Darwin Partners With RouteOne
A new partnership between Darwin Automotive and RouteOne was designed to connect dealers with online car shoppers without compromising F&I production.
ISELIN, N.J. — F&I technology provider Darwin Automotive announced that Darwin Online is now integrated with RouteOne for credit application, submission, and approval..
From a dealer’s website, a consumer can select their vehicle, briefly describe their driving habits, select payment options and then receive a 100% accurate payment. After being educated on the available protection and accessories, the consumer can opt to save even more time and get approved via the RouteOne integrated credit application.
Darwin Online then sends the detailed deal structure inclusive of qualified customer and vehicle incentives and programs, insurance products, as well as any trade detail if applicable. Dealers have full control over how much of the process is automated via their Online Retail Services configurations, all according to the company.
“Undeniably one of the last pieces of digital retailing yet to be tackled is online F&I. Dealers need to adopt digital retailing technology that directly addresses and prominently promotes both the ‘F’ and the ‘I,’ or there will be one less profit center for them to count on,” said Phil Battista, CEO of Darwin Automotive. “With our RouteOne integration, Darwin Online continues the evolution of digital retailing in F&I, allowing customers to shop the way they demand. We offer dealers F&I everywhere — the ability to educate and sell F&I protection to customers wherever they choose to engage your dealership, and our dealers are profiting from this immensely.”
