Fair terms for F&I software

You don't know if you're getting a fair deal — but we do.

We aggregate and analyze terms for F&I administration software. Because we see contracts across the industry, we know exactly where administrators are being overcharged and locked in.

Our mission is to level the negotiation playing field in a software space facing unprecedented consolidation.

The problem

One conglomerate dominates the market. But there are more options than you think.

When a PE-backed platform acquires its competitors, pricing discipline disappears and innovation stalls. Most will sign what's put in front of them — because they've never seen anyone else's deal.

Pricing & fees

Are your per-claim, per-contract, or seat fees in line with what others pay? Probably not.

Renewal terms

Auto-renewal windows, notice periods, and rate-lock provisions vary wildly. Most are one-sided.

Data ownership

Who owns your claims history and customer data if you switch platforms? The answer may surprise you.

Data retention

How long does your vendor hold your data after termination? What format? What cost to export?

Exit provisions

Termination fees, data migration windows, and cooperation clauses are where the real leverage lives.

SLA & uptime

Is your SLA enforceable, or just aspirational? Most boilerplate offers less protection than it appears.

How we work

Intelligence built from the full picture.

We don't guess. Because we see the terms administrators are signing across the F&I industry, we know what fair looks like — and what doesn't. That perspective is your leverage.
