About Ampla

Tech-forward financing for growing brands

Financial services provider Ampla needed easy access to customers’ commerce and accounting data so that it could make smarter credit decisions and offer more tailored services. With Codat, Ampla ditched a costly in-house build for turnkey integrations that streamline its underwriting and analytics.

The problem

A need for real-time insights without the development strain

To assess and track customers’ financial health, Ampla needed instant, ongoing access to business data through its commerce, retail, and accounting systems. Initially, Ampla tried to build the required integrations in-house, placing undue burden on its development team.

“It starts with the data,” said Jim Cummings, Ampla’s chief operating officer. “The better your data, the smarter your underwriting, the lower your loss rate, and the more extensive and affordable your capital solutions. But getting all that data off the ground is really hard to do.”

Data on demand

To make critical credit decisions, Ampla needed easy access to customers’ commerce and accounting data—including inventory figures, purchasing orders, invoices, and more.

Complex integrations

Maintaining integrations in-house was costly and time-consuming for Ampla’s team, and it took extra effort and expertise to ensure high-quality, standardized connections.

Round-the-clock support

Ampla needed ongoing visibility into customers’ business performance so the team could mitigate risk, track key metrics, and identify opportunities for additional financing.

The solution

With Codat, a turnkey, reliable data source

Ampla leveraged Codat’s token migration feature to transfer hundreds of active connections from their in-house Shopify integration to Codat—without their customers having to reconnect. There, it joined a number of other integrations, delivering standardized data from multiple commerce and accounting systems straight to Ampla’s platform.

“Codat made it easy to consolidate our integrations and keep all of our existing Shopify connections. They did all of the hard work in just a couple of weeks, and none of our customers had to reauthenticate.”

Real-time data for quick, confident underwriting

Codat’s up-to-the-minute commerce and accounting data allows Ampla to quickly evaluate customers and deploy the capital they need to produce inventory, boost marketing efforts, fulfill purchase orders, and invest in go-to-market growth.

Powerful integrations with comprehensive coverage

With just one integration to Codat, Ampla gets standardized data from Shopify and many other commerce and accounting platforms their customers use. Better still, they don’t have to maintain or even think about these integrations in-house.

Not only does Codat’s real-time, standardized data lower Ampla’s risk, it allows them to automate updates to their customers’ financial services and offer highly customized solutions that meet businesses where they are.

THE OUTCOME

“Codat’s real-time data means we can help our customers fuel growth faster without putting our bottom line at risk,” said Cummings.
