RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. -- DealerCentric Solutions (DCS) has released its "Get Pre-Approved in Seconds" program, which pre-approves customers online within seconds, based on dealer-defined credit criteria.

The "Quick App" is customized to the look of the dealer's Web site and can be integrated into lead generation and CRM systems. The interactive quick app includes audio, text, and video messages, hooking and rewarding the consumer throughout the process of providing detailed information.

DCS obtains its vehicle specification data and images through a partnership with JATO Dynamics, a supplier of automotive market research such as vehicle specifications, prices, sales volumes and incentives.

DCS enables auto dealers to qualify online or offline consumers to specific vehicles and lender programs at the beginning of the sales process, taking the guesswork out of structuring deals.
