Dealers United Chooses DealerTrack as Preferred DMS Provider
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. — DealerTrack announced today the company
has been selected as the recommended DMS provider for Dealers United, a
national purchasing network for privately owned dealers.
As part of the agreement, officials said Dealers United will

management systems.

private dealers each and every day by finding the best products and services
for our dealer members," said Jesse Biter, co-founder of Dealers United.
"The DealerTrack DMS is clearly a cut above the rest when it
comes to solutions that both franchised and independent dealers need to run
their businesses efficiently and profitably," Biter continued.
Sharon Kitzman, vice president and general manger of DealerTrack
DMS, said, "DealerTrack is a true dealer partner when it comes to DMS. This
endorsement by Dealers United will allow more dealers to cost-effectively
experience the advanced technology and robust functionality of DealerTrack
DMS."
DealerTrack Delivers Electronic Lien and Title Solutions in
South Dakota and Wisconsin
In other company news, DealerTrack said its ELT Direct
offering will be used in South Dakota and Wisconsin this year as use of
electronic lien and title processing grows across throughout country
Beginning this month, officials said South Dakota will take
their lien and title notification processing online. Lenders doing business in
the state will be able to receive electronic notices of titles with liens,
instead of paper titles, and release liens electronically, using DealerTrack's
ELT Direct solution.
In addition, DealerTrack said it has been approved to offer its
ELT Direct product in Wisconsin. The
state plans to begin rolling-out its ELT program in phases and expects to offer
a complete ELT system later this year.
DealerTrack's ELT Direct can eliminate the receipt,
management, and handling of paper titles throughout the term of a loan or
lease. Using this comprehensive software solution, lenders can easily automate
what was previously an extremely manual, time- and resource-consuming process.
As a result, lenders can reduce internal processing costs and fraud, as well as
eliminate "lost titles."
"The use of electronic lien and titling is continuing to
grow, as more states realize the benefits," said Kathy Kassinos, vice president
and general manager, DealerTrack.
"As an experienced and proven automotive retail partner,
DealerTrack can deliver real value to lenders looking to implement electronic
solutions for lien and title management," Kassinos continued.
Currently, DealerTrack's ELT Direct solution is offered in
the following states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii (Oahu),
Idaho, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
