FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -

RouteOne in collaboration with Santander Consumer USA and Chrysler Capital is launching full eContracting capabilities available to all dealers who use either of these two auto financing providers.

The solution can provide complete retail and lease contract validation, signature and distribution – all done electronically. It is supported by open integrations to leading DMS providers that serve the U.S. dealer market. eContracting is currently in pilot with SCUSA and Chrysler Capital, with overall rollout for SCUSA expected later in the first quarter. It will be available to all Chrysler Capital dealers in Q2 2016.

“We are pleased to deepen our partnership with SC/Chrysler Capital to collaboratively enhance our service to dealers,” RouteOne chief executive officer Mike Jurecki said.

“The new offering will enable dealers to realize the benefits of eContracting, such as faster funding, improved CSI, and the reduction in dealer charge backs using a comprehensive validation routine prior to customer signature,” Jurecki continued.

Jurecki went on to mention RouteOne has a long and proven track record with eContracting. Its volume more than doubled in 2014 to 1.55 million contracts booked.

Momentum is accelerating because of strong participation by captive, captive-like, and independent finance sources, and a growing list of more than 5,000 dealers with coverage in all 50 states.

 Growth is further building because dealers can easily leverage their current DMSs and DSPs in support of the eContracting process through open integrations to the RouteOne platform. Finally, it provides compliance auditing throughout the entire contracting life-cycle, and a flexible, consumer-friendly signing process that can be done using signature pads, tablets, or nearly any touch-screen device.

“By making eContracting available at dealerships, RouteOne has boosted both compliance and customer service levels,” said Jason Kulas, CEO of Santander Consumer USA.

“This initiative fits with the SC/Chrysler Capital aim to help dealers sell more cars in an efficient and responsible manner," Kulas went on to say.
