HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Feb. 11 -- The Dealer Services Group of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (NYSE:ADP) today announced the introduction of ADP's Business Online suite of solutions.

One optional component of ADP's Business Online, ADP's Buy Online enables dealerships to offer an online vehicle purchase process to web consumers. "We realized it's becoming a competitive necessity for dealers to be able to offer a complete and accurate online experience to consumers, including the ability to purchase vehicles. ADP's Buy Online supports an efficient, satisfying customer-driven sales process and lets dealers provide the same experience to online consumers as they offer to their customers in the physical dealership," said Steve Anenen, President of ADP Dealer Services. "Consumers can either purchase their vehicle online or begin the process on the Internet and take delivery at the dealership, whichever way they prefer."

With Buy Online, consumers gain the convenience and the dealer maintains control of the sales process. And accuracy is assured with real-time integration to the dealership's Dealer Management System (DMS), including the F&I, credit and vehicle inventory applications. Its capabilities also include:

-- Automatic vehicle-specific quotes
-- Automatic lead responses with a quote
-- Upgrade, protection and warranty information
-- Trade-in, down payment and payment options

"A key goal of ADP's Business Online is to ensure the customer's online experience is consistent with the same service they receive in the physical dealership," states Joe Bihner, Vice President of Technology Solutions for ADP Dealer Services. "We have built in the necessary tools including our quote builder solution to make certain that a dealership can meet its customer's needs in any environment."
