VEHICARE DRIVES DATA–DRIVEN PERFORMANCE WITH SM–PLUS™
SERVICE SOFTWARE FOR SAGE MAS 500 ERP

Indianapolis, IN – February 21, 2007 – Single Source Systems, Inc. today announced that VehiCare, LLC, a Charlotte–based fleet maintenance service company, has joined the ranks of a growing list of satisfied users of the SM–Plus™ for Sage MAS 500 service management solution. VehiCare uses SM–Plus to improve efficiencies and drive cost savings in several key areas, including field and depot repair operations, work order management and service business performance management.

SM–Plus for Sage MAS 500 ERP is an integrated information system that helps service–intensive companies manage and maintain internal and customer–owned assets by providing highly functional service business process support seamlessly integrated to back–office financials, purchasing, inventory control, costing and management reporting.

“We selected SM–Plus for Sage MAS 500 ERP because it supports every aspect of our service operations and provides the visibility we need to make important decisions that impact customer satisfaction and resource utilization,” stated Susan Dunn, CFO of VehiCare. “Of all the systems we evaluated, SM–Plus offered the most value based on its extensive service capabilities and its seamless integration with the Sage MAS 500 ERP system. With the SM–Plus for Sage MAS 500 solution, we have a world–class accounting system and a best–of–breed service management suite in one, integrated enterprise solution.”

By implementing SM–Plus for Sage MAS 500 ERP, VehiCare has gained efficiencies by eliminating multiple disparate accounting and asset management systems; streamlining work order management processes; reducing time and cost of delivering accurate information to key decision makers; providing the ability to track equipment and customer–specific service history information and shrinking open service call cycle time. SM–Plus for Sage MAS 500 ERP also provides performance management reporting for powerful visibility of service operations metrics like technician labor hours worked vs. hours billed and work order profitability by service type (break–fix vs. preventive maintenance).

“Single Source has enjoyed teaming with VehiCare to successfully implement SM–Plus for Sage MAS 500,” said Tony Petrucciani, CEO Single Source. “In many ways VehiCare is a perfect fit for our solution: an asset–intensive, service–based company doing business across multiple sites, providing a combination of field service, depot repair, break–fix and preventive maintenance services. In my opinion, VehiCare is a great example of a services–led company that ‘gets it,’” added Petrucciani. “They understand that they are not just providing oil–changes and other routine maintenance, they’re delivering vehicle uptime allowing their customers to focus on their core business of moving freight, which translates into real value for their customers: cost–savings, longer lasting trucks and happier drivers. We are proud to play our part in helping them deliver that value.”
