LOS ANGELES – Westlake Financial Services, a technology-driven auto finance company, announces its availability on RouteOne’s eContracting platform, which streamlines processes to a rapidly growing list of dealers nationwide, reports Business Wire.
Westlake Financial is a tech-savvy company constantly implementing cost-saving and innovative technology-based initiatives to foster business and meet the demands of its expanding customer base. “For Westlake, RouteOne eContracting is all about providing faster funding to our dealers,” explains Ian Anderson, Group President of Westlake Financial Services. “We’ve always been about auto-decisioning, and we see this as a step toward auto-originations.”
Westlake’s strategic advantage includes offering a comprehensive, fast and secure originations process. This process is supported by pairing dealerships with knowledgeable credit analysts to assist them in buying deals, verifying stipulations and funding.
“RouteOne is a great partner to Westlake and to our dealers,” stated Mark Vazquez, Westlake’s Senior Vice President of Sales. “Launching eContracting will add efficiencies in our originations process by getting decisions faster, reducing contract errors, and in the end, providing better service through faster funding.”
Using RouteOne’s eContracting platform, dealers receive electronic validation and distribution, ability to audit throughout the entire contracting life-cycle, and a user-friendly signing process that can be done using signature pads, tablets or nearly any touch-screen device.
“We are pleased to expand our finance source availability to our dealer customers,” stated Mike Jurecki, RouteOne CEO. “Both RouteOne and Westlake are passionate about technology and bringing efficiencies to the entire vehicle purchasing process. eContracting accomplishes this in many ways including seamless sharing of data and comprehensive validation prior to the customer signature, all which lead to faster funding and improved Customer Satisfaction Index.”
