LOS ANGELES -

Executives from 700Credit, a provider of credit reporting, prescreen data and compliance products and services, highlighted that their information now is integrated with DeskManager, AutoManager’s DMS software product.

The companies explained this comprehensive tool is geared to help users manage potential customer credit inquiries while ensuring dealerships are ahead of industry compliance trends.

The system can provide access to all three credit bureaus, all formats, and all score models. All report history is saved in DeskManager, which makes coming back to a potential customer’s credit profile very simple.

“We believe 700Credit will be a great asset to our dealers, and it is a great benefit to them to be able to use this credit reporting module all while still in their DMS,” stated, of AutoManager chief executive officer Kami Tafreshi said.

“700Credit’s user experience is among the best I’ve seen in the credit reporting industry, which is why I such a huge benefit from this partnership for our dealers,” Tafreshi continued.

Another great feature of this integration is the quick screen product, a soft inquiry credit profile which can allow the dealer to prescreen consumers and pull up the potential customers’ credit information without placing a hard inquiry on their credit. Officials indicated this process can allow dealers to quickly identify customers who do or do not pre-qualify for certain vehicles.

“This integration with DeskManager provides dealers critical credit information up front in the sales process,” said Ken Hill, managing director of 700Credit

“Dealers can minimize the number of deals that fall apart in the finance office by aligning the consumer with a car and payment that fits their situation,” Hill continued. “Also, telling a consumer they are pre-approved the minute they walk in the door of a dealership empowers the dealer to sell more cars.”

Hill touched on another part of the integration that might help dealers.

“Another important aspect of this partnership is that DeskManager dealers will now also have insight into how much the consumer is paying for a vehicle, their current interest rate, and remaining balance,” Hill said. “As a consumer, who wouldn’t want to hear they can get that new car they are interested in at a lower payment?”
