AUSTIN – IAS announced that as a lead sponsor of the F&I Industry Summit, they will feature hands-on demonstrations of their revolutionary tablet based software SmartPad on multiple tablet devices during the F&I Industry Summit in booth #119.


IAS is also sponsoring F&Idol, the F&I talent search powered by SmartEye, the company’s transaction-based video and audio recording system. The contest will recognize the best F&I product presentations in five of the most popular categories: Vehicle Service Contracts, GAP, Tire & Wheel, Key Replacement and Theft-Deterrent at the Industry Summit.

IAS executives will be on site to hand over an F&Idol plaque and a $1,000 cash prize to each of the finalists along with an additional $2,500 cash prize and F&Idol trophy to the overall winner.


“We are pleased to play a large role at the upcoming F&I Industry Summit which is an ideal venue to demonstrate our recently released tablet based software, SmartPad.” said Bob Corbin, President and CEO of IAS.


“Our agents and dealers alike have found the technology to be both soundly designed and exciting to use at dealerships. In this challenging environment, profits and customer satisfaction are at an all time high priority for dealerships. Helping solve both of these problems with one, simple software solution is a very exciting prospect.”


Additionally, IAS will be demonstrating their highly anticipated EZ-Register solution, a web based application that allows dealer business offices to electronically register customers.


EZ-Register helps dealerships eliminate negative commissions due to rating or other pricing errors. The simple, web based system prevents the vast majority of classification and rating errors, and in many cases requires less data entry than standard IAS report forms.

“EZ-Register is a fast, free, and easy way for the business office to remit the correct amount of money for each contract,” said Matt Nowicki, director of information technology at IAS.


“In addition to a streamlined contract remittance, EZ-Register helps dealerships eliminate negative commissions due to ratings or other errors. It’s a win-win for all parties involved.”
