FORT WORTH, Texas — Along with detailing its latest asset-backed securitization, General Motors revealed which provider will handle its new commercial lending services business.

Officials tapped DataScan Technologies as their systems provider for the commercial lending services business GM Financial is set to launch in April.

The company said this division will offer floor plan financing, capital, real estate and construction loans, floor plan insurance and cash management programs to GM dealers in the United States and Canada.

GM Financial also selected DataScan Field Services to conduct its floor plan inspections.

Officials believe both the lending systems and inspection services will provide GM Financial with a complete dealer floor plan solution utilizing DataScan's Wholesale Management System, Dealer Access System, Risk Management System and DataScan Field Service's extensive nationwide coverage.

"As we looked to build a best-in-class commercial lending platform, aligning ourselves with industry leaders was a must," said Brian Fallon, GM Financial's senior vice president of commercial lending services.

"When it came to selecting a provider for dealer loan systems and inspection services, DataScan had the history and experience necessary to help us develop a comprehensive program that meets the needs of our GM dealer partners," Fallon continued.

DataScan vice president and general manager Brent Sergot added, "We look forward to the new business relationship with GM Financial and are pleased to have the opportunity to provide them with our expertise as they launch their dealer commercial business.

"DataScan's support systems and services will streamline GM Financial's lending and risk mitigation through an easy-to-use online interface, as well as accommodate our clients' future growth plans," Sergot went on to say.

GM Financial intends to market its commercial lending services suite of products at the National Auto Dealers Association Convention and Expo this weekend in Las Vegas. To learn more, dealers can visit GM Financial in the General Motors' booth (No. 2666) at NADA.
