LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. , a leading provider of on-demand software and data solutions for the U.S. automotive retail industry, today announced that the number of active financing sources connected to the DealerTrack(R) network has reached 500, and the cumulative number of credit applications processed has hit 200 million.

"These are truly historic milestones for DealerTrack," said Mark O'Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of DealerTrack. "We were among the industry pioneers in 2001 when the concept of a multi-lender online credit application system was still relatively new, and while we were certainly optimistic, our dramatic growth since then has exceeded our expectations. Today, many smaller financing sources that want to grow their automotive business are told by dealers that one of the most important steps they can take is to join the DealerTrack network."

"We are very pleased to connect the 500th active financing source to our network," said David Trinder, senior vice president of network solutions at DealerTrack. "Our growth has been tremendous, including the most recent addition of another 25 lenders in less than a month. We expect that the number will continue to grow given our very substantial pipeline of prospective financing sources. The processing of our 200 millionth credit application highlights the large volume of transactions flowing through our network -- and lenders increasingly want their fair share of this business."

Approximately 90 percent of all franchised automotive dealers in the United States are active users of DealerTrack's network. Through DealerTrack, dealers can electronically submit credit applications to the industry's largest and most diverse network of banks, independent finance companies, captive finance companies, credit unions and regional banks. In addition, DealerTrack offers subscription and other transaction-based products to dealers that integrate with the credit application process and provide an end- to-end dealership technology solution.

DealerTrack Announces Enhancements to its InventoryPro SolutionReal-Time, Online Access to Manheim AuctionsIntegrated Access to Carfax(R) Vehicle History Reports(TM)New 'Dashboard' View of Inventory Performance

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DealerTrack, Inc., a subsidiary of DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. , a leading provider of on-demand software and data solutions for the U.S. automotive retail industry, today announced several enhancements to its InventoryPro inventory management solution for auto dealers.

Carfax-subscribing dealers using DealerTrack's InventoryPro and BookOut solutions will have integrated, "one-click" access to Carfax Vehicle History Reports. Dealers rely on Carfax Reports to make more informed decisions about specific used vehicles they consider buying or selling. Using VIN-based information from more than 20,000 sources, Carfax Reports may highlight Carfax 1-Owner cars, vehicle usage and service records, title information and other events such as accidents or flood damage.

"We are very pleased to begin providing integrated access to Carfax Vehicle History Reports," said Mark O'Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of DealerTrack. "We believe our summary report format will be particularly valuable and unique in the industry, allowing dealers to see at a glance how many owners a car has had. Typically, single-owner vehicles sell significantly faster and at a premium to cars that have had multiple owners, which can help dealers improve their inventory turns and profitability."

"Carfax 1-Owner cars are the most sought-after vehicles on the market today," said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax. "Studies show that used car shoppers will pay up to 15 percent more for a car Carfax identifies as having only one owner. This unique enhancement to DealerTrack's solutions helps our customers ensure they stock the right vehicles in their inventory and make more money on each sale."

DealerTrack also is launching an inventory exchange that provides dealers with real-time, online access to inventory and auction data from Manheim auctions. The integration of this functionality into InventoryPro allows dealers to better manage their inventory needs from a single, central location, and enabling them to be more prepared at auctions, with detailed listings of vehicles they want to purchase.

In addition, DealerTrack is upgrading the InventoryPro user interface to provide a new "dashboard" view with an inventory performance summary and the capability to quickly drill down into various aspects of inventory performance. InventoryPro helps dealers turn their inventory faster and improve profitability by recommending specific vehicles to buy or sell, based on an analysis of each dealer's sales history. InventoryPro also provides dealers with tools to appraise and book out their inventory, enabling them to identify and quantify positive and negative equity in inventory, as well as inventory age by type and value of units.

