Built as a web service, PaymentDriver can be seamlessly integrated into online vehicle research and inventory workflows on portals, manufacturer and dealer websites as well as mobile applications. Retailers have the ability to customize lender and rate choices to provide round-the-clock access to the best available rates and programs.
"A monthly payment is the key to vehicle affordability rather than the MSRP price tag, and that calculation must be accurate," said Amit Maheshwari, general manager, DealerTrack Data Services. "We believe that PaymentDriver delivers a level of accuracy and breadth of lenders unparalleled in the industry since it is the only calculation solution leveraging up-to-date finance rates and residuals from hundreds of lending institutions."
According to Maheshwari, "PaymentDriver is a valuable addition to Chrome's solutions in the online vehicle research and purchasing space. Together with DealerTrack's newly released CreditOnline product, a new solution enabling a consumer to complete a credit application directly from a dealership's website, PaymentDriver can help deliver an engaging online financing experience that converts online consumers into highly qualified prospects."
