SSDS offers products such as custom-branded Inventory Management Systems to help dealerships manage their inventory while protecting them from vehicle theft from their premises that can be offered as a theft recovery and vehicle management product to their customers and to use as service maintenance reminders to tie their customers back to the dealership. Additionally, SSDS provides appearance protection products to protect the vehicle’s windshield and painted surfaces while on their premises from paint damage due to environmental and weather-related damage, scratches, chips, knicks, dents, and dings to their doors/door edges while parked in tight spaces.
