LITTLETON, Colo. -

For the second time this month, PassTime finalized another relationship to help buy-here, pay-here dealerships and finance companies that participate in the subprime space.

After solidifying a relationship with AFS Dealers, the automotive GPS solutions provider recently announced it has completed an integration with Solutions by Text (SBT), a division of Marketing Response Solutions, focused on streamlining client communication and leveraging the power of SMS to create advanced business solutions in the mobile space.

Through the software integration, the companies highlighted mutual customers of PassTime and SBT will have the ability to automatically send consumers text message communications and reminders relating to their vehicle payment and PassTime device. The addition of text message communication to the payment reminders of the PassTime device is designed to make it easier for dealers and finance companies to stay in touch with their consumer customers.

“The integration with SBT is something a lot of customers in the industry are already talking about,” PassTime president and chief operating officer Chris Macheca said.

“We are most excited about providing our customers even more tools to help their business — and that is exactly what the integration with Solutions by Text gives them,” Macheca continued.

Dealers and finance company customers use PassTime’s GPS solutions to connect vehicles and protect their assets. For the auto finance industry, PassTime GPS solutions can help to facilitate communication between consumers and creditors, helping keep consumers on track with their payments with payment reminders.

PassTime has been in business for more than 25 years, trying to providing high-quality and reliable products to the vehicle financing industry along with 24/7 live customer care for its customers and consumers.

Solutions by Text is a division of Marketing Response Solutions, a full-service consulting firm which has been serving the business community since 1995. Solutions by Text leverages the power of SMS for business solutions and has a full suite of services to compliment nearly any business model, from payment reminders to completing a transaction.

From answering billing questions, offering loyalty discounts, or promoting products and services, with SBT, customer communication happens in real time, according to the company.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about creating meaningful relationships. Our partnership with PassTime GPS allows us to provide useful tools to better the user experience,” Solutions by Text chief executive officer Danny Cantrell said.

“PassTime GPS is a top tier organization and we are proud to be a part of the team,” Cantrell went on to say.
