Loco-Soft and the CATAMA Alternative
Loco-Soft is one of the best-known dealer management systems in German-speaking countries and is traditionally operated locally or on a server. For businesses looking for a streamlined, location-independent, and low-maintenance solution, CATAMA is worth considering: The software runs entirely in the browser, requires no dedicated server, and is automatically updated on an ongoing basis.
Both solutions cover the core functions of repair shops and dealerships. The following points highlight the differences in their business models.
