Aimbridge Lending Solutions Releases AimbridgeConnect 2.0

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--Aimbridge^® Lending Solutions, an integrated provider of multi-channel, multi-lender auto buying and lending services, announced the release of its second-generation workflow management platform, AimbridgeConnect™ 2.0. The platform, which was recently enhanced to offer direct, indirect and Web-based lending, better leverages the system’s core capabilities in a new, more intuitive format.

Aimbridge bridges the gap between the automotive dealer, buyer and credit union lender, taking automotive sales from beginning to end with ease and efficiency. AimbridgeConnect 2.0 is a full suite of products that enables Aimbridge’s lenders to immediately verify automobile loan applications and track them through the entire origination process. The suite includes AppLine™, the online application, LoanTrack, the tracking and queuing tool and PowerBridge™, which connects the Aimbridge lending system to the credit union’s core processing system.

“Many of the AimbridgeConnect 2.0 enhancements are a direct response to the needs of our customers,” David Lindsey, vice president of technology and product development at Aimbridge, said. “We leveraged our close customer relationships for feedback to guide our improvements. As a result, our new platform is easier to navigate and helps make the entire lending process a little smoother.”

AimbridgeConnect 2.0 is based on Microsoft’s .NET 2.0 framework which allows greater flexibility when connecting to and working with disparate systems. The platform has a number of user interface and navigation enhancements, including enhanced data organization so that information is easier to find and read. AimbridgeConnect 2.0 also features a market and customer level communication board allowing Aimbridge to post messages for customers about things such as market news, new products, tips and case studies.

Based in southern Florida, Peoples Credit Union is one of Aimbridge’s first customers to begin using AimbridgeConnect 2.0. The credit union staff has found that the enhancements offer easier navigation and additional communication methods.

“AimbridgeConnect has always been a great program and the improvements make it even easier to use,” Jeff Miller, president at People Credit Union, said. “It’s a lot more user friendly and it’s great to be able to leave notes for the dealership or credit union staff. I’m very hands-on and I really enjoy working with a company that uses customer feedback to continuously improve its products.”
