Client Overview

A well-established real estate finance company offering residential and commercial lending solutions. With growing loan volumes and competitive pressures, the firm needed to enhance turnaround times while maintaining accuracy in processing and compliance checks.

The client’s manual loan processing workflows presented critical challenges:

• Approval cycles were slow, often taking longer than industry benchmarks.
• Errors from manual data entry were leading to regulatory risks and rework.

These inefficiencies directly impacted customer satisfaction, operational margins, and growth capacity.
