Austin, TX – September 1, 2004 - IAS, the leading provider of revolutionary F&I software and products, announces the release of SmartMenu 3.2, the most advanced menu generation software designed specifically for today's F&I departments. With an inviting and intuitive user interface and built-in tools to customize nearly every aspect of retail or lease menu, SmartMenu 3.2 enables dealerships to enhance their customer's experience and significantly increase finance profits.
Dealerships across the country have undergone tremendous change over the past few years. Dealers are now challenged to find ways to deal with negative national press coverage, greedy attorneys, and changing laws regarding customer privacy and disclosure at both the state and federal level. SmartMenu 3.2 delivers unprecedented advancements in menu generation software, featuring a "print final recap" printout with completely scalable and flexible compliance and disclosure language. These disclosure statements can be positioned in large, obvious font styles and contain scalable disclosure information depending on the recommendations of local dealer associations or dealership counsel.
"As the scrutiny of dealership processes steadily increases, we need a system that portrays our F&I product offerings in a professional and consumer-focused manner, while also facilitating our compliance efforts through disclosure, flexibility and accuracy," said Steve Straske, vice president and corporate counsel for the Ferman organization in Tampa, Florida. "We are confident that SmartMenu 3.2 will allow us to be more effective in our compliance strategy, while ensuring that we are meeting our objectives for profit and CSI."
