The New Playbook For Vehicle Titling: How One State is Leading the Charge | Industry Spotlight

Welcome to Industry Spotlight—a focused series hosted by Sam D’Arc, highlighting standout dealerships and innovative companies, and exploring the trends driving success in today’s automotive market. Today, Sam sits down with Kimberly Scogin, Controller at Hudson Management Group, and Shane Bigelow, CEO of CHAMP Titles. This episode of the Car Dealership Guy Podcast is brought to you by CHAMP Titles: CHAMP Titles - In automotive retail, everything moves fast — except vehicle titling. Consumers can shop online, secure a deal, and take delivery in hours, but titles still get bogged down in a maze of paper, processes, and state-by-state variation. For dealers, this means delays, errors, and tied-up cash flow. The National Digital Titling Clearinghouse (NDTC) powered by CHAMP Titles is changing that. By streamlining multi-state title transfers and reducing turnaround times from 30–60 days to less than 24 hours, NDTC helps you move vehicles — and revenue — faster.
