Empowering Dealers With A New Loan Origination System
When this financial services client projected its lease and loan origination volumes to
double due to expansion into a new product line, it turned to ThoughtWorks. Utilizing
cutting-edge technology, ThoughtWorks created an origination system equipped to process
the higher volumes, improve transaction turnaround time and deliver new features to the
dealer sales channel.

The Situation                                                                                                 in seconds, vastly improving

quoting, credit, documents, booking and funding. These processes already demanded a high degree              • By integrating and automating
                                                                                                              the complex credit application

The situation led the client to look for new ways to handle the projected increases in volume, while
                                                                                                              waiting time for credit approval

The client recognized that, in addition to handling the forecast volume increase, any new solution should
also address four key business issues:                                                                       • The new technical infrastructure

    Second, automate the credit approval process. Since the credit approval process was manual,
    securing credit on a single deal often meant waiting several days as analysts assembled credit           • The system’s “auto-packeting”
