This week, Kinetic Advantage announced more than a half dozen enhancements to its proprietary dealer management portal, Kinetic 360.

The independent floorplan provider highlighted the new Kinetic 360 showcases a sleek and responsive design with functionality that can allow users to navigate the portal and manage their account easily.

After conducting an extensive study, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods, to understand the needs of the dealers, Kinetic Advantage said it used the results of that study to not only design a new portal that would meet those desires, but exceed them as well

Kinetic Advantage chief information officer and chief customer officer Chris Brady said the new features are expected to delight dealers and improve efficiencies in their day-to-day floorplan management.

“The biggest updates dealers will notice in the new Kinetic 360 portal are the fresh look and feel, the intuitive navigation and the added capability to click-through to access more details,” Brady said. “The new Kinetic 360 portal was designed to be a self-service tool with the dealer experience top of mind.

“We wanted to showcase, front-and-center, the most important information for the dealer, and we believe that is reflected in this latest release,” Brady continued.

In addition to an updated design and the ability to access additional information, a few of the highlights dealers can expect to see in the new portal include:

• A comprehensive dashboard providing an “at a glance” view of pending tasks requiring action, a summary of aging inventory and summary of floorplan counts, including their status

• The ability to view and release unapplied funds

• A submission form for trade-in floorplan requests

• For a given payment, the breakdown of principal, interest, and itemized fees due

• The ability to request a FedEx shipping label

• The ability to manage users’ K360 access

• The ability to download reports in multiple file formats

Independent dealers across the country have used Kinetic 360 to gain 24/7 access to titles, due dates and payment amounts, too.

“We expect these new features to provide even more benefits to make our dealers’ inventory flooring an easier and more manageable experience. We’re excited to build upon the current success of the platform and continue to provide top-tier service for our Kinetic Advantage customers,” Brady said.
