The stream of developments from RouteOne continued on Tuesday as the company expanded its partnership with Southeast Toyota Finance, the provider of automotive financing for 176 Toyota dealers in the southeastern United States.

The expansion includes eContracting on RouteOne’s automotive finance platform. 

RouteOne highlighted that its eContract volume has now exceeded 5 million funded deals since the inception. The company pointed out this momentum continues to accelerate as finance sources such as Southeast Toyota Finance have elected to implement RouteOne eContracting. 

“Our No. 1 business goal is to help our Toyota dealer partners achieve success,” said Joanna Sherry, vice president of sales and marketing at Southeast Toyota Finance.

“eContracting is an initiative that will position our dealers to streamline the contract process and produce faster funding. It will deliver a superior experience to both our dealers and Toyota customers,” Sherry continued in a news release.

RouteOne continues to invest in enhancements to its eContracting platform to provide dealers the optimal technology solutions to sell and finance vehicles. The most recent enhancements to the RouteOne eContracting platform include electronic signature capture on mobile devices, the ability to switch associated credit applications, and self-service ability for dealers to convert eContracts to paper when necessary. RouteOne is committed to offering the best, most transparent experience possible to dealers in a market with evolving demands.

“We have a shared commitment to customer service and making it easier for dealers to sell and finance vehicles,” RouteOne chief executive officer Justin Oesterle said in a news release. “RouteOne eContracting improves the customer experience by reducing errors, ensuring all required signatures are captured, and validating deal data — all of which can contribute to faster funding for dealers.

“Through these and other efficiencies, RouteOne eContracting delivers a positive impact for dealers, customers and finance sources,” added Oesterle, who became the leader of RouteOne earlier this month before the company finalized other members of its leadership team.
