HBS Systems Partners with F&I Solutions Provider Trnsact

Jun 15, 2023

Web-based equipment dealership management solution (DMS) provider HBS Systems has partnered with Trnsact, a digital finance and insurance (F&I) platform for equipment dealers. HBS Systems says the partnership will provide dealers using the company’s NetView ECO DMS with a faster, easier and more secure financing process to drive sales, increase compliance and provide better customer and dealer staff experiences.

According to HBS, the integration enables a secure and compliant finance management platform that allows dealers to streamline all credit and financing workflows with any lender or aftermarket provider and offer customers a single online credit application. An applicant can scan a QR code or receive a text message link to complete the application on their mobile device and receive financing terms from the dealer’s preferred captive lender or bank, the company says. The digital process reduces the administrative time sales reps or other dealer staff must spend entering data, waiting for lender responses and sharing updates with customers, HBS adds.

“Our team works tirelessly to reduce keystrokes and streamline workflows and processes to increase efficiencies for our valued customers,” says Chad Stone, president and CEO of HBS Systems.

Beckham Thomas, CEO, and co-founder of Trnsact, says that the partnership “will bring new synergies for HBS Systems dealers by further reducing the steps required to advance equipment financing sales and maximize opportunities to offer insurance warranty programs with ease.”

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
