FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — RouteOne announced today that subscriptions to its IDOne and SecureDocOne tools will be provided by Sonic Automotive to all its dealerships nationwide.

The investment is designed to assist Sonic's dealers in meeting FTC compliance requirements through the newly supplied identity verification and authentication provided by IDOne, as well as electronic document storage capabilities of SecureDocOne, according to the company.

"Sonic looks forward to employing these compliance tools across our dealerships to help maximize efficiencies and automate the manual activities embedded within our dealership compliance processes," stated Todd Weeks, national director of retail lending at Sonic.

"Processing all our credit applications through a single platform that encompasses the tools necessary to conduct our business will allow us to spend more time focusing on vehicle sales and less time on administrative tasks," he explained.

All of Sonic's captive finance customers will also benefit from the deal, which will complement the free RouteOne compliance services like Activity Alert and Adverse Action management already in use by the company.

"We are extremely pleased to be selected by Sonic Automotive to provide its dealers the tools they need to address the compliance issues that affect them and their customers," said Mike Jurecki, RouteOne's chief executive officer.

"And because all Sonic dealers utilize the RouteOne platform for virtually all of their credit applications, they can be sure that our compliance tools will cover the full scope of their business, ensuring that all applications are scanned, monitored and stored appropriately," he added.
