Littleton, CO – August 4, 2009
Charter Software is excited to announce the initial release of ASPEN, an innovative, dynamic business management system designed for equipment dealers. ASPEN is Charter’s newest Windows-based product in their line of dealership business management solutions, which includes DealerWinTM, their popular business management system that is installed in hundreds of locations throughout North America.
ASPEN is the result of three year’s development involving ongoing field testing with a dealer panel. Together with this panel, the team at Charter Software has combined and applied their solid knowledge of the equipment industry to design and produce a business management system that addresses the evolving needs of growing dealerships. ASPEN answers the call for a scalable, reasonably priced multi-store business management solution, and also offers single store dealers more robust functionality than offered by other systems.
Charter Software President Anne Salemo says, “The equipment industry is going through some huge changes right now. ASPEN is the culmination of what our customers told us they needed out of a business system to stay competitive and thrive in this industry. We are excited that we can now offer dealers a product with the functionality they’ve requested.”
ASPEN was developed using Microsoft .NET and SQL Server to offer dealers strong security, a reliable, manageable IT infrastructure, and easy integration with Microsoft applications. ASPEN’s similar look and feel to popular Microsoft programs allows for a smoother user transition to the system than from text-based systems. For example, accessing functions in ASPEN is quite similar to opening folders in Microsoft Outlook. Users can label frequently used functions as “Favorites” for instant access, and quickly move between multiple functions using forward and back buttons. With just a few mouse clicks, users can easily return to a screen with their previous work. “This ability to multi-task fits the way most dealers do business,” says Salemo.
