Loan Automation Accelerator (LA2)

What if...

a bank or credit union could engage with prospects and customers for loan products via digital, personalized, automated and integrated workflows, without having to choose complex software development?

What if...

a modified off the shelf (MOTs) solution existed that enabled fast implementation and leveraged modern technology in such areas as automation, artificial intelligence, and flexible integration platforms?

What if...

a bank could drive growth of lending portfolios based on personalized information, seamless communication and the ability to exceed expectations of customers for digitized and real-time servicing?

What if...

you could hire full time or contract resources with the right expertise to advance lending automation, expand your internal capacity, or accelerate project delivery.

All of this is possible now!

System Soft Technologies has developed the Loan Automation Accelerator (LA2)

Developed to serve the needs of commercial and consumer lenders who want to:

  • Attract and retain more lending customers based on service excellence
  • Accelerate customer onboarding
  • Redeploy high-cost bank employees - like Portfolio and Relationship Managers - from manual tasks to more valuable endeavors
  • Leverage existing systems already in place - like Loan Origination and CRM - yet extend functionality and customer engagement across the workflows of application, underwriting, funding, and servicing
  • Better automate workflows, but want a simple, cost-effective approach that yields results in weeks
  • Add variable capacity with the right skills to complement internal resources and innovation projects involving workflow automation.

Might your organization be struggling with these challenges?

  1. Revenues

    Net interest rate margin will most likely be down moderately in 2024 and slowing economic economic activity will require more savvy sales and marketing activities, including the leverage of automation and analytics

  2. Expenses

    Need to drive more automation across workflows to reduce servicing costs and to handle dynamic and unpredictable servicing volumes and increased funding costs

  3. Profitability

    Profitability will be squeezed as non-performing loans and write-offs will require more savvy analytics and transparency to borrower financial performance

  4. Productivity

    Too many high-priced bank resources are immersed in data entry and manual activity that inhibits ability to build stronger relationships and explore more revenue potential

  5. Tech Costs

    Large COTS platforms are expensive, difficult to implement, and can't be customized for bank workflow nuances. Custom software development takes too long.

  6. Expectations

    Borrowers' demands for more real-time and digital services continue to grow.

  7. Resources

    Lack capacity and/or capability to drive automation initiatives.

What is LA2?

  • Simply stated, LA2 combines expertise with IP to deliver an automated, personalized and digital experience for internal and external lending stakeholders
  • Implementation is expedited and integrates with legacy applications and data (e.g., Loan Origination and Core Banking)
  • Scope can be tailored to fit the need, whether across all lending functions or specific areas such as origination and servicing
  • Technology platforms are selected to align with customer standards and strategy
  • Knowledge transfer allows customers to take over ongoing support, modification and maintenance
