<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>For Parul Tomar, great software starts with understanding the people who use it. As our Product Manager for Web Apps, she helps turn real dealership challenges into practical solutions that make everyday work easier.</strong></p>
<p>Now celebrating five years with Auto-IT, Parul began her journey as a Business Analyst before progressing into her current role, overseeing products including Tech Mobile, Driveway Express and Stock Assist.</p>
<p>Working closely with developers, testers, support teams and fellow product managers, she helps shape product roadmaps, prioritise new features and ensure solutions meet customers&#8217; needs.</p>
<p><strong><em>“It&#8217;s practical. You can see the impact of your work,”</em> </strong>Parul says, reflecting on what first attracted her to Auto-IT.</p>
<p>One of her most rewarding projects involved automating technicians&#8217; overtime calculations, replacing time-consuming manual processes with a more efficient solution. The project required extensive coordination across several Auto-IT products, making its successful delivery particularly satisfying.</p>
<p>Parul also highlights something customers rarely see: the considerable effort behind even seemingly minor software enhancements. A single new button can involve changes to applications, databases and APIs, followed by extensive testing across multiple devices and platforms.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, she&#8217;s particularly excited about bringing Auto-IT&#8217;s applications closer together and exploring how AI can help deliver smarter, simpler solutions.</p>
<p>Beyond work, Parul loves celebrating life&#8217;s big and small moments with family and friends — preferably with a little Bollywood music and dancing!</p>
<p>Watch our interview with Parul to learn more about her journey, the people behind Auto-IT&#8217;s technology and her vision for the future of dealership software.</p>

<h6>&#8220;Fantastic event, very well run, great presenters, good location, excellent content.&#8221;</h6>
<p style="text-align: left;">***</p>
<h6>&#8220;Fantastic event! Well worth the time, and a great opportunity to see what&#8217;s new on the way. I also place a fair amount of importance on putting a face to a name – the perfect environment to do that. Well done Auto-IT!&#8221;</h6>
<p style="text-align: left;">***</p>
<h6>&#8220;Was a great conference! Took a lot away from it.&#8221;</h6>
<p style="text-align: left;">***</p>
<h6>&#8220;I found the conference great. We learned things where we could get wins today as well as learn what to expect in the future. Look forward to the next one.&#8221;</h6>

<p><strong>More details coming soon!</strong></p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Auto-IT was part of the conversation, with Alla Keogh presenting on our employee value proposition and Rohan Duncan sharing insights on AI, business intelligence and using data to support better decision-making. It was an opportunity to contribute our own experience and learn from the challenges and successes of other software businesses.</p>
<p>For our customers, being part of Constellation Software means we can draw on a wider network of expertise, resources and proven approaches to keep developing and growing, while retaining Auto-IT’s identity and the relationships that make us who we are. Constellation’s philosophy is to buy and never sell, supporting its businesses to evolve and succeed over the long term.</p>
<p>We’re making the most of that support, bringing fresh thinking back to Auto-IT and exploring how it can translate into useful improvements, new capabilities and better experiences for our customers.</p></div>
