700Credit Announces Integration With AutoAlert to Provide Prescreen Services in the Service Lane
Dealers can use soft-pull credit data to sell cars in for service
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., December 18, 2019 (Newswire.com) - 700Credit, LLC, the automotive industry’s leading provider of credit reports, compliance solutions and consumer pre-qualification products, today announced its integration alliance with AutoAlert, the creator of the automotive industry’s leading software and communication solutions. With this new alliance, AutoAlert has incorporated QuickScreen, 700Credit’s prescreen solution, into their AutoAlert CreditConvert platform to increase sales opportunities sourced from a dealer’s service lane business.
The benefit to utilizing prescreen data within the CreditConvert platform is that it allows dealers to identify conquest customers who are in a good equity position and may be ready for a trade. 700Credit leverages its VIN Match technology to match the vehicle in for service with the auto tradeline information from the consumer's credit file. This allows AutoAlert to both identify the estimated payoff amount and equity in the vehicle to then provide a customer with a more accurate quote on a new vehicle.
“Prescreen data allows dealers to provide customers with payment quotes in the service lane,” noted Ken Hill, Managing Director of 700Credit. “By pulling soft-pull data in the service lane, dealers can identify vehicles that are in a good equity position or have high interest rates so they can put customers in a new vehicle at lower rates, potentially lowering their monthly payments. Soft-pull data is particularly useful for conquest customers when the vehicle in service was not purchased at that store,” added Hill.
“The service lane is an incredible, but often overlooked, opportunity for sales and customer growth,” says Julian Johnston, AutoAlert’s VP of Innovation and Platform Philosophy. “700Credit unlocks the door for AutoAlert to build relevant connections in the service drive with their service conquest customers. Pair that with AutoAlert’s Customer Experience Management (CXM) platform and these former service-only customers now become lifelong advocates for the dealership.”
