Norfolk, VA – (November 8, 2013) – Boats Group (Boats Group), the division of Dominion Enterprises that operates YachtWorld.com, BoatTrader.com and Boats.com, will welcome visitors to its booth at this year’s MDCE conference with an exciting new experience for dealers.

Imagine a new approach to marine dealership management. Imagine one software platform that helps create better, stronger and more profitable businesses for marine dealers across the industry. Imagine an end-to-end solution that can save vast amounts of money and time – up to 82 work days of previous work time. At MDCE, Boats Group will introduce a new product that makes all this a reality, helping dealers become more efficient, functional, flexible and better connected with their customers.

Ian Atkins, senior vice president and general manager of Boats Group commented: “We are tremendously excited about this year’s MDCE conference and the game-changing product we will showcase for our customers. The product will be officially unveiled at MDCE where dealers will be welcome to come and experience it first-hand. We have always had close relationships with marine retailers, providing dealers and OEMs alike with a range of data and services for more than 25 years. This experience has given us a clear understanding of the market’s real needs, and has led us to develop a new end-to-end software platform that brings together not just our complete product suite, but also a complete range of business management tools, all on one system.  We feel certain a positive change is coming in the way our entire business sector operates, bringing real benefits to dealerships and customers alike, and I am confident we will be the ones to lead this change.”

Matt Gruhn, president, Marine Retailers Association of the Americas, added, “With the proliferation of new technologies and platforms for the management of dealership operations, I believe a single platform that consolidates the management of all of these tools will be a welcome addition to the marine market.”
