Digital Contracting on Dealertrack uniFI provides a true digital workflow that makes deals and contracts easier for dealers to build and submit — with aftermarket contracts and digital trailing document support for faster funding.
When we speak of "digital contracting" on the Dealertrack uniFI platform, we are talking about a purely paperless funding package. For dealers, it includes dynamic funding checklists not offered by others in the industry, real time error display, multiple device support, point of sale capture, digital trailing doc support, and a faster, easier sign and review process.
We have enhanced our contracting solution to make it faster, easier and better for the user on Dealertrack. Some differentiators include:
Contracts and funding package documents can be signed on most tablets 9" or greater as well as desktop devices.
Digital Contracting can import deal data from the following DMS providers:
Yes, the dealership needs to have an eContracting subscription and needs to be upgraded to Dealertrack uniFI to use the enhanced benefits of Digital Contracting.
Yes, upgrades are free to dealerships and will be required as we phase out of Dealertrack classic. The only charge for these dealerships will be their subscription charge for Digital Contracting which is a monthly fee.
You can view the list of lenders that are currently available here.
Assisted Remote Signing is a solution from Dealertrack for finalizing a deal remotely using Dealertrack's latest technology on the Dealertrack uniFI ® platform called Digital Delivery. This solution helps to deliver a secure signing solution direct to the consumer's device and create an authoritative copy of the contract via an assisted session. Using this Dealertrack solution, the Dealer and Buyer (and if applicable, the co-buyer) are not in the same physical location(s) but are required to be on the phone/video conference. The dealer guides the buyer through the documents to review and sign while being on the phone and/or video conference.
Dealers create a one-time pairing code that allows the consumer to review and electronically sign deal documents in Dealertrack uniFI® including the funding package their home or other location. The Dealer and Buyer (and co-buyer if applicable) are not in the same physical location(s) but are required to be on the phone/video conference. The dealer guides the buyer through the documents to review and sign while being on the phone and/or video conference. The consumer's device can be unpaired at any time, and automatically unpairs after 2 hours.

The assisted Remote Signing solution is supported on multiple devices. Supported devices include Windows, Mac, iPad, iPad Pro, Microsoft Surface, Galaxy Tab A/E, and other devices. The screen must be 9 inches or larger, in order to constitute a legal electronic review of the contract. If the device is not touchscreen, the customer can use a mouse or touchpad to create a signature.
Yes, and we are asking that all dealerships ask the user to print/download their documents after agreeing to the e-sign disclosure agreement. The buyer can click the "Download" button on the documents to be signed in order to download or print on their personal printer.
Yes. If the Buyer and Co-buyer are in the same location, the dealer can send the deal to both to sign and the signing solution will indicate whose turn it is to sign.
If the Buyer and Co-buyer are in different locations, the dealer can send the deal first to the Buyer, and then pair the Co-buyer's device at a second location.
If the Buyer or co-buyer do not sign on same day the verification expires at 3AM following day. If the contract is signed by either party, the dealer has 5 days to capture the other signature before it expires.
We recommend that the dealership uses their Compliance tools (subscription required) to confirm the customers identity through Red Flags and OFAC. We also strongly recommend asking Out of Wallet Questions to further confirm the customers identity since they are not in front of the customer. When delivering the vehicle, it is also important to confirm that the buyer has identification available to confirm they are the one who signed the contract.

In 2020, Dealertrack announced that it entered into an agreement with Superior Integrated Solutions (SIS), the provider of the Darwin Menu Solution, to offer an integration between Dealertrack's paperless credit workflow and Darwin's leading F&I menu solution.
Darwin brings the latest in analytics and mobile technology to Dealertrack's powerhouse platform. The result is less keystrokes and more deal data from Darwin's final menu, telling the dealer which aftermarket products were accepted and which were declined by the customer and how those choices affect monthly payment, term of loan and cash down.
Through the connections with Darwin Menu, Dealerships can:
a. Export the Credit App from Dealertrack uniFI® to Darwin Menu
b. Import the Signed final menu and aftermarket contracts created in Darwin into Dealertrack F&I
If a dealership has Digital Contracting — the data from Darwin will be automatically added into the contract and available in the funding package ready to be sent to the lender.
If a dealership has Compliance — all data from Darwin will be stored in the deal jacket for up to 7 years.
Dealerships can export their credit app into Darwin Menu and then import the menu data and contract back into Dealertrack. To learn the steps, view our how-to guide.
No, the dealership needs to have Darwin Menu, be using Dealertrack uniFI and have signed up for the integration with Darwin. If they want to send the contracts digitally to their lender, then they would need Digital Contracting.
Dealerships still need to be logged into Darwin's platform in order to use their system. There is a button within Dealertrack to transfer the data from the credit application to Darwin Menu. The information can then be picked up within Darwin. Once the Menu is presented, all data and contracts can be transferred over to Dealertrack and imported into the deal jacket.
If you have a question on Darwin Menu, you should contact Darwin support at:
(732) 781-9010 or support@darwinautomotive.com. If the question is related to Digital Contracting or exporting/importing from Dealertrack, please reach out to Dealertrack F&I Support.
No, you can add F&I aftermarket products directly within the deal by using the "Aftermarket Standalone" feature within Dealertrack uniFI®. Within the feature you can add F&I products and obtain accurate quotes. The aftermarket contracts can then be eSigned in-store or remotely. To learn how to add, remit or void aftermarket products click here.
Dealertrack has connections to the largest aftermarket network through F&I Express. To learn more about F&I Express and which providers are available, click here.
If your dealership is set up, you will see "Aftermarket" available on the left-hand navigation on your deal jacket. When you click "Aftermarket" you should be able to see the list of available products and rating information.
If you do not see this listed on your deal jacket, please reach out to us to get the Aftermarket product activated.
