Karmak to Provide Ford Integration through Dealer
Integration Network
Oxlo Expands Into Truck Industry
Carlinville, Illinois (April 24, 2007) —
Oxlo Systems Inc. and Karmak, Inc., announce an
agreement for Oxlo to provide Ford dealer communication
system integration for Karmak Legend Business Systems.
By leveraging the Oxlo Dealer Integration Network,
Karmak’s Legend systems will quickly integrate with
Ford.
“We’re excited to extend our services to the heavy-duty
trucking market, and with Karmak’s experience and market
presence they’re clearly the best partner for us,”
commented Jim Lejeal, Oxlo CEO.
The new integration services offered by Karmak will
provide services that span a wide array of factory
communications at Ford, including parts, warranty, and
sales integrations. The integrations were completed in
January and the pilot program has just completed,
enabling Karmak truck dealers to automate Ford
communications without manual effort or re-entry of
data. The significant time savings provided by the new
Ford system will allow dealers more time to focus on
customers and on growing their business.
“Delivering uniquely capable business management
solutions is our focus, and we have always strived to
offer thorough communications with OEMs. We are
confident that the new Ford integration will provide
progressive and seamless functionality for Ford dealers
on the Karmak system,” says Bill Healy, Karmak President
and CEO.
