Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Lending

The Newgen LOS solution offers a queue-based workflow approach for initiating and completing the application or performing relevant tasks and activities. Each user within the process can have access to their queue. They can log in and see only work items assigned to them, or all users of the same department can view the work items in a queue based on the bank’s requirements. The queues are rights-based, allowing only an authorized user to view and access them. Further, filters may be applied so that only certain users see specific items in a queue (e.g., loan requests under $1 million). Each application moves from one user to the next within the process flow. As soon as one user completes an application, it goes into the queue of the next user/department as defined within the application workflow.

Newgen’s consumer loan origination software includes dashboards or reports that monitor key performance indicators such as loan cycle time, performance (time) relative to expectations, and office production forecasts.

The solution has a built-in business activity monitoring tool with in-built productivity and process metrics. These reports can be functional, operational, or investigative. While Newgen will configure a set of reports for the bank during the implementation cycle, any new report can be easily configured in the solution using the report designer wizard. No programming effort is required to create these reports.

Reports can be in the form of bar charts, pie charts, or tabular reports and are displayed on dashboards. These are drill-down reports that provide critical information about the performance, work item completion rate, bottlenecks, etc. Also, multiple filters can be created for different reports to create ad-hoc reports based on date, month, year, branch, line of business, etc.

The solution leverages the underlying low code process automation framework (BPM) to automate the loan origination workflow. It supports loan value-based approval, parallel (committee-like), and sequential (chain-like) routing of the loan request to the appropriate lending/credit authorities.

The routing and distribution of loan requests can be done manually or automatically based on business parameters such as loan value, customer relationship, total exposure, risk rating, etc.

An approval matrix/lender tree will be configured in the master data management of the proposed solution as per the bank’s requirements.

During the entire process, the solution maintains a detailed audit log that records all actions, changes, etc., made by the bank’s user, along with the username and date/time stamp.

Yes, the Newgen LOS provides a customer portal for the online initiation/application of a new loan request. The online initiation is an extension of the financial institution’s website and is tightly integrated with the underlying LOS platform. The online initiation is configured as per the branding guidelines of the financial institution.

Newgen LOS solution allows for auto-decisioning/straight-through processing of loan requests that are based on meeting the parameters/checklists defined by the bank. By leveraging the underlying low code process automation platform, requests for credit/loans can be routed through different workflows based on the request type, loan amount requested, entities, etc. For example, there could be a “no-touch,” “low-touch,” or “high-touch” type of approach to requests. If all the bank’s defined parameters are met, a loan can be completely approved and booked with no manual intervention, or if certain criteria are not met, then the loan will be routed to the required queue for processing.

Typically, Newgen has seen that once a consumer account is opened, the new customer is onboarded into the core. If the bank views onboarding activities as a separate process/requirement different from this, Newgen would need a more detailed understanding of the bank’s consumer onboarding process. Newgen will work with the bank during the implementation process to align the solution to the bank’s specific requirements regarding consumer onboarding.
