DST Incorporated in PHPBB Business Shopping Directory

DSTs roots in IBM computer systems for automotive and heavy equipment dealerships reach back to 1976, with DCS in England. In 1988 DCS launched DST with Coloradan Ray Stover who shared an expertise in database applications for parts and hard good distribution. DST introduced the DCS product suite for the IBM S/36 and S/38 in 1988, updated later that year for the new IBM Industry specific AS/400 software. The initial success in the automotive aftermarket spurred further development with a complete re-write of the software in native AS/400 code. The new parts and inventory management system debuted in 1995 offering enhanced ease of use, flexibility for large geographically spread organizations, and single-screen speed and flexibility in sales order entry. The first upgrade and workshop management software were released in 1996. From headquarters in Mission Viejo, CA - just south of the Orange County Airport - DST has expanded with sales offices nationally and overseas. In 1998 Vitech was acquired to support franchise stores and dealers and utilize Internet based technology to communicate and integrate store operations. In 1998, DST acquired Basset and Associates, with a specialty in data analysis and data warehouse for the aftermarket. A partnership with Drive Train Industries of Denver linked state-of-the-art warehouse management software with the DSTWare system. For outstanding customer satisfaction, sales growth and technical certification, IBM awarded DST Premier Business Partner status in 1999. Today, DST customers include importers, exporters, WDs, distribution units and chains in the automotive and heavy duty industries.
