Make it five integrations with dealership management systems for AGORA.

Within a week of announcing a relationship with Auto Master Systems, AGORA finalized its relationships with AutoManager, a dealer software development company located in southern California that offers three principal products: DeskManager, WebManager and Automotive CRM.

AGORA, the Texas-based provider of technology solutions for the financial services industry, now is integrated with Auto Master Systems and AutoManager along with Frazer, Wayne Reaves and DealerCenter.

“The AutoManager integration continues to expand AGORA’s ability to help buy-here, pay-here dealers sell portfolios faster, more profitably and securely to our nationwide network of banks, finance companies, and credit unions on our platform,” AGORA founder and chief executive officer Steve Burke said.

“Protecting our dealers from exposing loan data when they make their portfolios available for sale and giving dealers more liquidity is the mission of AGORA,” Burke continued.

“DeskManager is an exceptional dealer management system, and we are excited to have them as one of our key integration partners, who enable dealers to seamlessly and securely offer their loans for sale, avoiding unsafe transmission of private customer data through emails and data files,” Burke went on to say.

For more than 30 years, AutoManager stated that it has been able to leverage their knowledge, experience and expertise to increase sales and productivity for their dealers. The integration with AGORA will give DeskManager’s BHPH dealerships an option to have their loan information concurrently available on AGORA, where they can securely select loan pools for bidding or financing.

“Adding AGORA as a valued integration partner allows us to continue our commitment of enhancing the value, innovation, and customer service we provide our dealers,” AutoManager president and chief executive officer Kami Tafreshi said.

“Now our buy-here, pay-here DeskManager dealers can increase their profitability and success by utilizing this fast and secure dynamic loan marketplace,” Tafreshi went on to say.

Now that DeskManager is the fifth AGORA API integration with the leading DMS providers. AGORA management expects that in the next few months AGORA will be fully integrated with DMS providers covering more than 90 percent of the dealerships nationwide.

This month, AGORA also hit a new milestone of more than $3 billion in principal balance placed on its platform since the launch in April 2017.
