Southfield, Mich. – Fidelis PPM and Provider Exchange Network (PEN), a division of Open Dealer Exchange LLC, completed integration to offer dealers the ability to rate and contract for Fidelis F&I products directly through leading finance desking software for auto dealers.


The connectivity to PEN enables F&I aftermarket product e-contracting directly from the auto dealer software. Embedded into the system, e-contracting functions eliminate the need for the dealership user to access multiple applications or re-enter critical deal data in order to complete the transaction. This technology supports dealers using Reynolds and Reynolds and ADP applications, as well as other leading electronic menu systems.
