Before I stepped into my role as Finance Manager at Windish RV in August 2023, our F&I process utilized both our DMS and Dealertrack for contracting, each of them supplying what the other lacked. There had been discussions about making a change. The dealership needed a way to make each step of our contracting process centralized as opposed to going back and forth between two systems and double-entering data.
These issues cost time and money, and opened Windish RV up to risk. I used AppOne® at two previous employers and realized it’s a must-have. Our dealership mentioned looking at AppOne while I interviewed, and I took the opportunity to strongly encourage it. The switch was made when I started. The problems that added extra steps and slowed the dealership down were now eliminated.
AppOne saves us so much time by auto-populating forms and keeping all our important information in one place. As an example, the Windish RV standard used to be to hand-fill Form 8300 and other deal documents. Now, using the auto-populate feature in AppOne saves us time and ensures that everything is accurate, preventing risk for the dealership.
With our four dealerships completing a combined 3,200 deals a year on average, this time-savings is crucial. It’s easy to overlook small mistakes with that volume, but AppOne ensures that those mistakes don’t get made and helps our business keep every step streamlined and hassle-free.
