The International Auto Finance Network Awards recognized the achievements of the auto finance industry, with White Clarke Group walking away with two of the technology titles.

Held in London at the Hilton Tower Bridge last week as a follow-up to the International Auto Finance Network (IAFN) Spring Conference, more than 200 industry professionals attended the awards ceremony that recognizes organizations and individuals for their achievements in operations management, leadership, customer service, competitive performance and innovation.

White Clarke Group received the Best Use of Technology title, which recognizes 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 Customer Direct module, which is a CALMS product component that covers the application for finance through the auto finance captive’s website, or a website owned by the captive. Key features include: vehicle configurator, customer application capture, integrated credit scoring and dealer locator.

White Clarke Group also received the title of Point-of-Sale Innovation, an award 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 Fleet Driver and Fleet Manager Portals all went toward securing the award in this category. Benefits of the component include organizational agility and multi-channel mobile platforms accessible from all devices.

Last year White Clarke Group was awarded Personality of the Year (Ed White, president and CEO) and Best Point-of-Sale Product Innovation.

“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 R&D. We thank all of our staff for their commitment and tremendously hard work,” White said.
