REV Group, a $2 billion specialty vehicle (SV) manufacturer, has chosen Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance (CDF) to launch a new program for dealer and distributor financing across the U.S. and Canada. REV Financial Services™ will provide SV and manufactured equipment dealers with a range of financing programs, and access to a suite of online business tools that can help meet today's complex business requirements and simplify inventory management.
The benefits of REV Financial Services extend beyond flexible financing programs. Dealers can tap into resources tailored for streamlining day-to-day operations and help businesses grow with:
- Common operating platform for all North American REV dealers
- Pre-owned financing capabilities
- Opportunities for improved liquidity and enhanced cash flow
- Field service representatives deployed to complete onsite inventory inspections

Dealers using REV Financial Services will also have access to Wells Fargo CDF's industry leading digital tool Customer Online Management System (COMS). COMS is an easy-to-use system that accepts payments and offers inventory management tools. Those participating in the program can also use Dealer Insights, an online portal within COMS that delivers analytic and tactical reporting customized to a user's unique business such as inventory statistics, local demographics, and financing options.
"We are excited to announce the launch of our program with Wells Fargo CDF," said Tim Sullivan, president and CEO of REV Group. "By joining forces with them our extensive network of dealers can use top-of-the-line inventory financing solutions and analytics."
