The client stands at the forefront in driving swift credit disbursals for entrepreneurs and business owners. Despite recording a good customer base and a name in the space, the client was facing challenges in efficiently managing the customer data and interactions. Initially, the client was manually updating customer information and their journeys to their loan origination system (LOS) and loan management system (LMS), which was tedious and highly prone to human errors.
From customer onboarding to loan disbursal and recovery, the lending process includes multiple stages, making it an operations-heavy, unmanageable, and a time-consuming process, such as lead management, documentation, underwriting, evaluation, legal verification, and disbursal documentation.
The client realized the need for a cost-effective digital solution that could take some burden off their Sales team, centralize the lending process, improve customer experience, and maintain a repository for handy access to all the significant data. Alongside, manual verifications and heaps of paperwork were time-consuming; resulting in delayed loan disbursals, which they could avoid with the customized digital solution.
Meanwhile, the lack of provision to monitor employee attendance, absence of location-enabled data, and inefficient team collaboration were some of the concerns that required immediate attention to maximize their field sales potential.
