New Features
Lender Management at Dealership Level
Enabled dealership-level lender selection configuration with up to 6 lenders, supporting both default selections and transaction-level overrides. System includes search functionality, empty state handling when no LOS provider is configured, and integration with RouteOne and DealerTrack platforms (VFI-2566, VFI-2471, VFI-2565).
Alternative Finance Terms for Deals
Launched multi-term functionality enabling dealers to offer alternative financing options (e.g., 72 vs 75 months) within the same deal presentation.
