DealerScope Software Announces Release of DealerAlert 4.0
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, August 20, 2004 - DealerScope Software, LLC announced today, the newest release of DealerAlert (formerly known as "Silent Partner"). The newest release of the company's
flagship product contains 6 new alerts, but the major benefit to its customers is the innovation of a no-hardware-required solution.
"We came up with a way to transmit alerts out through the Dealer's business system to DealerScope's data center in an encrypted format. E-mails are then assembled and sent to the Dealership", said company co-founder Jay Alosa. "With the elimination of hardware, communication is approaching 100% reliable".
In 2002,
DealerScope unveiled Silent Partner. Earlier this year, Silent Partner was renamed "DealerAlert" to more accurately describe the product. DealerAlert is a unique software program that radically
changes the way information is retrieved and reviewed from dealers? business systems.
"[DealerAlert] provides real-time information that is analyzed, filtered and then delivered to you wherever you are", said David Schneider, the company's other founding partner. "With its smart
technology, Silent Partner can reduce stacks of paper into a single "Alert" containing only the pertinent information. Alerts are different from traditional management reports in four areas: They
are intelligent, real-time, proactive, and multi-company."

DealerScope Software Debuts Real-Time Management Alert System for Car & Truck Dealers
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE, June 19, 2002 - DealerScope Software, LLC announced today, the unveiling of Silent Partner; a unique software program that radically changes the way information is
retrieved and reviewed from dealers' business systems.
"Silent Partner provides real-time information that is analyzed, filtered and then delivered to you wherever you are", said David Schneider, one of the company's founding partners. "With its
smart technology, Silent Partner can reduce stacks of paper into a single "Alert" containing only what you are looking for."
Alerts are different from traditional management reports in four areas: They are intelligent, real-time, proactive, and multi-company.
Intelligent Filtering
Silent Partner analyzes the dealer's business transactions for them using industry standards or the dealer's own parameters. "Filtering out 'normal' business helps the dealer focus on areas that
need attention," Schneider said. "The bottom line is that our Alerts are concise and focused."
Real-Time Analysis
As business occurs throughout the day, Silent Partner searches for transactions that fall outside the dealership's parameters. When an exception is found, an Alert is immediately sent. Dealers
and managers benefit from knowing what is happening as it happens, rather than waiting until the end of the day - or even month - for pertinent information.
Proactive Delivery
Silent Partner turns current information retrieval on its head by reaching out to the dealer instead of vice-versa. Dealers no longer have to wait for someone else to run and analyze reports for
them. Alerts are delivered to them wherever they are via Internet e-mail, FAX, pager, cell phone, or PDA. Alerts that are delivered by e-mail contain links to on-line dealer management articles,
frequently asked questions (FAQ), and help tips.
Multi-Company
Silent Partner can monitor one or more dealerships at a time using individual parameters, or can be set to use the same parameters across all locations. Alerts delivered by e-mail are color-coded
by company for legibility, and grouping similar product lines in the same Alert can help make comparisons more meaningful. "Our dealers have found a tremendous benefit in comparing the content of
Alerts in a multi-store chain." Schneider added, "At a glance they can tell which stores are operating well and which ones need improvement."
Continued Evolution
Alerts are modular in nature, and there is no limit to the number that can be developed. "As dealers become aware of the capabilities of Silent Partner, they may come up with ideas we haven't
thought of yet", said Schneider. "Dealers are a creative bunch of people, and they know what they want to see. If it is meaningful, measurable, and the raw data is available, we can develop and
deliver new Alerts in a very short period of time. In addition to the more than two dozen existing Alerts, if a dealer or group requires something unique, we can work with them to develop custom
Alerts."
Dealer Feedback
DealerScope ended its beta test period of Silent Partner in May, signaling its general availability for most ADP business systems. "Silent Partner provided our beta testing dealers with immediate
value. The Alerts were brutally honest and as the first few e-mails arrived, even the most seasoned dealers received some eye-opening information", Schneider went on to say. "Two of our beta
dealers learned about problems they never knew they had, resulting in policy & procedure changes on the very first day we installed Silent Partner." Based on their feedback, ROI is estimated
at just two months. "We look forward to spreading the word about Silent Partner and showing dealers how they can increase their bottom line and decrease their problem areas by reading a few
e-mails each day."
