DAYTON, Ohio, March 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Reynolds and Reynolds Company announced today that EDS is deploying CARLO, a branded version of the Reynolds incadea automotive retailing software platform, in Germany at 16 Peugeot subsidiaries that have approximately 62 locations.

EDS is a leading provider of business and technology solutions that help clients worldwide improve their business performance. Peugeot Germany selected the retailing system based on its powerful reporting and integration features.

"CARLO enables us to do significant business reporting. This powerfully integrated system provides our retailers an opportunity to see in-depth information on customers and vehicles, increasing their efficiency and effectiveness across the dealership," said Oliver Veyrier, business manager, Peugeot Germany.

Reynolds incadea system is built on Microsoft Windows(R) and Microsoft(R) Business Solutions Navision(R), one of the company's enterprise resource planning solutions. Flexible architecture enables the solution to be easily localized to support multiple languages, currencies and local business requirements by Reynolds partners such as EDS.

"The contract with Peugeot Germany is a big achievement for us," said Reinhard Clemens, business management president for EDS in Germany. "It underscores our deep expertise in the automotive retailing industry and it demonstrates the value that we provide. We have been very successful in supporting other retailers groups including PSA-corporation and Citroen and I'm confident that we will attain the same success delivering the best-in- class product and service to Peugeot Germany."

Today, more than 11,000 users in 28 countries are using the powerful incadea retail management system in the daily operations of their dealerships.

"Retailers are embracing the incadea platform because it is the only standardized platform available that can be easily adapted to each country's business codes and language requirements," said Peter Wenger, vice president and general manager, Reynolds International. "Recently, we marked the fifth anniversary of incadea's launch. We share the success that we are having with our dedicated country partners; they have done an excellent job in adapting, installing and supporting customers on the platform in their respective countries."
