Kia Canada Inc. has named the Reynolds and Reynolds Co. as a “certified dealership management system (DMS) provider” for Kia dealerships in Canada.

Reynolds and Reynolds offers its hardware and software system for helping auto dealers manage their businesses — called an “ERA DMS” — to franchised automobile dealers in the United States and Canada.

“We’re pleased that Reynolds Canada is included among Kia Canada’s certified DMS providers,” Ian Reilly, vice president of sales for Reynolds Canada, said in a statement from the company. “We have a lot of confidence in the results the ERA DMS can deliver for dealerships and we’re proud of the Kia dealerships we already support.”

Kettering-based Reynolds has about 1,300 employees at its local campus off County Line Road and about 5,000 employees worldwide.
