Dealer Advantages

(DealMaker Auto Finance Software Benefits)

Structures More Profitable Deals…Faster.

Our auto finance software platform replaces basic online payment calculator tools and the educated guesswork used by most desk managers.

Improves First Pencil Closing Ratios

Quoting credit and vehicle qualified rate, term and payment options - matched to the dealer's lender programs. DealMaker reduces friction during the negotiation leading to fewer rehashes/defections.

‘Credit First’ Helps Hold Deal Gross

Establishing realistic payment expectations upfront helps dealers hold gross during the negotiation - and know what the finance participation is going to be.

Increases Finance Penetration

Dealers have a built-in competitive advantage over most direct financing options. Finance penetration increases when finance gets involved upfront in the deal - digitally or otherwise.

Presenting qualified deal structures - matched to the best lender fundable program during negotiation means fewer deal unwinds and rewrites and no lender decision to wait on.

Increased PVR

Improving the speed and quality of the customers' transition from Sales to F&I ultimately enhances product penetration and profitability. DealMaker creates more time to handle more deliveries.

Faster Funding / Improved Cash Flow

Logic, rules-based decision engine reduces lender declines and counter offers, positively impacting contracts in transit and cash flow.

Amazing Buying Experience

Early realistic payment quoting, frictionless and transparent negotiation, and faster transitions to and through Finance are significant drivers of customer satisfaction and loyalty.
