Core offering

eDealer Services (EDS) develops and operates web-based software solutions that enable electronic processing of vehicle titles, liens, registrations, and permits across U.S. state motor vehicle agencies, automotive dealerships, and lienholders. Its product suite comprises the Electronic Lien & Title (ELT) Single Gateway Hub for jurisdiction-to-lienholder transactions, eTitle for dealer-to-jurisdiction title and registration processing, eTRP for instant issuance of temporary registration permits, and DRT for electronic dealer reassignment of titles. Revenue is generated on a per-transaction basis for title, lien, and permit processing operations in deployed state programs.
