FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — RouteOne announced Wednesday that Kelley Blue Book's vehicle values have been added into the RouteOne vehicle values tool.

The addition of Kelley Blue Book values will allow dealers and finance sources to implement them on the RouteOne platform in order to 'speak the same language' when valuing trade-in vehicles and used car collateral, officials indicated.

The monthly KBB guide will be available for subscription on the RouteOne platform. A free 30-day trial of the guide will be available to all RouteOne users from Sept. 25 to Oct. 25.

"The integration with Kelley Blue Book allows us to bring greater efficiency to the valuation process for our dealer and finance source customers," said Mike Jurecki, RouteOne's chief executive officer.

"Our ultimate goal is to assist dealers in spending more time selling, less on administration, and fund applications more quickly. The addition of Kelley Blue Book to our vehicle values tool will help us achieve that goal," he continued.

RouteOne's valuation tool eliminates the need for dealers to manually find, calculate and then enter the information in the credit application, according to the company. Basically, users can simply identify the vehicle collateral using the integrated tool and the associated values are automatically identified and integrated into RouteOne's online financing tools.

"Kelley Blue Book Values have been a benchmark in vehicle lending for more than 80 years," said Paul Johnson, president, Kelley Blue book and Kbb.com. "Integrating our values within RouteOne allows financial lenders and dealers effective access to our timely and accurate values and streamlines their operations."
