Pinewood DMS now has the ability to integrate with Bumper Finance, to allow the approval and payment for work found during the Health Check process using Bumper Finance. This will give the customer the option of spreading the cost of the work over a period of months.
If a dealer has signed up for Bumper integration, the ability to enable Bumper Integration for a Workshop Department has been added.
Please Note: ASF are rebranding to Bumper as of 01/03/2021.
To get this enabled for your Pinewood DMS system, please contact your Account Manager who will be able to start the process of enabling this on your system.

Finance Amount (Min/Ma) - This field allows the dealer to enter the min amount a customer must have to apply for finance and what the Max value has been agreed by Bumper with the dealer to finance up to. If this is left blank the system will assume there are no limits to the finance.

Using the Bumper Integration in the VHC Process
When a customer reviews their VHC information, if the Bumper integration is enabled the Finance option will display as below on the Vehicle Inspection report:
The Finance Information is only displayed when the value is between the min and max values setup in parameters. The Finance per month values are calculated based on the term parameters and the selected recommended work items.
The ability to select to pay the selected items on Finances will be available. This will take the user to the Bumper Finance application page to apply for finance:
The Customer will then complete the Bumper Application and, if accepted, they are returned to our acceptance confirmation page. Accepted application lines will then automatically approve the VHC lines with the Approved By User being set from the Bumper parameters.
The approved lines will then be added against the Bumper Sales Ledger Account.
