The Car Dealers Ideal Software Solution.
From it’s birth in the early 1980’s to the current day, Vector has been continually improving and developing it’s “Car Dealer Package” (CDP). We are justifiably proud of our product and can truly say it offers a tried and tested, highly advanced and flexible software solution for your specialised business needs.
The ‘Car Dealer Package’ is a mature product. Our extensive experience ensures that the system can be delivered without ‘bugs’ and devoid of the normal ‘teething problems’ inherent in many of the so called ‘turn-key’ packages.
‘CDP’ is a dynamic product. Extra functional modules and interfaces can be added to the ‘core software’ allowing it to fulfil the needs of all clients regardless of size. CDP is sufficiently flexible to support both the small enterprise, with perhaps a two man work force, to the large company with many departments and critically interconnected work flows. A true ‘A La Carte’ solution.
CDP is the best choice for you: We understand that all our clients have different requirements, we offer a system that can grow and evolve with you and your companies needs.
‘CDP’ uses the IBM iSeries as it’s technical platform. For smaller companies who do not need or wish to run their own server, we offer the ‘CDP Solution’. We will ‘host’ your system on our server in a secure data centre. Our highly trained and experienced technicians will be responsible for regular security back-ups, system support and software updates. Leaving you free to concentrate on your business.
