Pros
AutoPoint has always been the undisputed leader in its niche market. I’m really excited about the recent purchase by the multi-billion dollar Solera family of automotive related businesses. This company has a proven track record of domination within the automotive collision industry; parts inventory software, automotive paint and glass, and insurance claims processing software. Having the opportunity to be a player in what will be the meteoric growth of AutoPoint simply by its association with such business partners will be staggering.
Kontras
AutoPoint was the result of a successful entrepreneurial family business. I remember walking into the hqtrs one morning, with the owner each holding our coffee and chatting about the weather. Probably not going to happen with Solera. But now we have a much improved 401K program, broader health insurance coverage, exceptional growth capital and resources, and a state of the art headquarters building that houses all of our company branches in a single location. There have been many uncomfortable changes, but necessary for the healthy growth, stability, and job security of the company. And you know? The Managing Director (AutoPoint CEO) does return my emails!
