Wolters Kluwer Provides Compliance Documents for Microsoft’s DMS Solution
MINNEAPOLIS — AVAbahn, the North American provider of Microsoft-based solutions and services for automotive retailers, is incorporating Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ motor vehicle retail installment contracts and DocOne printing engine into the Dealer Management System for Microsoft Dynamics AX (MSDMS). The MSDMS technology platform helps franchise dealers simplify every aspect of their business operations, from the sales process to service departments to inventory. Using Wolters Kluwer's motor vehicle installment contracts and DocOne document printing engine and compliance validation tool, MSDMS can help dealers ensure they are meeting current regulations governing auto finance. DocOne makes the finance process easier for dealers by providing data merging and population of Wolters Kluwer’s warranted Bankers Systems retail installment contracts, which help ensure auto loan documentation is accurate and compliant. DocOne builds the correct selection of forms and contracts based on the particular lending and regulatory requirements, and validates the data to maintain compliance. After a successful pilot with a large dealer group, AVAbahn’s team is excited to roll out Wolters Kluwer’s compliance tools to all of its dealer customers, according to Richard Ward, president at AVAbahn. “The Dealer Management System for Microsoft Dynamics AX is designed to make everyday business operations and processes easier for dealers,” said Ward. “Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ compliance technology and content provides a critical component by simplifying indirect finance transactions.” “DocOne and our retail installment contracts not only ease the finance process, but they also free dealers from the cost and time associated with maintaining extensive finance document libraries,” said Lee Domingue, CEO of indirect lending at Wolters Kluwer. “Working with AVAbahn we can help more franchise dealers maintain regulatory compliance and gain confidence with reliable technology and accurate data.”
