Multi Service Corp. has formed an agreement with Karmak to integrate OEM national account programs with Karmak business systems through Service Gate.


Multi Service facilitates private label purchasing programs for OEM aftermarket parts in the trucking industry. It designed Service Gate to work with a variety of dealer management systems. Karmak will make the interface available to its dealers accepting select Multi Service-issued private label cards and accounts.

"We are continuously working to improve the business advantages for dealers accepting our national account programs," said Mark O'Connell, president of Multi Service. "By taking advantage of one or all of the available Service Gate features, dealers will have the opportunity to further streamline transaction processing procedures and capitalize upon the business opportunities made available through these national account programs."

Using Service Gate, Karmak merchants will have the opportunity to interface directly with Multi Service Corp. Through the interface, users can automate price verification, invoice authorization and submission, as well as reconcile accounts receivable information for program transactions.

"Working with Multi Service, Karmak has developed this new interface to fully automate the integration with all Service Gate functions," said Chuck Scahill, Kamark's vice president of business development. "The Service Gate interface will eliminate complex manual processes and enable Karmak business system users to easily adhere to the requirements of all OEM national account programs supported by Multi Service."

Karmak and Multi Service will make these feature options available to dealers accepting select Multi Service private label cards and accounts over the next several months.
