Multi-Layered Fraud Prevention
Stop Internal Fraud Before It Stops Your Business
One platform that ensures smarter deals & safer sales for your business.
Detect. Prevent. Protect.
Internal fraud—especially when employees alter or manipulate customer information—puts your business, reputation, and bottom line at serious risk. Every time customer data is changed without authorization, you’re exposed to compliance fines, financial losses, and customer distrust. Informativ’s all-in-one compliance and fraud prevention platform gives auto dealers the power to identify fraud in real time and enforce compliant sales processes from the showroom floor to the back office.
What Is Internal Fraud?
Internal fraud occurs when an employee intentionally manipulates company systems or customer information for personal gain or to benefit the business improperly. In auto dealerships and financial institutions, this often includes:
- Changing credit scores or customer profiles
- Modifying loan terms without consent
- Overriding identity verification systems
- Faking approvals or applications
These aren’t theoretical risks. Internal fraud is already costing businesses billions annually.
Why Internal Fraud Is a Growing Threat to Your Dealership
It’s Easy to Do—and Hard to Detect
Most fraudsters aren’t hackers. They’re your employees—who already have access to customer systems, CRM tools, and finance apps. With a few keystrokes, they can bypass guardrails and put your business at risk.
It Happens When You’re Busy
Fraudsters know when your showroom is overwhelmed. That’s when shortcuts get taken and compliance steps get skipped. Most fraud incidents occur during peak hours or at month-end crunch time—when managers are too focused on closing deals to notice the red flags.
It Destroys Trust and Triggers Legal Action
Once discovered, internal fraud leads to:
- Regulatory investigations (FTC, CFPB, state attorneys general)
- Expensive legal settlements
- Reputation damage that impacts future sales
- Loss of customer loyalty
How Big Is the Problem?
- Internal fraud is responsible for nearly 30% of all business fraud losses globally.
- The average cost per fraud case caused by employees is $357,650 according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
- Auto dealers are especially vulnerable due to high turnover, incentive-driven environments, and legacy paper-heavy processes and systems that lack real-time controls.
How Informativ Stops Internal Fraud Before It Starts
At Informativ, we’ve reimagined compliance and fraud prevention from the ground up—designed specifically for auto dealerships.
Enforce Compliance with a “Forced March” Sales Process
Our platform embeds compliance directly – and digitally — into your sales workflow. Every license is scanned and validated. Every credit pull is logged. Every required disclosure is time-stamped and verified. No room for skipped steps. No chance for fraud to sneak through.
Real-Time Fraud Detection
Catch fake and synthetic IDs and mismatched customer info before a deal is desked. Our fraud engine flags anomalies and sends real-time alerts to your compliance lead or GM—automatically.
Prevent Customer Info Tampering
By controlling access to customer information and delaying full credit app collection until the customer is ready to buy, Informativ greatly restricts and controls access to sensitive data. Restricted access to data = fewer opportunities for tampering.
