Gubagoo Adds Credit Check Capability to Live Chat
Gubagoo’s new Credit Pre-Qualification feature is designed to provide dealers with rich data they can use to prequalify customers during an online chat session.
BOCA RATON, Fla. — Dealer communications solutions provider Gubagoo Inc. announced a new Credit Pre-Qualification feature designed to check against consumer credit information stored at the leading national credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
Consumers who visit a Gubagoo-powered dealership website using their desktop or mobile device can access and submit a credit prequalification form while in a live chat. The dealer will receive rich data relating to the consumer’s credit score and outstanding vehicle loans, and can tailor their sales response to suit the consumer’s automotive needs and budget and also prioritize lead follow up, said Brad Title, CEO of Gubagoo.
“Car buyers will now find it easier to pre-qualify for a car loan while shopping online for their next vehicle,” Title said. “It is a win-win for both car buyers and dealers in terms of convenience and time saved. We expect that car dealers who use our solution will see a dramatic increase in the number of qualified leads they receive.”
