Accessing relevant data
Enduring Planet needed to access the right data from its applicants and build a robust underwriting process quickly, without compromising on risk management.
Manual uploading
Requiring applicants to upload information manually would result in a poor customer experience and slow down decisioning time, as the disparate data would need to be mapped to a standard format for analysis.
Delayed launch
Launching quickly was a top priority, but building, scaling, and maintaining integrations in-house threatened to delay Enduring Planet by 3-6 months.
Instant access to real-time customer data
Via Codat, Enduring Planet can leverage +30 accounting, banking, and commerce integrations to access multiple data types in one place. This means Enduring Planet can calculate funding offers quickly and remove any guesswork or bias from the process.
“Consuming multiple data sources for prospective lendees is a must in our business. We have one source of truth, one place to tackle problems, one place to access data and make decisions.”
- Dimitry Gershenson, Co-Founder and CEO
More time to support customers
Working with Codat allows Enduring Planet to focus on what they do best – supporting their customers.
“We skipped so much of the UX-building and backend system build. We were able to launch quickly and now continue optimizing and building out automation on our timeframe.
"Codat takes care of everything for us. Our starting point is months ahead of where we'd otherwise be."
Faster decision-making
Applicants share their real-time data via a single link. Codat then normalizes and cross-references the raw data to identify inaccuracies. This allows Enduring Planet to pull standardized data instantly and assess businesses quickly.
“Customers can fill out applications in 10 minutes and our underwriting team can review structured data transactions instantly. We provide term sheets in a week and funding in less than a month. The shortened application and underwriting process is huge."
