WESTERVILLE, Ohio — NAC, which orchestrates sales and administration of vehicle service contract products and services, recently launched ExpressLane 2.0 — the company's next generation online dealer contracting system.

Officials explained ExpressLane was designed to address the efficiency gaps and sales challenges within the service contract market today, create a foundation for more technology-driven business and bring new opportunity and profitability to agents and their dealers.

NAC insisted its platform is capable of endless expansion of products and services. The company added the ExpressLane system is designed to be simple to manage, effortless to navigate and easily can adapt to the changing needs of the industry.

"The dynamics of most businesses have changed to include technology in business planning," stated Joseph Pesce, NAC's director of IT.

"Today, you're not only defined by your products and services, but by your technological ingenuity and capabilities," Pesce continued. "The advanced architecture of ExpressLane is built to seamlessly and cost-effectively integrate with all other industry-related systems through API's and Web services."

NAC went on to highlight that its eBusiness suite can offer all dealers real-time access to rates, on-the-spot contract creation/submission, areas to save draft contracts, recall, edit, or submit in batches later and built-in zero-percent contract financing that recalculates monthly payments on-the-fly.

Officials also emphasized the long-anticipated release of ExpressLane 2.0 incorporates powerful new tools for online rate development, changes and quick implementation and the ability to create and submit RV service contracts for motor homes and towables.

Furthermore, the company pointed out ExpressLane's browser-based interface also can make it accessible from any Internet-connected device, regardless of operating system, and can enable real-time, interactive functionality.

"ExpressLane 2.0 is a huge shift of power," declared Paul Leary, NAC's national strategic relationship manager.

"Bringing recreational vehicle plans online opens the doors for any non-VIN based vehicle service contract, because it allows dealers to rate by year, make, and model, guiding you through to a finished PDF contract," Leary concluded.
