About Automotive World Solutions
Automotive World Solutions (AWS) the inventor of Maintenance Menu Software Solutions. AWS was the first company in the world to offer an internet based maintenance menu software solution. For over seven years now our customers have enjoyed the benefits of having customized maintenance menu software. Our history goes back over 15 years when our founder Larry Edwards started Edwards & Associates Consulting, Training and Research (E&A). E&A offered its customer's paper service menus that allowed dealership service departments to quote a "Complete Package Price" for all the different maintenance services manufacturers require to be done.
As vehicles became more complex, maintenance intervals became longer and manufacturers began implementing systems whereby the vehicle actually determined what maintenance services were required based on the customers driving habits it became increasingly more difficult for a service writer to price out a particular maintenance menu for their customers.
Edwards & Associates saw the need for an electronic solution to this problem and in 2002 founded Automotive World Solutions to specifically develop software driven solution to specifically address this ever increasing problem dealers are encountering in quoting services required and prices for vehicle maintenance.
Over the last seven years AWS has continually upgraded our software. Currently we are on our fourth generation of custom designed software versions 2.75. This version includes features no other software program of this type has such as;
- Customer Maintenance Tracking and reporting functions
- Customized Price quoting and the ability to store menu price quotes for up to 60 days
- Ability to capture customers e-mail addresses this greatly reduces marketing costs
- Powerful tracking tools allow managers to track every phase of the menu sales process from presentation, to additional recommendations to total sales
- Seasonal marketing feature allows management to add seasonal recommendations to every menu
- AWS marketing allows management to add service specials for specific mileages and or months for higher gross profits
