DAVENPORT, Iowa -

Dealer Marketing Services, the makers of ProMax Unlimited, recently released the third solution in a line of three consumer credit soft pull products. The latest addition is the Instant Auto Credit App, an Equifax-powered version of the popular online soft pull solution.

Since the entire trio is now available, ProMax Unlimited indicated the three products can be deployed by dealers individually or as an entire product suite.

The Instant Auto Credit App can allow visitors to a dealership’s website to pre-qualify for auto financing. Consumers who wish to be pre-qualified are required to fill out a short application and verify their identity, in exchange for an offer that includes a maximum loan amount and a range of possible interest rates.

The dealership in turn can receive a pre-qualified lead.

“Leads are the lifeblood of the auto business,” ProMax chief operating officer Shane Born said. “This powerful soft pull tool goes a long way toward converting anonymous website visitors into auto sales and can be used for customers already at the dealership, showroom walk-ins and service lane customers.”

Instant Score, which was the first of the three Equifax-powered credit solutions to be released, can function as a simple plug-in to any page on a dealership’s website. Using Instant Score, visitors to a dealership’s website are able to see their Equifax credit score free of charge. This simple process only requires consumers to fill out a short form and verify their identity, but does not require some personally identifiable information, such as a social security number.

Upon completing the form and having their identity verified, the consumer may view their credit score, and the dealership receives a high quality authenticated lead.

“Our dealership customers highly value prospects that are sourced from their own websites and service lanes,” ProMax chief executive officer John Palmer said. “The PowerLead service from Equifax enables us to help validate consumer identities and performs a soft pull of a customer’s credit file to assess customers quickly and easily. This is why we are so excited to offer our dealerships the valuable services of each of these three products.”

Back in April, the company highlighted Instant Screen powered by Equifax; a solution that can enable dealers to provide a firm offer of credit at the dealership level. Customers shopping for a vehicle or in for a service appointment can be prescreened according to finance company’s predetermined credit criteria.

“The release of these three solutions solidifies our status as the industry leader in automotive dealer soft pull credit products,” ProMax chief technology officer Darian Miller said. “No one else boasts as wide a variety of automotive pre-screen tools.”
