Our Vision: By combining artificial intelligence and human data, we are changing the way consumers get financed.
What started as an idea became a solution. Our solutions are built by dealers for dealers. Our team consists of industry experts and dealership owners who are dedicated to helping dealers get more consumers financed.
We saw that the world of buying cars, despite having an unimaginable potential for success and improvement, remains unexplored when it comes to generating convenience and control with self-service technology. That is why we decided to take the initiative, by striving to create a new standard in automotive lending.
By bringing together artificial machine intelligence and human-generated data, we are gradually changing the way consumers get financed from their financial institutions, reducing piles of paperwork to a single software, and hours of work into mere minutes.