O'Neil concluded, "With these enhancements, we believe that InventoryPro provides exceptional functionality and integrated online connectivity. It is an economical solution with analytical tools driven by cold, hard facts to help dealers leverage their valuable knowledge and instincts about their local markets."

DealerTrack Launches New 'Red Flags' Solution, Enhancing Suite of Compliance ToolsAlso Introduces the Industry's First Free Compliance Information Website, thecomplianceguide.com, and Updates Free Compliance Guide

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. , a leading provider of on-demand software and data solutions for the U.S. automotive retail industry, today announced the launch of DealerTrack RedFlags(TM), a new solution to help dealers support their identity theft prevention programs and comply with the Federal Trade Commission's recently issued "Red Flags Rule."

DealerTrack RedFlags(TM) builds on the functionality of DealerTrack's Exact ID(TM) OFAC and identity verification product. RedFlags will be offered as part of DealerTrack's DealWatch(TM) solution, the industry's leading compliance tool. In addition, DealerTrack is announcing today the launch of a new website, thecomplianceguide.com, as well as the availability of the third annual edition of its hard-copy Compliance Guide.

"With our new RedFlags solution and these groundbreaking free resources for dealers, we have further strengthened our leadership position in the compliance arena and clearly offer the industry's most comprehensive suite of compliance resources and solutions," said Mark O'Neil, chairman and chief executive officer of DealerTrack. "We are excited to provide information to assist dealers in the development of their mandatory 'Red Flags' programs, as well as an enhanced solution to automate as much of the identity verification process as possible. We have been continuously monitoring the development of the new rules since they were first proposed in 2005. Our development of DealerTrack RedFlags was driven in large part by our dialogue with the dealer community since the introduction of DealWatch and ExactID two years ago."

The new federal rule took effect January 1, 2008, and full compliance is mandatory by November 1, 2008. The rule requires auto dealers to develop and implement a written program that will help them to detect certain "red flags" that may signal identity theft, and to respond appropriately.

DealerTrack RedFlags cross-checks a customer's information against numerous databases to help make an assessment as to whether he or she may be using a false identity. It assigns a score to the customer and gives reasons for the score, so the dealer can quickly spot potential problems and make informed decisions. The solution also checks each customer against the watch list maintained by the federal Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). DealerTrack RedFlags incorporates the functionality of ExactID, but goes further by alerting dealers to potential address discrepancies, Social Security number mismatches, and credit files with fraud alerts or security freezes, among other enhancements.

A free 60-day trial of DealerTrack RedFlags will be offered to dealers using the DealerTrack platform to show them how it can become a key component of their Red Flags program required by the new FTC rule. Subscribers to DealerTrack's DealWatch will have unlimited access to RedFlags with no additional transaction fees. DealWatch, which is fully integrated with the DealerTrack network, is a comprehensive compliance solution that helps dealers protect themselves with electronic signature capture, encryption and storage of sensitive customer documents, and robust reporting of dealership activity to help prevent mistakes and costly litigation.

DealerTrack's new compliance website, thecomplianceguide.com, provides an on-line complement to DealerTrack's Compliance Guide, which was first published two years ago, and has been enhanced and expanded in the new edition. The site will also include podcasts on important industry trends, pre-recorded webinars on Red Flags and other relevant topics and articles from leading compliance experts.

"Our new website, thecomplianceguide.com, is the first and only comprehensive compliance resource that is free and online for dealers," O'Neil said. "We are ideally positioned, and fully committed, to maintaining our leadership role in supporting dealers as they strive to navigate the increasingly complex web of federal and state laws and regulatory mandates."

The new edition of the hard-copy Compliance Guide is also now available. The Compliance Guide is a free booklet designed to educate dealers about compliance issues and suggested business practices, and covers the following areas: Consumer Privacy, Data Security & Identity Theft; Credit Applications and Contracts; Marketing and Advertising; Aftermarket Selling; Arbitration, and Recordkeeping & Destruction. It also contains a glossary explaining key compliance terms.
