Scottish motor retailer John Martin Group has taken on a new dealer management system from Pentana Solutions.

It has selected DealerPro, Pentana Solutions pan-European DMS, to support sales and aftersales sites representing Volvo, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Lotus, Kia, Chrysler and Jeep.

The system will be used by more than 100 staff across the group, which is headed by managing director Gordon Nisbet.

The Edinburgh-based car dealer group, whose dealerships trade under the Belmont and Murray brands, said it selected DealerPRO as it is a modern solution built with current and evolving technologies, which will be tailored to meet its specific business processes and will future proof its operation.

DealerPro’s core business intelligence application was also a key deciding factor, it said, as was Pentana Solutions’ openness to work strategically with JMG’s preferred specialist third party providers.

Earlier this year Platts, which represents Hyundai and Ford franchises in Marlow and High Wycombe, also adopted the DealerPro DMS.
