Transformative Upgrades Make the Industry’s Fastest, Easiest Financing Platform Even Better

NEW YORK, NY – April 11, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Octane® (Octane Lending, Inc.®), the fintech revolutionizing the buying experience for major recreational purchases, unveiled Dealer Portal 2.0, a significantly upgraded version of its industry-leading dealer platform. Effective immediately, Octane’s over 4,000 Powersports and Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) dealer partners can deliver an even faster, easier financing experience for their customers using Dealer Portal 2.0. Innovative new features include the first-of-its-kind Leads Page, a reimagined Work-the-Deal page, and shorter, smarter credit applications through the company’s in-house lender, Roadrunner Financial®, Inc.

“We deeply value our dealer partners and continually refine our platform to meet their needs,” said Mike Dushane, Chief Product Officer at Octane. “By listening to dealers and building a product that directly addresses their feedback, Dealer Portal 2.0 debuts industry-first functionalities and delivers the best financing experience for customers.”

The Leads Page simplifies closing a deal by helping dealers more easily search, monitor, and filter customer applications and better manage their workflow. For each lead, dealers can view vehicle and buyer information, convert leads into applications, and track an application’s status. Dealers enrolled in SafeCheck™ can also access free, no impact credit reports directly from the page to better understand their customers’ buying power. Furthermore, dealers can save time by optimizing prequalified buyers; the tool aggregates new, prequalified leads from Octane’s digital channels—its soft-pull tools Octane Prequal™ and Prequal Flex™, its Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners, and its renowned Octane Media™ properties, which include Cycle World®, UTV Driver®, and Motorcyclist—enabling dealers to personalize follow-up with customers.

In this release, Octane also reimagined its Work-the-Deal page to be more intuitive, dynamic, and efficient. After a customer’s credit application is approved, dealers can filter available loan terms, APRs, and monthly payment options for their customers seamlessly while also taking advantage of enhanced reporting functionalities.
