Advent brings every step of the car deal into one platform, helping car dealers structure, verify, approve, and fund deals faster - with fewer risks.
FORT WORTH, Texas, April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Car dealerships across New England face growing risks from identity fraud and regulatory scrutiny around pricing and disclosures, as car buying becomes increasingly digital. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), through its CARS Rule framework – along with state attorneys general across the region – are increasing enforcement activity, putting added pressure on dealers to ensure compliance at every step of the transaction.
Advent Resources helps address these challenges by bringing compliance, identity verification, and deal structuring into one controlled workflow from the very beginning of the car deal with the Advent Advantage digital car deal system.
What's more, compliance and fraud are no longer separate issues in today's market – they're closely connected. Gaps in the deal process can create compliance risk and open the door to fraud at the same time.
Consider the following:
- Auto fraud losses are expected to exceed $9 billion annually
- 45% of dealerships report losses of $10,000 to $20,000 from a single fraudulent deal
- Many dealers recover less than 50% of their losses
- When fraud occurs, consumers are often left with stolen identities, damaged credit, and long-term financial consequences
These risks are compounded by how car deals are completed today.
Dealers rely on multiple systems to verify identity, structure deals, secure approvals, generate contracts, and fund transactions – creating gaps where errors, inconsistencies, and fraud can occur.
"Today's dealerships are navigating fraud and compliance, which are two major risks to their business," said Ben Gill, CEO of Advent Resources. "We've spent more than 30 years helping dealers perfect the car deal. Advent Advantage brings every step into one system, so dealers move faster and protect the entire transaction. We help reduce 150 to 200 clicks per deal by eliminating back-and-forth between systems."
Advent Advantage powers the financial layer of the car deal in one system, including:
- Deal Structuring (Desking)
- Identity Verification, Powered by Veeroza™
- Credit and Compliance
- STIP Collection
- Lender Decisioning and Approvals
- e-Contracting and e-Signing
- Funding
Built-in ID verification tools – including facial recognition, selfie authentication, and DMV-based checks – help detect fraud immediately. At the same time, a single workflow reduces back-and-forth, allowing legitimate buyers to complete transactions faster and with greater transparency.
"Dealers need fewer gaps in the process," said Adam Furlough, Vice President of Sales and Delivery at Advent Resources. "When everything happens in one system, you reduce risk, eliminate friction, and get to funding faster. That's what today's car dealers need, and that's what today's car buyers want."
As part of its New England initiative, Advent Resources is working with dealerships across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Maine to improve deal security, reduce fraud risk, and support more consistent and compliant transactions.
