The Challenge
Simplifying Processes and Embracing Technology for Efficiency
For Everlasting Capital, the primary challenge lay in automating their lengthy submission process, simplifying intricate underwriting procedures, and accelerating the often time-consuming approval cycle. The company struggled with the labor-intensive task of manually deciding where to submit various transactions. This process took up a lot of time and effort. Additionally, they had to analyze past submission data to guide current decisions, a task that wasn’t error-free.
Their business complexity was another challenge. Everlasting Capital dealt with both working capital and equipment financing, and needed a flexible solution that could work for multiple lending verticals.
In addition, they were concerned about costs and the effort to adopt a new solution, which had held them back from implementing the solution before. However, as industry competitors had already embraced automated processes, Everlasting Capital lagged behind with a slower, manual system that delayed their response time.
As their business expanded, they hit a ceiling as it became clear their manual methods weren’t scalable. They needed a more technology-driven approach to keep up. Despite having some reservations about using technology for the critical task of submissions, and with some inspiration from seeing their peers thrive with the approach, they realized that innovation was necessary to stay competitive and efficient.
The Solution
Driven both by the business workflow needs and a reduced staff due to the pandemic, Everlasting Capital approached Cloudsquare, having been previously introduced to their Cloudsquare Submit software.
Cloudsquare Submit is an intuitive decision management tool with an easily refinable submission channel that helps brokers and lenders build a continuously improving submissions process directly inside Salesforce.
With Submit, Everlasting Capital could expedite the submission of deals, significantly reducing the time taken for approvals and with automated data mapping, the system eliminated submission errors that often-plagued manual processes.
Submit’s end-to-end lender decisioning management provided the ability to track rejected deals, observe offers returned by lenders, and maintain a comprehensive offer history for each lender. By diligently using the system, they could refine their lender criteria scoring models, identify their best partners and discover new opportunities as the system adapted itself to their business over time.
Submit is natively designed, through various lender profiles, to be able to handle multiple lending verticals, products and offers, which was perfect for Everlasting Capital. Both of the verticals they serviced could be managed independently, allowing the company to handle different types of lending simultaneously. In addition, the system offered granular control over lender submission profiles, accommodating the intricate demands of different products.
