AUTOmATED ARiENS/GRAvEly
PRODUCT REGiSTRATiON
AvAilAblE iN iDEAl v8.5
Ideal Computer Systems, a busi-
ness management software provider for
outdoor power equipment dealers, has
announced automated Ariens/Gravely
Product Registration in its newest release
of software, Ideal v8.5. The new integra-
tion enables dealers to register all of their
Ariens and Gravely products through
Ideal, which allows for quick and easy
warranty claims submissions.
"Ariens is taking the lead in revital-
izing the OPE industry and supporting
an open industry standard," said Mario
Britz, Ideal's director of product devel-
opment. "Ideal is pleased that we have
been selected as a preferred DMS partner
as we are committed to simplify OEM
communication and allow dealers to
focus on their core business rather than
administration."
With the interface, dealers will save
time and money normally lost through
incomplete warranty claim submissions,
lost claims and missed submission dead-
lines. Dealers can simply register their
Ariens and Gravely products from Ideal's
Wholegood Properties screen. Once
set up, the Product Registration button
will display for a wholegood that has the
Ariens or Gravely Supplier ID, a Sales
Date and a Customer ID assigned. After
answering a couple of quick questions, the
Register check box will be marked, and
the product is considered registered. By
registering your products through Ideal,
your claim approval is automated and
payments of claims can easily be submit-
ted back to the dealer.

C-SySTEmS ANNOUNCES
AUTOmATED WARRANTy
ClAimS TRANSmiSSiON
fOR PROmiNENT vENDORS
c-Systems Software, Inc., Arlington,
Texas, announced June 18 the additions
of Echo, Shindaiwa, Toro, Exmark and
Stihl to its list of vendors with the abil-
ity to send Automated Warranty Claims
Transmission from within its Infinity
business management system. This latest
addition will be available with Infinity 6.0
due to be released in the next few weeks.
Dealers spend a considerable amount
of time and effort manually filling out and
submitting warranty claims. This added
expense creates an unnecessary burden
on the dealer. Because of this, the need for
an automated warranty claims submis-
sion process has become a top priority for
c-Systems.
Automated Warranty Claims Trans-
mission provides the ability to submit
warranty claims electronically. With this
new process, the dealer requires little inter-
vention to submit the claim to the vendor.
Infinity captures the warranty claim data
from within the repair order, including
all parts, labor and appropriate remarks
as determined by the vendor, and imme-
diately transmits the data electronically to
the vendor.
The addition of these vendors to
c-Systems' Automated Warranty Claims
Transmission feature supplements the
company's extensive list of electronic inte-
grations contained within its business
management systems.
