Reynolds and Reynolds Canada Limited Announces the Integration of RouteOne with the REYNOLDSYSTEM(TM) DMS Platform


MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Dec. 14 -- Reynolds and Reynolds Canada Limited, the leading provider of integrated solutions for automotive retailers, and RouteOne Canada, the premiere credit application management system for North American dealers, announced today the launch of full integration between the REYNOLDSYSTEM(TM) platform and the RouteOne system. The eF&I Certified Finance Integration (CFI) with RouteOne seamlessly integrates with the Reynolds' eF&I (FAIT) system to eliminate the need to re- key information that already exists in the Reynolds system.

"Our dealers have told us that the RouteOne credit management system is their first choice for accessing finance sources and processing transactions," said Barry McMillan, president, RouteOne Canada. "DMS integration is a key part of our strategy and we are very pleased to have a market leader like Reynolds and Reynolds as an integration partner."

RouteOne is a web-based credit application management system for automotive dealers, developed to help improve the efficiencies in the automotive financing arena for dealers, customers, and participating financial institutions. It features 24x7 electronic connectivity, enhanced integration with eF&I (FAIT), integrated reporting, and access to major captive and non- captive finance sources. RouteOne Integration with Reynolds helps make the financing process fast, smooth, and error-free, and reduces the pain and stress associated with the more traditional buying experience. Deals can be structured based on known factors, leading to more profitable deals, increasing close rates, reducing resubmissions and walk-a-ways.

"We are excited about the possibilities that will be created with the integration of REYNOLDSYSTEM(TM) with RouteOne," commented Ron Reed, Vice President of Reynolds Canada. "RouteOne Integration will create for our customers a faster, smoother and more error-free financing process and help them become more efficient and profitable in the business of selling cars."

The ability to seamlessly integrate RouteOne with REYNOLDSYSTEM(TM) leads to significant savings. RouteOne Integration eliminates both the need to manually input loan application information into the RouteOne portal and the errors that cause resubmissions and re-contracting. After piloting RouteOne Integration, Gurdeep Sandhu from Applewood Chevrolet Cadillac noted an average savings of 6-7 hours per month, representing a cost savings of over $2,900 a year.

The integration between Reynolds and Reynolds and RouteOne will be available immediately.
