Reynolds Upgrades docuPAD
DAYTON— Reynolds and Reynolds Co. announced a number of enhancements to docuPAD, the company’s interactive F&I selling tool and document processing system. The refreshed docuPAD now sits on top of the F&I desk rather than being flush-mounted into an F&I producers work station. The screen also is 50 percent larger.
“More than a half-million vehicles already have been delivered through docuPAD, and it’s a tool that’s truly helping to reinvent the F&I experience for dealerships and their customers,” said Jon Strawsburg, vice president of product planning for Reynolds. “Dealers who use docuPAD are finding that they are able to set themselves apart from other dealers and achieve important results: increased accuracy, improved compliance, more F&I selling time and more revenue.”
The latest software enhancements to docuPAD include direct integration with the Reynolds ERA and POWER dealership management systems (DMS), which helps further improve the entire deal-closing process for dealerships and their customers and eliminates the need for dealers to re-key deal data in the DMS, according to the company.
“DocuPAD was developed to help revolutionize the F&I process for dealerships and their customers. We have continued to refine those product attributes to further improve the customer experience and deliver business results that make a significant difference for dealers,” Strawsburg said.
Reynolds and Reynolds has an exclusive marketing relationship with COINdata, the company that originally developed docuPAD.
