Compli Releases Compliance Management System Tailored to Auto Dealer Market

Popular Compliance Management System Now Provides New Tools for Compliance Reporting Across Locations

Portland, Ore. — March 21, 2005 — Compli® unveils product aimed specifically at compliance issues in the auto dealer segment. Compli’s flagship compliance management system, Compli Director™, is a Web-based compliance solution that helps dealers minimize compliance risk by ensuring all employees work within regulatory guidelines and follow company policies and procedures relating to operations management, sales administration, F&I sales, consumer communications, customer handling and employment practices, among others.

The Compli Director compliance management system provides an automated and organized environment that distributes policies and procedures, tracks who has read and signed them, and delivers training and assessments. This keeps dealers in compliance with the maze of regulations affecting their business while allowing them to easily document and demonstrate compliance to insurers, auditors, the public and the courts.

New Tools for Compliance Reporting by Dealership/Location

As a comprehensive compliance management system for dealers, Compli Director allows dealers to organize and oversee a closed-loop framework for managing compliance — a framework that engages and safeguards the entire dealership group at every location.

Compli Director allows monitoring and tracking of compliance statistics by compliance risk area (employment practices, F&I, etc.) as well as by dealership, franchise and location. It now also provides monitoring and tracking of specific groups, teams, or functional areas. This allows owners and managers to use compliance statistics to pinpoint areas of compliance risk across the entire auto group, while maintaining confidentiality and keeping compliance information firewall between locations if necessary.

“No industry is more exposed to potential compliance issues than auto dealers,” says Compli’s VP of Marketing, Dale Paulin. “It’s truly a daunting task for most dealers to navigate the maze of state and federal regulations that affect nearly every aspect of their business. Providing the tools and a framework to make sense of the potential compliance risks is what our compliance management system is all about. It allows dealers to engage the right employees with the right compliance information at the right time and keeps them from making potentially costly mistakes.”

Staying Ahead of Potential Compliance Problems
“With nine dealerships and around 500 employees, managing compliance using a manual process just didn’t work for us anymore,” says Dave Blewett, president of Kendall Auto Group in Eugene, Oregon. “There were too many opportunities for someone to make a potentially costly mistake that could hurt our financial position and our reputation. Compli Director automates our compliance programs and gives me the reporting I need to head off potential problems before they occur.”

Taking the Fear and Pain out of Managing Compliance

Compli Director allows anytime/anywhere access — from the service bay to the executive office. It can be easily scaled and adapted to each organization’s specific needs. In addition, it’s easy to install, administer and maintain — a plus for dealers with limited IT resources — even across multiple locations.

Compli Director ensures that critical compliance information, such as policies, guidelines, trainings and assessments, are delivered consistently — and to the right people at the right time. Compli Director has the flexibility to handle virtually any area of organizational risk that corresponds to those lines of insurance that are of particular concern for auto dealers. Areas such as:
• F&I Sales
• Wage & Hour Compliance
• Truth in Advertising
• Harassment
• GLBA Compliance
• Hirings/Terminations
• Performance Reviews
• Truth in Lending
• Workers Comp
• USA PATRIOT Act Compliance
