GRAPEVINE, Texas -

A little more than a month after Wayne Reaves Software rolled out an enhancement to its current platform that can provide the capability for buy-here, pay-here dealers to furnish credit data to Equifax, the DMS provider completed an integration with F&I Express, a digital solution that can allow operators to electronically secure customer signatures and transmit contracts and other required data directly to participating sources.

Officials explained the incorporation of F&I Express eContracting within the Wayne Reaves DMS is designed to generate a streamlined process for dealers. Within the DMS, dealers can digitally send the customer’s deal information directly over to F&I Express to complete the contract. F&I managers are ensured of 100 percent accuracy and error-free contracts with a few clicks, sending the contract digitally to the customer for signatures.

Once completed, the digital contract can be easily tracked and submitted.     

“This new integration with Wayne Reaves will now further simplify the electronic contracting process — eliminating the need for dealers to re-enter contract data into the DMS,” said Brian Reed, president and chief executive officer of F&I Express.

“The integration with Wayne Reaves allows us to serve a wider range of dealers and provides them with new functionality that streamlines the total process. Dealers who use eContracting with Wayne Reaves DMS integration will find the process to be error-free and even more efficient,” Reed continued.

Reed went on to mention that eContracting can allow operators to significantly modernize their processes. It can automate critical checkpoints by ensuring that required fields and signatures are entered and contract requirements are met during the review process.

In addition, dealers now have access to more than 120 providers through the connection with F&I Express.

The companies added that the integration between Wayne Reaves and F&I Express significantly improves the process for independent dealers and BHPH operators. All Web-based, customers can be met where they choose and the contracts can be completed instantly.

Wayne Reaves president Jason Reaves insisted independent dealers now have more options than ever to serve their customers.

“Wayne Reaves’ car dealer management software provides an easy way to manage every aspect of the business,” Reaves said. “Now with our integration with F&I Express, our customers are able to easily pull accurate rates for providers and submit contracts electronically, 100 percent error-free.”
