Pinewood's Pinnacle dealer management system is now available with a Chip and PIN function for UK dealers.

All debit and credit card payments are automatically integrated into the DMS accounts system. Until now, dealership staff would have to manually enter and record credit card transactions via the old magnetic swipe PDQ card machines.

The development allows dealerships to offer what consumers would expect at a shop on the high street. Additionally, payments can only be made to cards on which the original debit was made.
