Pinewood has announced the acquisition of the Ebbon-Dacs DMS business.

Pinewood said the majority of the Ebbon-Dacs DMS customers have already committed to upgrade to Pinnacle, the Pinewood dealer management system. They added that it is positive news for the Ebbon-Dacs DMS team, as there is "significant opportunity" within the merged business.

Pinewood said it has been impressed by the achievements of the Ebbon-Dacs DMS team. 

It is hoped that the acquisition will further strengthen its DMS development resource as the two Microsoft Partner development teams are integrated.

Ebbon-Dacs will now be able to focus on its position in the fleet connectivity market, with the knowledge that its long standing DMS customers will continue to enjoy a Microsoft technology roadmap and a business approach based upon enhancing dealer profitability, said Pinewood.
