CUDL Completes Two Way DMS Integration with ODE
New DMS Integration Improves Efficiencies and Streamlines Vehicle Application Process for Dealers Using CUDL Lending System.
ONTARIO, CA (September 5, 2013) — CUDL (www.cudl.com), administrators of the nation’s largest auto lending network for credit unions, consisting of over 1,000 credit unions and 10,000 auto dealers, has announced that it has completed Dealer Management System (DMS) integration of its Lending System with Open Dealer Exchange (ODE), along with its parent companies’, ADP and Reynolds and Reynolds, Dealership Management Systems.
As a result of the integration, CUDL offers direct credit application integration for ADP and Reynolds & Reynolds users from the dealer’s DMS directly to the CUDL lending system. With the direct connection from Open Dealer Exchange, CUDL has improved processing efficiencies for their credit union partners and members.
“The success of any new dealer facing solution is measured by those whom are intended to use it; the dealers,” says Steve Luyckx; General Manager Open Dealer Exchange, LLC. “The ODE – CUDL relationship is delivering workflow solutions that enable efficiencies to many lenders who in turn service many more dealers. We are very pleased to have this credit application milestone deploying to the market with queued demand and look forward to expanding the CUDL – ODE market presence.”
The integration between CUDL and ODE provides dealers with the unique ability to send application data to CUDL from their DMS, as well as be able to send application data from CUDL back to their DMS. As a result, the marketplace now has a solution that provides true two-way integration capabilities, eliminating double entry of application data, and further streamlining the entire application process for both dealers and credit unions using the CUDL system.
“As a result of our partnership with Open Dealer Exchange, we’re able to further streamline the entire application process between our credit union and auto dealer partners,” notes Jerry Neemann, executive vice president of CUDL Automotive and strategic alliances. “By introducing this new two-way integration, we’ve improved the loan application process for dealers, while increasing auto loan opportunities for credit unions.”
