Premier Dealer Services Adds E-Contracting Capabilities
Premier Dealer Services Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Great American Insurance Company, has enhanced the functionality of its vehicle service contracts with e-contracting capabilities.
SAN DIEGO – Premier Dealer Services Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Great American Insurance Company, has enhanced the functionality of its vehicle service contracts with e-contracting capabilities.
Automobile dealerships that offer Premier Essential Vehicle Service Contracts can electronically rate, prepare documents and invoice vehicle service contracts. Services include eRate, eContract and eRemit.
ERate ensures accurate plan and rate information when the product is offered. With eRate, dealerships can elect to pull DMS data, decode VINs and view vehicle-specific rates and plans. Dealerships can also pre-select terms and mileage options or allow F&I salespeople to view all available plans.
EContract allows the dealership to immediately print customized consumer contracts. The printed forms include state-specific language as well as the term and mileage interval and the deductible and coverage plan selected by the customer.
ERemit calculates and prepares invoices for contracts ranging from new contracts to cancellations. It also provides flexibility for dealerships to easily create custom invoices and print invoices for remittance.
"The e-Contracting capabilities of Premier Essential Vehicle Service Contracts streamline the contracting operations for dealerships upfront and behind the scenes. Premier Essential's eContracting is one more step in our continuing growth of electronic tools to serve the needs of our clients and the F&I marketplace," said Mark Baker, national sales manager for PDS.
