RouteOne Launches Desking Tool
RouteOne has entered the desking tool category with RouteOne Desking. The launch of the product, the company states, comes from requests from many of their customers.
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — RouteOne has launched RouteOne Desking, a tool that allows dealers to calculate and present monthly payment options to customers. It also covers various sales types like lease, retail and cash deals, according to the company.
RouteOne Desking checks rebates and program compatibility to help reduce errors and need for manual verifications. It also includes dealer configurable options, such as taxes and fees, and default aftermarket value to allow for room on the back-end when the deal moves into F&I, according to the company. The desking platform also features rates, incentives and residual values from captives as well as an array of finance sources.
Once a deal is desked, company officials note, the data from it can generate a credit application in RouteOne with one click.
“There are many outstanding desking solutions in the marketplace today, which we will continue to integrate with to fully support dealer choice. So we didn’t get into the business just to get into it,” said Mike Jurecki, RouteOne CEO. “We got into desking because our customers asked us to. They wanted an easy way to consistently calculate payment across all channels that integrates directly into the RouteOne workflow that they are so comfortable with and count on for its reliability. With the launch of this new product, they are able to do just that.”
RouteOne will be demoing the product at the 2016 National Auto Dealer Association Convention and Expo at booth #929C. For more, click here.
