Sign without rebuilding the document
Send supported CARF documents into the signing workflow while keeping the signed result attached to the customer, deal, or transaction it came from.
CDI Module
Documents & Payments. Signed, paid, and connected.
Keep signatures, payments, documents, and transaction records connected to the same customer, deal, work order, and dealership workflow already inside CARF.
Send documents for signature, collect supported payments, and keep the activity attached to the record it belongs to instead of managing paperwork and payment history in disconnected systems.

Why it matters
Take payments where the work happens
Collect supported payments from the same customer, deal, service invoice, or transaction record your team is already working with.
Keep one transaction history
Documents, signatures, payments, and related records stay connected to the original CARF workflow so your team has a clearer history of what happened and when.
From transaction to record
Everything stays connected to the transaction
A signature or payment should not become a disconnected record after the customer completes it.
CARF keeps supported document and payment activity connected to the customer, vehicle, deal, work order, or invoice it came from.
- 01Customer / deal / work order
- 02Document or payment
- 03Signature / transaction
- 04Completed record
- 05CARF transaction history
That gives your team a clearer record of what was sent, signed, paid, and completed without searching through unrelated systems.
