Complex processes require complex solutions
Raiffeisen Bank’s complex and dynamic business lending processes required the development of parallel workflows. However, their former LMS solution was outdated and could not support this. It lacked flexibility in terms of process automation and was mainly utilized as a data aggregation tool. The system didn’t provide process transparency that was crucial for stakeholders. Limited integration with other interfaces deprived employees of a single source of truth. They had to check multiple systems before moving forward with loan applications, and they could not track stages.
The time-consuming approval process was negatively influencing productivity and customer experience. Driven by the goal to stay on top of the game when it comes to technology and ensure customer satisfaction, RBAL kicked off a search for a new solution. The company required a tool that would streamline the loan management process, and ensure transparency while making the best use of information flows and data input. A pre-set tools, ease of process configuration, low-code/no-code capabilities, and wide integration options facilitated selecting the Creatio no‑code platform to automate workflows and CRM with maximum degree of freedom.
Managing loans has never been simpler
RBAL chose to go with an agile methodology to make improvements step by step, learning along the way and inserting required changes to ensure the processes are well-adjusted. Understanding that having a team of system experts would allow them to keep pace with the ongoing changes of the business and technological environment, RBAL started their Creatio implementation by establishing an internal competence center.
In partnership with Creatio and guided by the consultancy of Qualysoft, the project team built a custom platform for lending process automation named BLINC – Business Lending is Now Cool. The platform's name speaks for itself as it is designed to fit the RBAL requirements perfectly.
