For the F&I office  ·  Built by a desk that hated submitting blind

Right lender. First time.
Every time.

Reserve goes to the box you submit first. Menu order decides what gets sold. Stips kill funded-deal time. Compliance flags discovered at audit cost everyone. Louie does the routing, the sequencing, the shoulder-check — before you book the deal, not after.

What every F&I manager we asked complained about

The six things that kill the reserve check.

These didn't come from a vendor focus group. They came from sitting in F&I chairs across rooftops. Same complaints, every store, every brand. Louie was built to kill each one before book.

Blind submissions, dead reserve

You shotgun the deal to four lenders and take whichever calls back first. Best-fit lender — the one with the most reserve for this FICO/term — never sees it.

↳ Outcome-Learning Lender Routing scores all 42 partners against the deal in 2 seconds. Submit to the highest-reserve match first. Reserve stays in your pocket.

Same menu order to every customer

VSC first, GAP second, paint third — for everyone. Customer with 780 FICO and 36-month term gets the same pitch as a 580 / 84-month. Both walk away light.

↳ Menu Sequencer reorders by FICO, term, vehicle age, and historic acceptance patterns. Right product, right moment, every desk.

Stip cycles that take days

Lender wants paystub, proof of residence, ref-list verification. Customer emails one doc Wednesday, another Friday. Deal sits unfunded over the weekend.

↳ Stip Clearance Workflow auto-requests, auto-reminds, auto-uploads to the lender portal. Average clearance time drops from 47 min to under 10.

Compliance flags found at audit

Three months later, the audit catches a missing OFAC scan, a Reg-Z disclosure date mismatch, or an adverse-action notice that didn't fire. Now it's a fine.

↳ Compliance Shoulder-Check runs every check before you book — OFAC, Red Flags, Reg-B, Reg-Z, FCRA. Nothing posts dirty.

Owner asking for product-level attach %

GM wants VSC attach by salesperson, by lender, by vehicle class. You're exporting from the DMS into Excel at 9pm on Sunday. Numbers never tie.

↳ Product Attach Dashboard pulls live by salesperson, lender, term band, FICO band, and vehicle class. Refreshes on every funded deal.

"The lender pulled the call" with no record

Buyer disputes a kicker rate. Lender says you accepted. You have no log of the call, the agreed rate, or the time stamp. You eat it.

↳ Every lender call logs to the deal. Recorded with consent, transcribed, kicker rate captured, time-stamped. Dispute resolves in minutes.
What you get on day one

Nine F&I modules. One pencil.

Old way vs Louie way

What changes when the desk has its own brain.

Same store. Same lenders. Same customers. The difference is whether the system makes you faster or slower, sharper or blinder.

What we claim and what we don't

We claim: the simulation engine models 91% first-look approval, +$312 PVR uplift, and 47→9 min stip clearance against a shotgun-submission baseline. Derived from 3.7M+ AI deal simulations. Full methodology at /money.

We don't claim: every store will see identical numbers. Lender mix, regional credit profile, customer base, and current menu discipline vary. The mechanism is mechanical: better-fit lender selection lifts reserve, sequenced menus lift attach, and OCR-driven stip clearance compresses funding time. The size of the lift depends on your starting baseline.

Built for the desk. Owned by the store.

$9,995 one-time license per rooftop. Every F&I manager, every desk, every deal included. No per-deal fees. No "compliance add-on" SKU. You own the platform.
