About This Automation

Finance and F&I processing at car dealerships involves manually extracting customer data, submitting credit applications, requesting lender quotes, assembling documents, and tracking signatures across multiple systems and email threads.

Automation handles credit submission, lender outreach, document generation, and signature tracking in parallel, reducing deal processing time from to per transaction. The finance team focuses on compliance review and customer service instead of data entry and email management.

Key features
Automatically extract and validate customer data from the CRM for credit bureau submission
Submit credit applications and perform AML compliance checks without manual portal entry
Send financing and insurance quote requests to all configured lenders and providers in parallel
Generate and populate F&I documents from templates with customer and vehicle details
Track document signatures and lender approvals, updating deal status automatically
Compile lender quotes and compliance findings into a summary for finance manager review

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Deal enters Finance Pendingtrigger

Purchase agreement is signed and deal status changes to Finance Pending. The automation is triggered with customer and vehicle data.

2. Extract and validate customer data

The automation pulls customer name, address, phone, email, income, employment, and vehicle details. Data is validated for completeness and format.

3. Submit credit application

Customer data is submitted to the credit bureau API. The credit report reference number is logged.

4. Request lender quotes in parallel

Lender request emails are generated and sent to all configured lenders simultaneously. Each email includes customer and vehicle details.

5. Request insurance and warranty quotes

Insurance and warranty request emails are sent to configured providers with customer and vehicle details.

6. Generate F&I documents

Finance agreement, disclosure forms, and warranty documents are generated from templates and populated with customer and vehicle data. PDFs are created and stored.

7. Send documents for signature

F&I documents are sent to the customer for electronic signature. A copy is sent to the lender.

8. Notify finance team of completion

A message is sent to the finance team with a summary of the deal, document status, and next steps. The deal record is updated with all submission details.
