PEN is an electronic data exchange that streamlines the sales process by integrating the F&I product provider with the dealer’s point-of-sale system, whether through a menu or directly with a dealership management system’s desking software. This integration approach eliminates the need for separate applications to enable full electronic contracting and contract booking of aftermarket products.

“Integration to PEN allows OptionSoft to become more responsive to our clients with more efficiency,” said Ken Tomaro, president of OptionSoft Technologies.  “Our dealers benefit through access to PEN’s network of VSC and ancillary product providers. OptionSoft benefits through reduced administration, allowing us to focus on our dealer facing products.”
