Quorum Announces Alliance with Carfolks.com

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - March 21, 2011) - Quorum Information Technologies Inc. (Quorum) (TSX VENTURE:QIS) announced this week an alliance with Carfolks.com, the only auto retail marketing platform that helps dealers connect with customers and provides in-market shoppers with verified customer reviews of the dealer's performance.

"As social media channels exert more influence over where consumers shop and buy their vehicles, Quorum wants to provide our dealerships with the ability to meet the needs of managing their online reputations. After examining the landscape, we found Carfolks.com has a unique blend of a dealer centric model based on real 'social evidence' and objective information for consumers that presents an accurate picture of their experience," said Mark Allen, Quorum's Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Services. He continued, "This alliance is an example of Quorum's direction to help its dealers meet the needs of the modern marketplace and take worry out of their business. It is under a program called 'We've got you covered.' which also encompasses our ground-breaking new Assurance programs as well as a number of other products and services aimed at helping dealers with predictability of expenses, security and compliance."

The Carfolks program can automatically extract sales and service customer data from Quorum's DMS, XSellerator™ so that only actual customers of the dealership are posting reviews. Unlike other dealer rating sites, this program ensures "verifiable reviews" that the public can trust, and can be used by the dealers to differentiate themselves from the competition. Since Carfolks make everything public instantly, highly rated dealers can now advertise they are a top customer-rated dealership or provide a top-ranked service department. This can be a powerful marketing tool for dealers.

Kim Clouse, Vice President of Carfolks said, "Auto retailers haven't always had the best reputation in the market, but we know most of them do a great job of taking care of their customers. We wanted a way to reward those dealers for doing things right every day. Our process is simple, non-intrusive and integrates with dealers' websites, Facebook, Twitter and other social media channels. And, if Carfolks identifies a customer issue, the dealer is notified immediately so they can call the customer and determine the best way to resolve the issue. The resolution can then be posted as part of the review."

Carfolks, like Facebook, also offers auto dealers a free web page for every one of their sales people and service advisers to build their personal brand, connect with existing customers and reach new prospects too. This helps auto dealers retain staff members and lowers hiring and training costs.
