AUSTIN, Texas -

F&I program provider RoadVantage recently announced a new GPS anti-theft tracking system to provide greater security and safety for both dealers and their customers. RoadVantage claims it’s one of the first F&I providers to offer a GPS System coupled with a vehicle theft protection benefit.

“The RoadVantage GPS Anti-Theft System benefits both dealers and their customers,” RoadVantage chief executive officer Garret Lacour said. “It provides dynamic inventory management for dealerships while opening up new profit opportunities.

“When sold with a vehicle, benefits are passed along to customers, who can then track their vehicles in real time,” Lacour continued. “The boundary, speeding and low battery alerts are invaluable family safety features – not only for theft protection and recovery, but also for families with new drivers.”

In addition to immediate vehicle location and speed in real time, the RoadVantage GPS Anti-Theft System can provides boundary, speeding and low battery alerts. In the event of a theft, the GPS’ 24/7 support team works directly with police to provide the vehicle’s location, enabling a quicker recovery.

The GPS Anti-Theft System also includes a vehicle theft benefit, making it one of the first F&I products of its kind on the market.

Dealers can use the RoadVantage GPS System for dynamic inventory management through 24/7 vehicle location and multi-lot “geo fences.”

Through instant location and multi-lot boundary alerts, floor plan audit times are dramatically reduced. If theft occurs, dealers can provide the police with the exact location of the stolen vehicle. The RoadVantage GPS Anti-Theft System also offers an online customer login that can be embedded in the dealer’s website, strengthening customer retention.

“RoadVantage has been first to market with several F&I products, and we’ve worked hard to build a culture of innovation,” Lacour said. “With this latest announcement, RoadVantage has brought an integrated GPS solution to both dealers and consumers.”
