F&I Administration Integrates with Ristken Software Services
CHICAGO — F&I Administration Solutions, a software provider for the administration of automotive F&I products, integrated its SCS Auto administration platform with Ristken Software Services’ MenuPro application.
The integration of the products will enable dealers to get real-time quotes and pricing. As a result, all F&I products administered through the SCS Auto platform, including extended service contracts, GAP, pre-paid maintenance, appearance protection, paintless dent repair and more can be presented through MenuPro with accurate pricing.
“MenuPro subscribers can now get immediate, accurate pricing on any product administered through SCS Auto by any of our provider customers,” said David Trinder, CEO of F&I Administration Solutions. “In addition, because we are connecting MenuPro to the same rating software that our provider customers’ use, any updates made to rates by a provider will instantly be available to dealers, resulting in increased time and cost efficiencies.”
“We are excited about our partnership with F&I Administration Solutions because it further enhances value to our dealer customers and the industry service providers,” said Patrick DeMarco, president of Ristken. “Through this partnership, Ristken continues to focus efforts toward increasing the efficiency of F&I product sales.”
