PRESS RELEASE — Fort Myers, FL | August 25, 2023 — Gather, a leading insurtech innovator, proudly announces the expansion of its sales team with the addition of two automotive industry experts: Christian Salazar as Chief Sales Officer, with a focus on the Midwest region of the United States, and Michael Gaughran as Regional Sales Manager for the Southeast. The move is in line with the company’s mission to revolutionize the automotive dealership sector with insurance verification solutions that are Safeguards compliant and unlike any other in the industry.
The traditional method of calling insurance agents for proof of insurance became non-compliant with the Safeguards Rule effective June 9th, 2023. Gather addresses this with a secure technology that verifies and updates the consumer’s existing insurance policy in real-time without the need for human interaction with an insurance representative. Additionally, Gather’s state-of-the-art solution biometrically verifies the consumer’s identity and assesses potential fraud risks to ensure the dealership is protected from fraudulent customers.
Gather integrates natively with each of the four major dealer management systems (DMSs) — CDK, DealerTrack, Reynolds & Reynolds, and Tekion — allowing for seamless collection and management of key insurance information necessary for the deal.
“Gather isn’t just streamlining the insurance verification process,” said Salazar, “we’re providing a solution that empowers dealerships to operate with confidence, ensuring every transaction is secure and quick. In today’s world, consumers want to be in and out fast.”
In addition to the appointment of Salazar and Gaughran, Gather is looking to bring onboard ten regional managers nationally over the next six months to meet company objectives. With these developments and its unwavering commitment to innovation, Gather is poised to set new benchmarks in the automotive industry, offering unparalleled solutions tailored to the modern needs of dealerships.
