Through this partnership, dealers can access Polly’s insurance quotes directly from Tekion ARC, seamlessly, in real-time, via Tekion’s Automotive Partner Cloud (APC). Insurance cost savings are presented to the dealership user for easy quoting, then offered to the dealership customer instantly. Consumers not only benefit by saving money on car insurance, they can reinvest these savings to additional products and services for their new car purchase.

“Tekion is committed to delivering value to the entire auto retail ecosystem,” says Amit Maheshwari, SVP of Business Development at Tekion. “Our partnership with Polly enables dealers a way to pleasantly surprise consumers during their vehicle purchase by presenting potential cost savings during the F&I process while reducing one more step of shopping separately for auto insurance. With the unexpected savings in monthly payment, consumers can elect to purchase additional products and services from the dealership, improving profitability for the dealer. It is a win-win for both consumers and dealers.”

“Polly is thrilled to partner with Tekion to integrate our innovative and market-leading digital insurance marketplace into Tekion’s ground-breaking ARC platform for dealerships,” said Wayne Pastore, President and COO of Polly. “Savvy consumers and forward-thinking dealers know insurance choice plays an essential role in a comprehensive and enjoyable car buying experience, and together, Polly’s partnership with Tekion delivers on their expectations.“
