ISELIN, N.J. — F&I software provider Darwin Automotive announced the release of U-Draw, a “next-generation” tool for Darwin users nationwide. During the vehicle financing process, F&I professionals can use U-Draw to draw on, mark up, and circle items on mobile devices anywhere in the world — at the dealership, at home, or from any location.

Executives said that, much like a paper menu, U-Draw improves communication by allowing users circle payments or talking points, helping each customer quickly understand their choices and points of discussion. Once F&I products have been presented and selected, all the drawing, underlining, and circling disappear. The customer then signs electronically.

“We aren’t just talking about the future of F&I, we are delivering in the present.”

“Our dealers have always been able to connect to customers anywhere in the world remotely. However, a technology that combines paper and digital has never before been used in F&I — this is a first!” said Darwin CEO Phillip Battista. “We are thrilled to release U-Draw to our customer base as a value-add for no cost to aid them in selling more F&I products. U-Draw will redefine the concept of paper meets digital. We aren’t just talking about the future of F&I, we are delivering in the present.”
