Agora Data and DealerCenter Partner to Revolutionize Auto Dealer Financing Nationwide

Transforming Auto Dealer Financing Nationwide

In a significant move to support auto dealers in enhancing their operational efficiency and profitability, Agora Data, Inc. has announced a new partnership with DealerCenter, a leading dealer management system provider. This collaboration aims to integrate advanced financing solutions seamlessly into the DealerCenter platform, enabling dealers to capitalize on unprecedented opportunities in the auto finance market.

Agora Data is recognized as a fintech trailblazer specializing in offering capital solutions particularly tailored for non-prime consumer finance markets. By joining forces with DealerCenter, which boasts a robust suite of functionalities catering to independent and used car dealerships, the duo is on track to offer comprehensive tools that empower dealers in managing their operations while maximizing profitability.

The new integration will be made available to over 20,000 auto dealers, allowing them to enroll in Agora’s financing solutions easily within the DealerCenter system. This integration promises to streamline the application process, subsequently enhancing approval rates for financing, meaning that dealers will be able to close deals more efficiently than ever. As an added advantage, the partnership is set to be rolled out nationwide by the fourth quarter of 2025.

Jeremy Beck, Agora’s Executive Vice President and Head of Sales, remarked, “This partnership is a natural fit with Agora's mission to bolster the success of the auto industry. Our goal is to empower dealers, allowing them to operate as their own captive finance companies. By embedding our solutions directly within DealerCenter, we aim to minimize friction in financing processes, expedite funding, and ultimately help dealers take greater control over their financial destinies.”

Barry Lane, the Vice President of Business Development at DealerCenter, echoed Beck’s sentiments, emphasizing the direct benefits this integration offers: “With Agora Data’s solutions now part of our platform, we enhance our promise to deliver the most innovative tools available, allowing dealers not just to access financing options but to do so with greater speed and efficiency. Together, we are setting the stage for dealers to flourish in an increasingly competitive environment.”

The implications of this collaboration are significant. Traditionally, many auto dealerships have found themselves at a disadvantage when it comes to accessing funding, often losing out on potential profits. Agora’s integration aims to rectify this by providing dealers with the means to both sell more vehicles and retain a larger share of their profits. With a focus on automation and dealer empowerment, Agora Data’s solutions are designed to keep dealers firmly in control of their sales and financing opportunities, making it easier to convert leads into sales.

Agora Data has a rich history in the automotive sector, notably pioneering the industry’s first asset-pooled non-prime auto securitization in 2020, which serves as a testament to its expertise and commitment to innovation in financial technology. By continuing to break new ground, Agora is helping loan originators and auto dealers alike to improve performance and responsibly scale operations through cutting-edge analytics and financing solutions.
