AppOne Forms Strategic Alliance with Autosave

BATON ROUGE, La.--AppOne, a provider of Internet-based risk mitigation and financial technology to banks, auto finance companies and independent auto dealers throughout the continental United States, has formed an alliance with Autosave®, a vehicle after-market warranty and marketing specialist. The alliance expands the range of services for AppOne’s growing dealer base by offering integrated vehicle service contracts and other products.

As part of the alliance, Autosave’s 5,000 independent auto dealers have access to the AppOne system, an integrated, Internet-based loan origination and processing platform that connects independent auto dealers with lenders. AppOne is also making Autosave’s products and services available to its own network of dealers.

The technology integration offers many benefits to dealers including online form printing, real-time pricing and coverage quotes as well as automated policy enrollment and payment, in which AppOne will remit the dealer cost of products directly to Autosave. The alliance also benefits the consumer with its new integrated system offering an improved level of service for those buying vehicle service contracts by providing real time enrollment data to Autosave allowing for ease of claims handling by the administrator, the consumer, and the repair facility.

“The alliance not only greatly benefits the dealer with its enhanced paperwork process and more efficient way of making payments for after-market products it equally benefits the consumer by offering better protection, and service,” said Lee Domingue, CEO of AppOne. “This technology integration yields to a more effective way of conducting business while bringing better customer service to car buyers.”

“Autosave is delighted to help our dealers gain access to a wider range of lenders through our alliance with AppOne,” said Paul Pawlusiak, president of Autosave. “Our combined services will safeguard and accelerate the loan-transaction process for both the dealer and consumer.”
