LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. -- DealerTrack Aftermarket Services Inc., a subsidiary of DealerTrack Holdings Inc., announced that the Allstate credit division has joined the DealerTrack aftermarket network.
DealerTrack Holdings is a provider of software and data solutions that uses the Internet to link auto dealers with financial institutions. The aftermarket network is a solution for real-time aftermarket contract rating, quote generation and digital contracting. The Allstate credit division provides guaranteed auto protection products.
"We are very excited about this breakthrough agreement with Allstate credit division," said Mark O'Neil, chairman and CEO of DealerTrack. "Allstate credit division's GAP products are offered by approximately 8,500 franchised new car dealers in the U.S., including privately branded programs. We believe their decision to join our aftermarket network will help to drive adoption and usage of the aftermarket network platform by both dealers and other aftermarket providers."
The Allstate credit division will bring their new vehicle service contracts and paintless dent repair products to the aftermarket network. As part of the DealerTrack and Allstate partnership, Allstate will use DealerTrack's SCS Express solution, which is a Web-based platform that helps automotive aftermarket providers to manager their back-office processes. SCS Express integrates and automates the entire administrative process.
"The DealerTrack aftermarket network and DealerTrack's SCS express platform will enable both Allstate credit division and our dealer customers to streamline our work flows and realize significant efficiencies," said Tony Wanderon, president of Allstate credit division. "By offering real-time data and pricing, as well as digital contracting through the DealerTrack platform, we will reduce administrative costs and minimize delays and contract errors, thus enhancing consumer satisfaction with the overall car buying experience."
The Allstate credit division is one of 37 providers that have joined the DealerTrack aftermarket network.
