Problem

Today, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Tekion, innovator of the first cloud-native platform serving the entire automotive ecosystem. Leveraging our core embedded payroll API and Check Components, Tekion has expanded their Payroll module with more features and made it available in all 50 states as a core offering within their flagship Automotive Retail Cloud (ARC) Platform.

Founded in 2016, Tekion was built to improve the often-dreaded car buying experience by creating software that integrates formerly segregated systems into one system that is easy to use for both consumers and dealers. Today, Tekion serves automotive retailers across the globe, with 1M+ vehicles sold, 9M+ vehicles serviced and $15B+ transacted across the platform. 

“We’re thrilled to partner with Tekion, a company similarly disrupting a legacy industry," said Andrew Brown, co-founder and CEO of Check. "Together, we can simplify the operational burden on automotive retailers nationwide by bringing the best of modern payroll technology into the modern software they already use to power their businesses.”

Teaming up with Check empowers Tekion to provide auto retailers with an enhanced, comprehensive payroll solution seamlessly embedded within their cloud-native platform. This collaboration aims to boost efficiency and streamline the operations of Tekion’s Dealer Partners.

“Running payroll across an automotive dealership is no simple task – most dealerships are dealing with varying compensation structures across full-time and hourly workers, in addition to commission-based models that bring more complexity,” said Guru Sankararaman, COO at Tekion. “We're excited to offer something that has not been available with traditional standalone payroll solutions. Processes that once required time-intensive and manual efforts can now be streamlined.”

“By partnering with Check, we bring forward the best of complete payroll processing and embed it directly within ARC processes for our Dealer Partners,” said Sheryl Pinto, VP and GM, Embedded Finance at Tekion. “This allows us to further innovate and empowers our Dealer Partners to efficiently reward their talented teams.”
