DALLAS — CIMA Systems (CIMA), a customer interactive management application that serves as an automated business development center for dealerships, selected SEcureData from StoneEagle to provide data from its clients dealership management systems (DMS).

Automotive dealers use the DMS according to their individual business practices, so StoneEagle’s SEcureData solution aggregates inaccessible and inconsistent data from numerous DMS types. StoneEagle cleanses, standardizes and custom maps each dealer for data integrity and delivers the “transactable” data to applications such as CIMA.

CIMA’s patent-pending solution offers dealers the ability to communicate unlimited “two-way” communications with their customers based on any data that resides in the dealership’s DMS for one flat monthly fee. Customers receive communication via their preferred method (i.e., e-mail, phone, text, etc.). Also included is the ability to have each customer schedule a service appointment via a toll-free phone number or online. Before the appointment, CIMA will automatically contact each customer with an appointment reminder.

“StoneEagle’s ability to accurately and quickly retrieve DMS data is invaluable to CIMA,” said Gary Nixon, president and CEO of CIMA.

“The SEcureData solution is hosted and managed by StoneEagle to provide our clients with the highest levels of security, reliability and scalability. The data processing and quality assurance measures we have implemented, coupled with our ability to tailor a solution around a client’s specific business rules, provides a winning scenario for companies offering software applications to the automotive industry,” said Jason Gillette, director of sales and marketing for The StoneEagle Group.
