FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — RouteOne announced Monday that it will integrate with desking technology provider Market Scan Information Systems Inc.’s MS5 and mDesking software products. RouteOne also said it improved its partnership with ProMax Online, a software provider for the special finance segment.

Through the proposed integration, dealerships can evaluate deals in Market Scan and directly export deals to RouteOne without exiting the Market Scan software. Market Scan customers will have same direct access to RouteOne finance sources they have available today, as well as increased time savings in the deal process.

“This exciting step forward in our continued seamless data integration with RouteOne will simplify the data management from the dealership’s users level,” said James Mason, national sales manager, Market Scan. “This seamless data transfer eliminates double data entry and speeds the customer through the sales and delivery process. We are pleased to offer dealers the benefits that this integration with RouteOne will offer.”

The Market Scan software systems combine dealership inventory, customer credit details, and lender finance information to display the most profitable deals for the dealership. Dealerships then export selected deals to RouteOne for submission to available finance sources. Because desking and deal submission are all accomplished within the same session, there is no duplicate data entry, extra phone calls, faxes, or emails.

“We are excited to offer our dealers integration with Market Scan,” said Mike Jurecki, RouteOne CEO. “The flexibility and accuracy of Market Scan, coupled with RouteOne’s streamlined credit application and funding capacity, will enable our dealer customers to quickly and easily maximize profits and increase customer satisfaction."

RouteOne LLC also announced last Friday that it is expanding its integration with ProMax Online to simplify the dealers’ workflow experience.

RouteOne and ProMax Online have been helping dealers realize an integrated deal workflow since 2008, and have now refined and improved the process based on dealer feedback. The enhanced integration further streamlines the credit application workflow and submission process, resulting in a seamless experience that helps dealers avoid duplicate data entry, saving time and increasing efficiencies in the F&I office.

“We are very pleased to announce this enhanced integration with ProMax,” said Mike Jurecki, RouteOne CEO. “RouteOne continuously strives to provide our shared dealer customers the tools they need to streamline their processes and improve the profitability of their business. The enhanced integration with ProMax allows dealers to process credit applications quickly and easily so they can spend more time selling.”

“This expanded integration between ProMax Online and Route One enhances the dealership’s efficiency when working deals using ProMax Online,” said John Palmer, CEO of ProMax Online. “Our goal is to continue to develop ProMax Online to help dealerships improve the speed and effectiveness of their sales and financing activities so they can sell more vehicles at higher gross profits. Our strategic relationship with RouteOne will help us both provide a major advantage to dealerships in 2009.”
