Zurich Adds eContracts to F&I Rate Track
SHAUMBURG, Ill. – Zurich is helping automobile dealers streamline the remittance process for all their Zurich F&I products by adding electronic consumer contracts (eContracts) and electronic contract submission to its already advanced, web-enabled sales and contract management process system – F&I Rate Track.
Zurich first introduced F&I Rate Track to Zurich’s automobile dealership F&I customers in 2008 to quote Zurich F&I products.
“Adding eContracts and the electronic submission functionality to F&I Rate Track is one of the many ways our team in Zurich’s F&I division is looking out for dealers,” said Vincent Santivasi, regional F&I manager for Zurich North America Commercial’s Direct Markets unit.
A few of the many benefits to this new functionality include the ability to:
Create electronic contracts and print them on a plain-paper printer;
Automatically send electronic contracts to Zurich; and
Ensure the contract is complete before printing and submitting it to Zurich.
