The NAT eGateway™, which NAT, Inc. calls "the first automotive aftermarket products and insurance digital hub," was introduced today at the 2004 Automotive News World Congress by NAT, Inc., a provider of workflow solutions for auto retailers and their aftermarket providers, including insurance companies and third-party administrators (TPA).
This digital hub connects auto retailers with their aftermarket providers in real time to help dealerships present and sell aftermarket products such as service contracts, GAP coverage, theft deterrent devices, credit life insurance and others faster, easier and more profitably through a seamless online process that enables regulatory compliance, according to NAT.
"Just as online financing portals dramatically altered how dealership F&I offices source and present finance options, the NAT eGateway is the first electronic link between automobile dealers and their aftermarket providers," the company said in a prepared statement.
An ASP model requiring only a PC and high-speed Internet connectivity, the NAT eGateway was developed by NAT under the leadership of CEO Peter Leger, formerly the CEO of CMSI-Credit Connection™ before its merger with online financing portal DealerTrack™. As president of ADP Dealer Services, Leger pioneered development of one of the industry’s first online car-shopping portals, ADP AutoConnect, which later evolved as AutoTrader.com under Cox Enterprises™.
National Auto Care Corp. recently signed on as a premier client of NAT's automotive aftermarket products and insurance eGateway. National Auto Care will announce its offering of NAT’s eMenu to its automotive dealer customers at the National Automobile Dealers Association annual convention, in Las Vegas Jan. 31-Feb. 4.
“After extensive industry research, we decided that NAT’s technology and menu selling solutions were better than other similar solutions in the marketplace,” said Peter Biscardi, president of National Auto Care. “But the real deciding factor was that NAT’s eGateway will allow us to offer innovative new services to our clients, like eMenu Selling with real-time, online rating and integration directly with the dealer’s management system.”
The NAT eGateway is composed of these following components to improve F&I management processes, sales and IT administration:
"We are extremely pleased to be partnering with National Auto Care, a leading third-party administrator,” Leger said. “Our NAT solutions will enable National Auto Care to increase market penetration of its aftermarket products while reducing administration costs and driving up customer satisfaction. The resulting increase in sales and decrease in administrative work creates a powerful win-win scenario for our clients that’s not to be found elsewhere in the market place today.”
