(FRANKFORT, Ill.) – February 12, 2010 – Dealer HD will unveil its Internet Lead Manager, Lead Central, this weekend at the NADA Convention and Expo in Orlando, Florida.

Combining the ease-of-use of Dealer HD’s RIMS Admin with lead processing power the Lead Central ILM is designed to manage leads from a dealer’s website and 3^rd party providers.  Lead Central was designed with dealerships’ workflow in mind.  Features include a task manager, appointment calendar, documented correspondence and response time, HTML mailer templates as well as customizable phone and email scripts.

“Adding a lead management tool to our offerings was a natural step for us,” said Justin Duff, Vice President of Sales at Dealer HD.  “We’ve built Lead Central into our RIMS Admin to give our clients a fully integrated lead management system.  One login, one click.”

Lead Central has been integrated into the Dealer HD RIMS Admin interface allowing Dealer HD customers to easily toggle back and forth between the lead manager and website tools.  Lead Central is available as a standalone product as well and does not require users to host their sites with Dealer HD.

Dealer HD prides itself on providing cutting edge technology to its clients, giving them a leg up in an ever-competitive market.  Lead Central is just one of the many product releases Dealer HD has planned for 2010.  For more information on Dealer HD, product releases and becoming a Dealer HD client, please visit dealerhd.com
