Problem
Problem #1, Time – it can take weeks, even months, to manually receive and manage financial data from Small Business customers to i) assess and review a loan/credit application and ii) manage existing portfolio clients.
Problem #2, Cost – internal builds carry significant infrastructure and maintenance costs…and take forever. Available third-party ERP solutions require costly and lengthy implementation processes. Alternative is manual data collection from humans…the most expensive resource of all.
Problem #3, Risk – i) manual data collection increases the risk of data omissions, errors and loss…accidentally and/or intentionally. ii) Increased chance of misrepresentation and potentially even fraud, if data source is unknown. Not having access to accurate real-time data can create a false sense of a business’s true financial health.
