DealTrak Network Integrates with GMAC

In an industry first, motor dealer finance management system, DealTrak123 has successfully integrated with GMAC.

The integration will allow Vauxhall, Saab and Chevrolet dealers to use DealTrak123 to send finance proposals direct to GMAC, the exclusive financial service provider for the three vehicle manufacturers.

DealTrak123 is currently the only finance gateway to be integrated with GMAC as the company will only integrate with partners who are trusted within the automotive industry. All dealers using DealTrak123 now have access to finance deals from GMAC, as the network continues to grow.

Allowing this integration is DealTrak123′s unique portal, Rosetta, which processes customer information fed in from dealers, collates it into a consistent format and for Vauxhall, Saab and Chevrolet dealers then forwards it exclusively to GMAC, who in turn produces finance deals. Rosetta can be tailored to any existing finance system, to allow dealers’ access to either the entire list or just specific, pre selected lenders from DealTrak123′s network.

Peter Stewart, Bristol Street Motors said: “We have been using DealTrak123 successfully for almost two years and in that time we have seen the continuous growth of the network allowing us to access an increasing number of lenders. We are delighted that DealTrak123 now provides access to deals from GMAC.”

Andy Shuter, Managing Director of Frontline Solutions, the company behind DealTrak123 commented: “To integrate with GMAC is a fantastic achievement for DealTrak123 and highlights how it has grown into the industry’s favourite finance management system.”
