Raise

After operating only in Quebec upon launch, DecisioningIT has expanded to British Columbia and Ontario. The company plans to continue expansion throughout Canada and launch in the United States. DecisioningIT has more than 100 dealers signed on to utilize its Lucy platform to provide numerous options to consumers.
Dealerships will soon also integrate the D.IT widget on their websites, allowing consumers — from prime to non-prime — to pre-qualify themselves in less than 16 seconds with several lenders. This is to become available by the end of the year.
“The dealer receives an email lead from us with all of the options available for the customer who applied for credit.”
“We’re closing gaps, we’re making connections and we’re trying to build a network — a network where everything is available for dealers and customers. Everything is visible and everything is transparent. This is how we build a better narrative for our industry,” Hoffmann said.
