GreatAmerica First to Integrate Credit Application Submission with SalesChain
Integration with Credit Desk Application Streamlines Credit Turn Times and Reduces Errors
(Cedar Rapids, IA) – GreatAmerica
Financial Services Corporation and SalesChain
announced the release of SalesChain’s credit desk application module featuring integration with GreatAmerica—the first integration of its kind with a finance company. SalesChain, a provider of business and sales management software, designed this application within its platform, allowing credit applications to be sent directly into the GreatAmerica credit processing system. The transition to an entirely digital process gives office equipment dealers real-time updates on their submitted credit applications and reduces manual entry errors.
“Our dealers are under pressure to find efficiencies and improvements within their dealerships. That’s why technology integration is a priority for us at GreatAmerica,” said Jennie Fisher, Senior VP and General Manager, Office Equipment Group at GreatAmerica. “By joining forces with SalesChain to help our mutual dealers stay within their application, with no manual entry, and submit applications faster—we all win.”
Sales reps can now request credit approval during the sales process without the complication of added paperwork. With only a few clicks of a button, directly from their order breakdown screen, reps will be able to send in their request for credit approval, thus saving application-processing time.
“By creating a simpler, faster, and more intuitive process for dealerships, we are not only saving them valuable time, but boosting the profitability of their entire sales force,” explained SalesChain CEO, Tim Szczygiel. “The reason SalesChain and GreatAmerica work so well together is due to our mutual focus on providing dealerships tools and services they need to succeed.”
