Company's rapid growth reflects growing demand for fraud and compliance technology solutions.

FRISCO, Texas, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Informativ, the leading provider of compliance solutions, credit reporting, and customer insights for automotive dealers, lenders, and other end markets, is proud to be named to Inc.'s 2025 Regionals: Southwest list. Ranking 58^th, Informativ has been recognized for its transformative impact on dealership operations, providing an end-to-end solution that enhances compliance, eliminates fraud, and streamlines the vehicle sales process.

An extension of the prestigious national Inc. 5000 list, the Inc. Regionals: Southwest highlights the fastest-growing private companies in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Between 2021 and 2023, companies on this year's list achieved a median growth rate of 106%, collectively adding 13,809 jobs and contributing $15.9 billion to the regional economy.

"Informativ is redefining how automotive dealers manage credit, compliance, and fraud prevention, turning what was once an operational burden into a strategic advantage," said David Carner, CEO of Informativ. "By ensuring a seamless, proactive compliance process, our one-of-a-kind platform accelerates sales, increases qualified lead conversion, and eliminates unnecessary costs—delivering tangible bottom-line value for our clients."

Informativ's Total Solution Platform revolutionizes variable operations by reallocating money spent on credit and compliance into a combined, streamlined, proactive system that:

• Optimizes & controls credit pulls through the industry's only end-to-end proactive showroom compliance enforcement platform, guaranteeing consistent, compliant behavior.
  
  
• Accelerates the sales process by integrating prequalification early—before the full credit application—so desk managers can make informed decisions immediately upon customer return from a test drive.
  
  
• Eliminates friction with customers by reducing invasive requests for social security numbers and income details until the consumer is ready to buy—leading to higher conversion rates.
  
  
• Increases high-quality lead volume with QR-based sales enablement, capturing customer insights from any touchpoint (on a vehicle, streaming ad, salesperson's desk, website, or even a special event).
  
  
• Eliminates fraud through mandatory driver's license validation at the showroom and remote ID verification for online applications, reducing dealership vulnerability.
  
  
• Reduces compliance burden and risk by up to 80% by intelligently managing prequals vs. hard credit pulls, reducing the need for credit score disclosure notices, minimizing private customer data circulation, and dramatically decreasing risks associated with dead deal administration.

In 2024, Informativ was named to the national Inc. 5000 list, ranking 2,883rd overall and 326th among software companies, with a three-year growth rate exceeding 170%. The company was also recognized as a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization, with 89% of employees affirming it as an exceptional workplace—32 points higher than the average U.S. company. This year marks the first time Informativ has ranked on the Inc. Regionals list.
