"A motor Finance Lending and Broker platform"

Alto

When considering your Lending platform you may think that an end to end solution as the way forward. This is rarely the case as to build the perfect system would take components from a range of suppliers. The transition between platforms may be a case of one or more core components not delivering and these need replacing yet other components are still viable. Alto delivers an advanced lending application which already seamlessly integrates into a number of legacy systems and using recognised integration tools can often replace more complex procedures for users with a more user friendly solution.

Maximises Efficiency

The profits of any organisation are directly related to the efficiency of its employees. Codeweavers have focused on producing a system that improves both individual and departmental efficiencies. Operations, Sales, Accounts and Management will all benefit when using Alto. Rapid and efficient data input can be performed using Alto due to the intuitive, well thought out layout of the system and the wide range of third-party data collection and validation tools. Links to third party data providers ensure you get the most accurate and up-to-date information, such as car data checks, credit bureau integrations, post code look-ups and bank sort code and account number validation. Process management is a key aspect of Alto. The client can define work queues; this enables the system to give you complete control of your processes.

Service Oriented

Alto enables you to offer the very best levels of service to your clients using a range of advanced features. Such as service level parameters per introducer used to drive the proposal work queues allowing you to prioritise the introducers you value most.

Information Management

Alto enables you to electronically store the information from the proposal. This means that this information can be rapidly accessed without the need to wade through mountains of paper. As your team work on the application and more information gets added such as notes, searches and vehicle details this too is electronically tagged to the proposal details. The system also stores detailed information on all entities related to the proposal such as the introducer and sales representatives.

Control

Alto allows YOU to control your business. It gives you the power to monitor proposal activity, client efficiencies, operator efficiencies and accountability

Integration

As well as integration with other Codeweavers modules such as Cara and Lucro, Alto offers integration into a range of back-end administration and accounting systems. This means that it is possible to implement Alto without having to change vendor for your back-end collections and accounting systems. In addition there are options available to have advanced integration into Alto with responses and documents pushed back through a web service.

Advanced Calculators

Alto comes with a range of advanced finance calculators that enable you to re-calculate deals based on up to 14 different parameters. Users can calculate payments from rates, deposits from payments and rates or even work back to terms. Calculations can be fixed on either customer rates (flat rate, yield or Apr), Apr's or commissions. Commissions are calculated for your introducer (and for yourself if you operate as a broker), while yields are produced based on your parameters. This allows you to make decisions based on the accurately calculated profitability of the deal. Subsidies can be calculated for deals transacted below the introducers base rate. Codeweavers have a range of calculators implemented for the following products and can rapidly build new calculators for any calculation methodology not

Web based Delivery

Access Alto from any location with a connection to the Web. Home workers can have the same functionality as office based employees and Management can review business activity from anywhere. Additionally maintenance is managed remotely, so that updates and support can be more rapidly deployed.

Administration

The only certainty in any growing business is change. To ensure that support costs are kept as low as possible on lucro and Alto, Codeweavers have parameterised almost every facet of the system. This fine level of control enables our clients to take charge of their application. For example each introducer can have unique rates and rate structures for each product on the system so that commissions shown are specific and exact.

The level of sophistication necessitates that the functionality within Admin is involved. However Codeweavers have built in a range of features designed to make managing your system as simple as possible. Probably the best example of this is the 'Campaigns' mechanism, whereby many introducers can be set up to use the same rate package, meaning that any changes in rates can rapidly be effected across large numbers of introducers with a single change.

With so many permutations in how Alto can be setup to fit your current or desired processes we fully recommend a full demonstration on the product to enable you to fully appreciate the functionality.
