FT WAYNE, Ind. – VisionMenu has integrated Perma Plate, VAS (Vehicle Admin Services), ArmorAll, and TWS (Total Warranty Services) to vRate for its electronic menu. vRate is a feature of VisionMenu which allows the user to rate multiple providers and multiple products simultaneously. vRate is a “direct to the provider” electronic rating tool that will populate all of the rates that are returned by any of the providers that VisionMenu has a direct integration. Once the rates are simultaneously returned, the F&I Manager then can simply point and click their desired option for each product and package. vRate doesn’t cost providers, agents, or dealers any additional fee than what they were already paying for their menu.
“Adding these four companies brings our number of, direct to provider, integrations to 60 companies,” says Ron Martin, president of VisionMenu. “Dealers are many times using multiple providers with their F&I product mix, so it’s a tremendous benefit to them to bring back the entire rate book of what their customer and vehicle qualify for. vRate is so efficient in getting all the rates, that it makes it much easier to eContract.”
