The Power of Collaboration

It's About Leverage

PFW Password - Spring 2010 In 2006, PFW Systems Corporation and ADP (Automatic Data Processing, Inc.) entered into an alliance that helped PFW deliver our industry-leading PFW IntelliDealer Dealership Management System to Dealers via an ASP (Application Service Provider) / SaaS (Software as a Service) delivery model. The alliance gave Dealers the choice between the ASP delivery method and hosting their solution on an on-site server.

To build on the success of that alliance, PFW and ADP Dealer Services – a division of ADP and a leading provider of integrated computing solutions to nearly 27,000 auto, truck, motorcycle, marine and recreational vehicle Dealers throughout the world – combined organizations on June 24, 2009. The in-depth industry knowledge and Dealership Management System expertise of our new team allows us to offer a broader portfolio of products while protecting the investment that our customers have made in PFW.

New Opportunities, Same Commitment to our Dealers
While we are proud of our new ability to support Original Equipment Manufacturers’ global Dealer strategies and offer new solutions, we know that it’s the personal, collaborative relationships we have forged with our customers that have made us who we are and will continue to help us succeed.

Our customers will be able to appreciate the benefits of ADP Dealer Services’ size, financial strength, depth of experience and breadth of business solutions. They will continue to rely on PFW’s unmatched customer service and dedication to working with Dealers to implement the upgrades that help them efficiently and effectively grow their business. Quite simply, PFW and ADP Dealer Services are able to provide a value proposition that is unmatched in the industry.
