What You Will Learn in Subprime Technology Integration Training
Subprime dealerships win on speed, precision, and accountability. When your CRM, DMS, LOS, collections platform, payment processor, GPS vendor, and accounting system share consistent data, your team can move faster with fewer errors. This training breaks down the practical steps to integrate systems for end to end visibility from first touch to final payoff, including how to align teams, pick the right vendors, and measure results.
Core Outcomes
- Map a dealer tech stack that fits subprime underwriting and collections workflows
- Configure APIs and data exchanges to eliminate duplicate entry and errors
- Automate payment reminders, consent tracking, and audit trails for compliance
- Use dashboards and alerts to manage KPIs in real time
Systems and Integrations We Cover
We focus on integrations that shorten cycle time and improve portfolio performance:
- CRM to DMS: Push lead, deal, and customer data accurately with required disclosures and consent flags
- DMS to LOS and underwriting: Pre fill applications, verify stip data, and standardize decision documentation
- Credit decisioning to e sign: Deliver compliant contracts with audit ready metadata and version control
- Payment processing: Tokenized ACH and card, autopay enrollment, IVR, and text to pay with TCPA consent capture
- Telematics and payment enforcement: GPS, starter interrupt, and rules based reminders tied to portfolio risk tiers
- Collections platform: Queue strategies, dialer integration, call recording, and promise to pay automation
- Accounting: Summary or line level posting, reconciliation rules, and month end close automation
Integration Blueprint: From Assessment to Go Live
Every dealership is unique. We provide a blueprint you can tailor to your current stack and market.
- Discovery and current state mapping: Document user roles, data fields, bottlenecks, and manual re work points
- Vendor and API evaluation: Compare capabilities, rate limits, payload formats, webhooks, and security controls
- Data model and field normalization: Standardize names, picklists, consent flags, and date formats across systems
- Workflow design: Define triggers for underwriting, funding, first payment due, and early stage collections queues
- Security and access: Role based permissions, least privilege, MFA, and audit logging across apps and integrations
- Data migration and testing: Cleanse legacy data, run parallel tests, and validate reconciliation to the penny
- Change management: Role specific training, SOP updates, job aids, and reinforcement coaching
Compliance by Design
Integrations must support compliance. We show you how to embed risk controls directly in your tech stack so compliance monitors itself wherever possible.
- UDAAP and fair lending: Consistent decisioning logic, explanation fields, and standardized documentation
- FCRA and GLBA: Consumer data protection, secure transmission, encryption in transit and at rest, and access logs
- TCPA and E Sign: Capture consent flags with timestamps and channel preferences, and store certificate artifacts
- Record retention: Automated retention schedules and immutable logs for audits

Performance KPIs and Dashboards
An integrated stack should surface leading indicators you can act on. We teach how to build or configure dashboards that combine operational and portfolio KPIs.
- Lead response time, appointment set rate, and show rate from CRM events
- Underwriting cycle time, stip clearance rate, and exception counts by source
- First payment default percentage, roll rate by bucket, and cure percentage after contact
- RPC, PTP kept, and promise slippage trend tied to contact strategy and channel mix
- Charge off rate, recovery rate, and loss severity by program and FICO band
Role Based Training Paths
Great integrations fail without adoption. We deliver training by role so each team member knows the clicks that matter and the why behind the workflow.
- Sales and BDC: Lead capture, consent, handoff rules, and appointment workflows powered by CRM to DMS sync
- Underwriting: Decision tree usage, documentation standards, and e sign packaging with automated checks
- Funding and accounting: Posting rules, reconciliation, and exception handling with clear audit trails
- Collections: Queue logic, dialer campaigns, consent management, and dispute workflows
- Management: KPI dashboards, alert thresholds, and weekly performance routines
30 60 90 Day Integration Plan
Use this practical roadmap to reduce risk and keep momentum.
- Days 1 to 30: Current state mapping, vendor API review, data dictionary, and pilot workflow selection
- Days 31 to 60: Build integrations, run parallel tests, train pilot users, and validate KPIs and reconciliations
- Days 61 to 90: Full rollout, change reinforcement, monitoring dashboards, and backlog of enhancements
Avoid These Common Pitfalls
- Inconsistent field naming and values that break downstream reporting
- Over customizing without documenting data ownership and change control
- Skipping consent capture and channel preferences that exposes TCPA risk
- Ignoring reconciliation until month end, then scrambling to fix gaps

Frequently Asked Questions
Start with CRM to DMS to underwriting to ensure clean data flow from lead to decision, then add e sign and payment processing for faster funding. Collections and telematics follow to improve early stage payment performance and reduce roll rates.
Most dealers see first wins in 30 to 45 days with a pilot workflow. A full stack rollout with training, testing, and reconciliations usually completes in 60 to 90 days depending on vendor APIs, data quality, and the number of locations.
Yes. We design consent capture, decision documentation, role based access, encryption, and immutable audit logs into each workflow so your data supports UDAAP, FCRA, GLBA, TCPA, and state requirements with clear evidence trails.
Not always. Many wins come from configuring APIs, webhooks, and data mapping in tools you already use. When vendor gaps exist, we provide a selection framework that compares capabilities, costs, and roadmap alignment before you switch.
Track cycle time from lead to approval, contract funding time, first payment default, roll by bucket, RPC, PTP kept, and reconciliation exceptions. Set baselines before integration and monitor weekly dashboards to confirm sustained gains.
