GMS, windshield repair and replacement management software (created by Mainstreet ™ Computers) announced today that it has become a participant in the CDK Global Partner Program.

(NASDAQ:CDK), a leading enabler of end-to-end automotive commerce, developed to help automotive dealers succeed.

"We are pleased to empower dealerships with powerful software tools and mobile apps needed to repair and replace auto glass–right at their service bays. Easy to use functions such as glass sourcing by tapping into the NAGS database, easy quote creation, and insurance billing saves technicians time and increases their productivity. With 13-14 million windshields replaced each year, the upside for creating a new revenue stream is very promising," explains Mark Haeck, Vice President of Business Development.

Mainstreet leverages over forty years of experience in developing software solutions and mobile applications for the auto glass industry. The next evolution of the POS software, GMS, is a dealer minded solution created to meet the rising demand of dealership collision centers and service centers repairing and replacing windshields in-house. All functions of auto glass sourcing, billing and insurance processing are synced into the CDK Repair Order, facilitating and speeding up processes for technicians.

During the sourcing process, GMS provides technicians with the ability to certify glass data through NAGS (National Auto Glass Specification), ensuring the selection of correct part numbers, labor hours, and list prices. GMS also features advanced EDI functionality to automate the full insurance billing process from start to finish.
