Julie Douglas: Paving the Way for How Dealerships Accept Payments

Julie Douglas is the president and CEO of Dealer Pay LLC, a company that provides seamless, integrated payment processing and advanced software solutions to the automotive industry. She's also known as the "Sales Lady Extraordinaire." Today, Julie joins Kaylee to discuss her experience founding the company over 9 years ago, as well as the challenges they faced when first scaling the company. Customers value payment convenience when making purchases. Customers now have more payment options than ever before thanks to technological advancements. Dealer Pay began as a payments provider, allowing customers to accept credit cards and checks while also providing reporting. It quickly became apparent to Julie and her team that there was a need for a full point-of-sale solution for dealerships. With the rise of technology, companies are now able to streamline their businesses through the use of tools like Dealer Pay. This allows them to bill customers once the parts have been delivered. Furthermore, their new mobile app allows parts managers to take payment as a card-present transaction in front of the customer. This convenience factor is a huge time saver for parts managers. With the help of tools like this, businesses are able to save time and money while providing a better experience for their customers.
