Just in time to provide a little tax relief in the middle of April, Octane unveiled “Dealer Portal 2.0” — a significantly upgraded version of its industry-leading dealer platform. Octane’s 4,000+ Powersports and Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) dealer partners can deliver an even faster, easier financing experience for their customers, claims the fintech firm. “Innovative features include the Leads Page, a revamped Work-The-Deal page and shorter credit applications through the company’s in-house lender, Roadrunner Financial.
“We deeply value our dealer partners and continually refine our platform to meet their needs,” said Mike Dushane, Chief Product Officer at Octane. “By listening to dealers and building a product that directly addresses their feedback, Dealer Portal 2.0 debuts industry-first functionalities and delivers the best financing experience for customers.”
The Leads Page simplifies closing a deal by helping dealers more easily search, monitor and filter customer applications and better manage their workflow, notes Dushane. For each lead, dealers can view vehicle and buyer information, convert leads into applications, and track an application’s status. Dealers enrolled in SafeCheck can also access free, no impact credit reports directly from the page.
Octane also reimagined its Work-The-Deal page to be more intuitive, dynamic and efficient. After a customer’s credit application is approved, dealers can filter available loan terms, APRs and monthly payment options for their customers. “The updated Work-the-Deal experience has been great for both me and my customers,” said Tammy Coleman, Finance Manager at All Out Cycles in Virginia. “It provides immediate feedback on payments, terms, and more, which removes the guesswork and saves me fifteen to twenty minutes per deal. The whole process is clean, nice, and easy to use.”
Octane’s current Powersports and OPE dealer partners can access Dealer Portal 2.0 now. Dealers not currently offering financing through Roadrunner Financial can benefit from Dealer Portal 2.0 by enrolling here:
