Ed White receives award

The International Auto Finance Network (IAFN) Awards recognized the achievements of the auto finance industry during a glamorous evening in London – and White Clarke Group walked away with two of the prestigious technology titles.

The event was held at the Hilton Tower Bridge last Thursday, as a follow-up to the popular IAFN 2015 Autumn Conference. Over 200 industry professionals attended the highly-regarded awards ceremony that celebrated organizations and individuals for their achievements in operations management, leadership, customer service, competitive performance, and innovation.

White Clarke Group was presented with the following titles by the judges:

Best Use of Technology – A recognition of the best use of technological and innovative solutions to meet the needs of a retail motor finance business, a fleet leasing business or the customers/clients of one of these businesses.

White Clarke Group convinced the judges with its innovative Customer Direct module - a CALMS product component that covers the application for finance through the auto finance captive’s website, or a website owned by the captive. It offers a modern, intuitive user experience with mobile compatibility and a responsive design. Key features include: vehicle configurator, customer application capture, integrated credit scoring, and dealer locator;

Point of Sale Innovation– This award is designed to recognize the best Point-of-Sale innovation in motor finance that has been introduced within the last two years.

CALMS’ Digital Processing module as well as its innovative Fleet Driver and Fleet Manager Portals all went towards securing the award in this category. Organizational agility, complete self-serve user experience, and multi-channel mobile platforms accessible across all devices are just a few of the components’ benefits.

After last year’s awards of Personality of the Year (Ed White) and Best Point-of-Sale Product Innovation, these latest recognitions of the leading-edge technology and innovation White Clarke Group and its CALMS platform provide were a significant honor.

Ed White Group CEO summarized: “For a second year in a row we were awarded by the IAFN which is proof of our focus on innovation and continued investment in research & development.  We thank all of our staff for their commitment and tremendously hard work.”
