What MAM Software does

MAM Software is a UK-headquartered provider of integrated business management software for the automotive aftermarket, founded in 1984 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) since its October 2019 take-private at approximately $154.2 million. The company serves automotive parts distributors, motor factors, retailers, independent garages, workshops, tyre dealers, and fast-fit operators through a vertically-specialized platform built on Microsoft technology with both on-premise and cloud (SaaS) deployment options. Its core product, Autopart, integrates sales, stock management, accounting, and reporting, and is surrounded by a broad module portfolio including Autowork Online/Enterprise for garage management, Autocat for vehicle parts cataloguing, Vecta for sales intelligence/CRM, SalesRep for field sales, Driversboard for delivery dispatch, Warehouse Management Software, ePOD for proof of delivery, EasyAP for invoice processing, and TeamView for technician tracking. The platform is tightly integrated with third-party ecosystems including Xero and Sage (accounting), Paymentsense (payments), Phocas (BI), DVLA vehicle data, and DVSA MOT history, and aggregates supplier product data from major parts brands such as Sealey, Draper Tools, Comline, Valeo, and Sachs.

MAM Software generates revenue through a mix of on-premise software licensing (perpetual/term-based with annual maintenance), recurring monthly or annual cloud/SaaS subscriptions, professional services and consultancy (e.g., £277.50 MOT/tune-up on-site visits), managed support and maintenance contracts, and transaction fees from integrated card payment processing. Go-to-market is primarily direct sales, with dedicated phone lines per product line, a sales-led motion supplemented by trade-show presence at Automechanika, NTDA, Auto Trade Expo, and A1 Motor Stores events, and channel distribution through the parent KCS network across the UK, Ireland, Benelux, South Africa, Canada, the USA, Nordics, and Australia. The group collectively serves 34,000+ customers in 76 countries at 50,000+ locations, holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and is pursuing an active M&A strategy to extend product surface into field service management (Klipboard), telematics (RAM Tracking), PIM/data (Rain Data), and warehouse/transport management (Vigo Software).
