Driving IT performance for Border Motor Group
Having a reliable IT infrastructure is vital to the daily operations of a car dealership. David Allen IT Solutions work with Border Motor Group as their local IT partner to ensure the smooth running of their systems and IT infrastructure.
We have show rooms across Cumbria, South West Scotland and the Scottish Borders, and we rely on David Allen IT Solutions to provide managed IT services to our business across all sites.
We represent five major franchises: Toyota, Hyundai, Lexus, SKODA and Volkswagen, and have worked with David Allen IT Solutions for three years.
In recent weeks, they have been on site at the Border Motor Group Dumfries to upgrade the laptops within the vehicle service department to Windows 10, and to upgrade the ODIS software to the latest version.
It is essential that we have proactive IT support to help maintain our key systems such as the Volkswagen Group diagnosis software, Offboard Diagnosis Information System (ODIS).
A wireless dongle is connected inside a vehicle and transmits data back to the laptop which is on the computer network. The diagnostic laptop communicates with the Volkswagen Group factory database every time it is connected. The system helps diagnose vehicle faults, allowing for fast repairs and a quick turn around on servicing.
As well as our software, David Allen IT Solutions support our network infrastructure, business telephony and hardware support. This support helps our users to access Dealer Management Systems (DMS) and access dealer portals for updates or news from manufacturers, as well as other key systems, including email.
The David Allen IT Solutions team are on hand to support and maintain our IT infrastructure and ensure system reliability. With 24/7 remote system monitoring they are able to diagnose and repair hardware faults and system errors before we even know an error has occurred!
