Darwin XE is the only system dealers need to track and manage all aspects of their business, including account ledgers, new- and used-vehicle inventories, vehicle sales reports and documentation, consumer-contact information, and parts and service performance.

With the integration of Carfax Vehicle History Reports into the Darwin XE system, dealers can instantly run reports to evaluate potential trade-in vehicles. Based on the vehicle identification number, a Carfax Report may include: number of previous owners including Carfax 1-Owner cars, mileage information, service records, reported accidents and branded titles, such as salvage or flood damage.

With the integration of Paychex, a National Payroll Provider, dealers can also instantly access their Paychex account information, including payroll processing, payroll tax administration, 401(k) plan recording, and time and attendance reporting. Darwin XE currently also offers integration to ADP’s payroll systems.

For Darwin XE users, these upgrades will be provided automatically, with no need to purchase upgraded software or technology. This is just one of the benefits Darwin XE provides as the first DMS in the industry to use a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution rather than traditional server-based software. As a SaaS product, Darwin XE also offers an intuitive interface that leverages existing Web browser technologies and user controls. In addition, Darwin XE enables dealers the ability to pay for a subscription-based service on a monthly basis, rather than the large upfront costs for software purchases.

The Darwin XE system is designed to feed inventory and pricing information direct to the web, streamlining online marketing efforts. When paired with NeoSynergy’s Best Deals service, the system makes dealers’ new-vehicle inventory and promotional pricing and incentives available to more than 6 billion internet searches every month. When Best Deals Direct launches this summer, customers will be able to place deposits and start the financing process online.

“With the integration of Carfax and Paychex, we are continuing to anticipate and meet the needs of our subscribers,” says Wassmann. “We are committed to providing solutions that make automotive dealers more successful: Darwin XE is the most sophisticated, most comprehensive DMS in the market; Best Deals instantly connects dealers’ inventory, in real-time, to 6 billion internet searches each month for a fraction of the cost of print advertising; and with Best Deals Direct we will deliver dealers’ first usable solution for selling new vehicles online.”
