"Eliminate the manual, sequential lookups required at deal intake — credit scores, Secretary of State filings, and VIN checks — the moment a dealer submits a new application."

Who It's For

Operations leaders and processors at equipment finance companies responsible for intake and early-stage deal processing. If your team is running credit lookups, SOS searches, and VIN checks manually — one at a time, in sequence — this automation removes that entire workflow.

The Problem

At deal intake, processors manually run sequential lookups — credit scores, Secretary of State business filings, and VIN checks — one at a time, copying data between systems. This creates delays, introduces transcription errors, and leaves no audit trail. The workflow is entirely dependent on processor availability and sequence.

  • Sequential execution — each lookup waits for the previous one to complete, multiplying total processing time by the number of lookups required
  • Manual transcription — data copied between systems by hand, introducing errors that surface later in underwriting or funding
  • No audit trail — manual lookups leave no documentation of when data was pulled, from what source, or what the result was
  • Processor bottleneck — intake speed is capped by individual processor availability, creating backlogs during high-volume periods
  • Inconsistent coverage — some processors run all required lookups; others skip steps under time pressure, creating compliance gaps

The Solution

A workflow automation that triggers the moment a dealer submits a new application via the Dealer Portal. All required data lookups run simultaneously — not sequentially — and the results are assembled into a structured packet attached directly to the deal record.

Parallel API Calls at Deal Creation

The moment a dealer submits a new application, the workflow triggers simultaneous API calls for all required data — credit scores, SOS filings, and VIN verification run at the same time, not in sequence.

Complete Time-Stamped Data Packet

Returns a structured data packet with all results — time-stamped and attached to the deal record automatically. Processors open the deal and the data is already there.

Full Audit Trail

Every data pull is logged with timestamp, source, and result — eliminating the compliance gap created by manual lookups with no documentation. Every deal is defensible.

Processor Focus Shift

Processors are freed from routine data gathering and redirected to underwriting judgment and exception handling — the work that actually requires human expertise and can't be automated.
