Credit Workplace: Asset-based lending

Next generation processes for real estate lending

In today’s economic landscape, commercial lenders face significant challenges. Braving high pressures on margins, lenders need to react quickly to market changes while keeping day-to-day operations efficient and scalable. Both are made more difficult by existing structural problems: fragmented and sometimes poorly integrated IT landscapes, paper-based processes and redundant data inputs.  

Introducing the Credit Workplace – the next generation end-to-end solution for commercial real estate lending. Our platform ensures a single source of truth for your data, standardizes processes, and offers a holistic view on your deals, assets, and business partners. With seamless integration into the backend systems, the Credit Workplace enables the automation of numerous tasks throughout the entire credit process. This results in higher transparency, lower exposure to risks, and last but not least, lower operating costs.

Access economies of scale

Credit Workplace realizes significant efficiencies across two dimensions. It integrates front-to-back with position keeping systems, creating a single foundation for data and processes. Simultaneously, it covers capabilities end-to-end from origination, through credit operations and risk management. For lenders this provides a solid and unified foundation to manage the entire lending lifecycle and increase efficiencies by at least 20%. This allows lenders to realize economies of scale, reduce operating cost per deal and simultaneously improve transparency on all activities and information.

Rely on a single source of truth

Credit Workplace provides a Single Source of Truth (SSoT) for all data – eliminating inconsistencies and ensuring data integrity across the entire process including origination, underwriting, property monitoring and analysis, and credit risk management. This means a reliable foundation for compliance, risk management and comprehensive data analysis.

Streamline decision- and task allocation

Leverage the built-in event- and task-based logic for a clear division of labor and fully transparent workflows across multiple functions. Replace traditional paper-based decision-making processes with interactive decision papers that are automatically fed with data and routed forward throughout the decision and approval process. Access a readily available view of task allocation across employees, deal statuses and pending issues – making collaboration more efficient in your teams.

Leverage automation and AI

Access automation capabilities to streamline workflows such as document reviews, uploading and processing of tenant lists, continuous monitoring of values or KPIs. Fulfill regulatory requirements, such as need-to-know principles or audit logs, without any or minimal effort. Furthermore, the high-quality data foundation of the Credit Workplace opens the door to incorporating future AI-applications for further process optimization.

Stay on top of market changes

Credit Workplace allows direct integration of external data sources for efficient market analysis and property performance. Automate the monitoring of your assets to ensure continuous value optimization and recognize changing market and risk conditions quickly to adapt your strategy efficiently.

The Credit Workplace has truly met our expectations. The result of the co-innovation has significantly improved our entire credit processes. I can already see the efficiency gains for the bank.
