Why Dealerships Need a Powerful Credit Reporting Solution

Soft Pull Solutions software allows you to perform soft pull credit checks from your website. This service drastically simplifies the process because it will enable you to quickly pre-qualify a consumer for their big purchase. An additional benefit is that a consumer doesn't need to provide you with extensive personal information (date of birth or social security number) or spend valuable time filling out an extended credit application.

Running this check also saves time and money when someone comes into your dealership. Simplifying the process of running the credit check and pre-qualifying consumers lowers the stress of making these large purchases, which allows you to close faster and ultimately make more sales.

When making these large sales, consumers often require a loan which requires a credit check. Running a hard check can impact a person's credit score, while a soft check won't. When you have an idea of the complete picture of their credit score, you can efficiently negotiate seamlessly. This process of quickly gaining a complete and accurate credit report saves both you and the consumer time and money.

Our software can help you successfully run this check to pre-approve your consumers quickly and efficiently if you require a hard check rather than a soft pull.

Benefits of Soft Pull Credit Reports

Prequalify Customers

The ability to gain a complete, accurate credit report that doesn't impact the consumer's credit score allows you to pre-qualify customers for auto loans. This knowledge allows you to negotiate accurately and be informed on what the consumer can purchase.

This knowledge is a benefit for you but also the consumer. It removes some of the stress of making large purchases (like a car, boat, or trailer). It also provides your company with vital information to evaluate risk and fully understand the consumer. The data is cross-referenced to catch any fraudulent activities or red flags within the consumer's history. This service ensures that your lending decisions are made with the most accurate information available.

Save Time

Utilizing our software allows you to make informed decisions about loans, negotiations, and consumers through accurate information. Generating these reports through our software will save you time and effort.

Consumers are happy to have this type of report run because it doesn't impact their credit score, but it still provides you with the information needed to pre-approve them. With our software, you are able to cut out time that would have been wasted gaining this pre-approval information from other sources. It saves you time while also saving your client's time.
