F&I Administration Announces SCS Auto Integration with Ristken Software Services

CHICAGO--F&I Administration Solutions, the country’s leading provider of software for the administration of automotive F&I products is pleased to announce the launch of the integration of its SCS Auto administration platform with Ristken Software Services’ MenuPro application.

The integration of the two leading 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, prepaid 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. Through this partnership, Ristken continues to focus efforts toward increasing the efficiency of F&I product sales,” said Patrick DeMarco, President of Ristken.

“This is one of the first steps in our strategy to connect the SCS Auto platform to all third party systems, thereby helping our customers and their partners build speed and efficiency into their processes,” continued Trinder. “Connecting to menu systems puts our customers’ products into the dealers’ sales process in the most efficient way, and this creates the opportunity for more sales.”
