MAM Software Ltd, the leading provider of aftermarket software, has today announced the launch of Autonet, an advanced electronic trading solution for aftermarket businesses.

Developed in response to feedback from customers and key industry players, Autonet unites a number of MAM's existing e-commerce solutions under a single unified brand. It's a suite of applications and solutions that enables online connectivity between the back-end systems of trading partners of the automotive aftermarket.

"Autonet combines and enhances the various separate solutions we're already providing" said Mike Jamieson, Managing Director of MAM Software. "Since early 2000, we've been working with a number of industry suppliers to provide stable e-commerce solutions for our customers. These applications are now being unified under the Autonet brand to strengthen our presence and demonstrate our commitment to developing connectivity solutions for the aftermarket".

Autonet accelerates the communication of business transactions between supply chain members, in many instances providing real-time access to stock and price information. With support for all major e-commerce protocols, Autonet simplifies the process of electronic trading by providing a single route for multiple transaction standards.

"Importantly, Autonet is designed to work with – not replace – existing e-commerce standards" explained Jamieson. "Using Microsoft web services, businesses connect seamlessly with Autonet using standard XML message sets. Where required, Autonet translates these messages into the relevant e-commerce protocols and transmits them to the appropriate trading partners."

Autonet's inherent flexibility enables partners throughout the supply chain to connect and trade electronically. "Autonet encompasses a number of applications and solutions" continued Jamieson. "It offers connectivity for all participants including suppliers, factors, retailers, workshops and consumers. It can also provide central data processing capability to trading groups servicing national accounts."

Autonet is available now and further information can be gained by contacting MAM Software on 01226 352900.
