DAYTON, Ohio — Reynolds and Reynolds announced wider availability of its F&I eForms, a proven tool that brings efficiency and helps increase customer satisfaction in dealership F&I departments. The F&I eForms application for the Reynolds ERA dealership management system now is available in all 50 states.

The key business advantage for dealers using F&I eForms from Reynolds is marked improvement in a positive customer experience and more efficient, more professional business transactions in the finance department.

Consumers who purchase a vehicle from a dealership typically spend 25 percent of their time in the finance office finalizing their purchase and related paperwork. With F&I eForms from Reynolds, dealerships can speed up the forms preparation process in front of the consumer and reduce the most common forms errors in the finance office. Using F&I eForms also can reduce a dealership’s reliance on pre-printed forms and forms inventory. In addition, dealerships that use F&I eForms can automatically merge deal data and electronic signatures into laser-printed finance contracts, insurance applications, state forms and aftermarket agreements.

Jon Strawsburg, vice president of Product Marketing for Reynolds, says, “We continue to work with our customers on ways to improve the F&I experience in the dealership and to make F&I departments more efficient and cost effective. With our growing library of F&I eForms, our customers focus less on paperwork and more on serving their customers and creating a positive impression.”

F&I eForms also brings a number of benefits to industry providers, including efficiencies gained in storing and distributing new and revised forms.
