RouteOne Announces Integration With AutoManager's 'DeskManager' DMS

FARMINGTON HILLS -- RouteOne announced Thursday that it has completed integration with AutoManager's DeskManager dealer management system.

Fields on the RouteOne credit application will be populated with information obtained electronically from the DeskManager system, eliminating duplicate data entry into multiple systems.

DeskManager already imports online credit applications from WebManager, an online vehicle marketing and dealer website platform offered by AutoManager. Now, these and other credit applications can be transferred seamlessly to the RouteOne network and submitted to its diverse array of finance sources.

Said Mike Jurecki RouteOne CEO: "The integration builds upon our leadership position as an open integration provider to our dealer customers, allowing them greater flexibility and choice in managing their F&I office."

AutoManager CEO Kami Tafreshi said this bridge between platforms reflects his company's philosophy of universal access.

"We're always committed to removing the barriers between dealers and the services that can improve their business," Tafreshi said. "The RouteOne interface helps our dealers seek better financing for their customers, while requiring little to no extra effort on their part."

Non-RouteOne dealers using the DeskManager tool may enroll with RouteOne by completing the information on the RouteOne registration page.  Dealers interested in DeskManager should visit the AutoManager website or call (800) 300-2808.

RouteOne was formed in 2002 by Ally Financial (formerly General Motors Acceptance Corp.), Ford Motor Credit Co., TD Auto Finance (formerly Chrysler Financial), and Toyota Financial Services to create a more streamlined credit application for automobile dealers and their customers. Providing access to more than 21,500 dealers in North America, RouteOne's web-based system allows automotive dealers to submit credit applications to the largest indirect lenders, request credit reports, and increase profitability with RouteOne's free Dealer Reporting Suite. RouteOne's open integration business model also allows the dealer to integrate with their choice of a wide variety of best in class providers, including DSPs, CRM systems, F&I modules and menu providers. RouteOne offers dealers a common platform for all their credit application financing needs.
