DriveCentric’s Send Credit App streamlines the process of collecting customer information and automatically updates the CRM, enhancing accuracy and efficiency. The primary function is to ensure that the customer’s details are accurately captured and managed within the CRM, aiding in a smoother and more precise financing process.

Accessing Credit App

  • Navigate to the Customer Card in DriveCentric.

  • Locate the “Send Credit App” button in the Credit App screen under Actions.

Sending Credit App

  • Click on the “Send Credit App” button.

  • Choose the preferred method (email and/or text) after ensuring the customer is opted into texting and has a valid email.

  • With permissions, you can impersonate another team member.

  • The link allows your customer to securely fill out their information and will remain active for 24 hours. After expiration, a new link will need to be sent for further use.

  • Click “Send” to provide the customer with a secure link to complete the credit application.

Notification and Activity Log

Once your customer submits their credit application, the system will:

  • Send the users associated with the deal a notification.

  • Update the activity log to show the status of the application and any changes made.

Customer’s View

From the customer’s perspective:

  • Customers will receive a straightforward text or email with a link to fill out a credit application.

  • This link includes a notification that it expires in 24 hours for added security.

  • Upon clicking the link, customers will be directed to a secure site where they can fill out the necessary information and submit the form.

  • They will receive a confirmation message once the documents are successfully sent.

  • If the customer forgets to fill out a required field, the system will mark the category with a red exclamation mark and the missing field(s) will be highlighted in red and marked "Field is required".
