Project Name
Salesforce Financial Services Cloud MCA Lending Platform Transformation
A US-based alternative lending company specializing in Merchant Cash Advances (MCA) required a centralized platform to manage its complete lending lifecycle. The organization was processing merchant applications through disconnected systems, spreadsheets, emails, and manual workflows, creating delays in underwriting, stipulation management, funding approvals, and loan disbursement.
As application volumes increased, the lender needed a scalable solution to automate underwriting decisions, improve visibility across departments, accelerate funding cycles, and reduce operational risks associated with ACH payment processing.
Ksolves, an AI-first company, partnered with the client to implement a comprehensive Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC) lending platform. The solution unified lead management, digital loan applications, automated decisioning, stipulation workflows, approvals, funding operations, repayment tracking, and collections management within a single ecosystem.
The challenges faced by the client are as follows:
- Manual Loan Processing and Limited Scalability: Merchant applications were managed through emails, spreadsheets, and disconnected processes, resulting in slow processing times, inconsistent workflows, and limited operational visibility.
- No Automated Underwriting Decision Framework: Underwriters manually reviewed every application regardless of qualification status, increasing turnaround times and reducing overall underwriting efficiency.
- Inefficient Stipulations Management Across Departments: Underwriting, legal, and funding teams managed stipulations through emails and manual tracking, creating bottlenecks and limited visibility into pending requirements.
- ACH Disbursement Risks: The organization lacked technical controls to prevent duplicate NACHA payment submissions, exposing funding operations to potential duplicate disbursements.
- Limited Visibility into Repayments and Collections: Daily repayment tracking, portfolio monitoring, and collections management were not centralized, making it difficult to identify at-risk accounts and monitor loan performance.
- Disconnected Lead Capture Processes: Merchant leads arriving from multiple channels required manual data entry and validation before entering the underwriting pipeline.
Ksolves designed and implemented a complete Salesforce Financial Services Cloud lending platform that streamlined the merchant cash advance lifecycle from application intake through repayment management.
- Salesforce FSC Lending Platform Implementation: Configured Salesforce Financial Services Cloud as the centralized lending platform to manage merchant onboarding, loan applications, underwriting workflows, approvals, funding operations, repayment schedules, and portfolio monitoring.
- OmniStudio Digital Loan Application Journey: Built OmniScript-based guided loan application workflows that enabled merchants to submit business information, owner details, revenue data, bank account information, funding requirements, and supporting documents through a structured digital experience.
- Automated Decision Engine Integration: Implemented a three-stage Automated Decision Engine (ADE) integration that performs Bank Statement Intelligence (BSI) pre-decline screening, OCR-based document validation, and decline processing, and Automated pre-approval evaluation for qualified applicants
- Multi-Department Stipulations Management: Developed a centralized stipulations management framework supporting underwriting stipulations queues, legal review queues, funding coordinator queues, priority-based assignments, self-service record ownership, and automated workflow routing
- Tiered Approval Workflow Automation: Implemented approval workflows based on funding amount thresholds, automatically routing applications to underwriters, risk managers, or credit committees as required.
- Offer Generation and Funding Automation: Automated loan offer generation with multiple funding scenarios, repayment terms, and factor-rate calculations. Integrated document generation and e-signature workflows to streamline funding acceptance and execution.
- NACHA ACH Payment Processing: Implemented ACH disbursement automation with NACHA file generation and duplicate payment prevention controls to eliminate the risk of duplicate funding transactions.
- Lead Management and Fundera Integration: Integrated external lead sources and marketplace data into Salesforce, automatically populating merchant information and accelerating application intake processes.
- Repayment Tracking and Collections Management: Developed repayment tracking capabilities, including ACH reconciliation, balance calculations, payoff management, portfolio monitoring, and SWAT collections workflows for at-risk accounts.
