Case Study

CHALLENGE:

Manual processing across loan and insurance applications severely constrained broker productivity. Lack of centralized reporting hindered executive pipeline management, and manual data re-entry caused frequent application errors.

SOLUTION:

Intelegain developed a specialized Power Apps CRM tailored to Australian loan and insurance workflows, featuring automated multi-stage form population, lender validation rules, and real-time executive performance dashboards.

RESULTS:

Slashed loan application cycle times by 55%, achieved 99% data accuracy across lender submission forms, and empowered brokers to double active deal processing capacity.

The Challenge: Manual Application Friction in Fast-Paced Consumer Finance

In the competitive automotive lending sector, loan applicants expect rapid pre-approvals and transparent terms. Car Clarity matches thousands of Australian car buyers with optimal loan products and insurance packages from a panel of leading bank and non-bank lenders.

However, managing these high-volume applications through generic tools created operational gridlock. Brokers had to manually copy applicant income data, asset details, credit scores, and vehicle specifications across separate forms for each prospective lender.

This manual entry resulted in frequent typographical errors, mismatched customer details, and rejected submissions that required time-consuming revisions. Furthermore, leadership lacked real-time visibility into application stage progression, conversion bottlenecks, and broker productivity metrics.

Absence of automated workflows across loan and insurance pipelines dragging down broker productivity.

Manual multi-page application entries leading to high error rates and delayed lender approvals.

Lack of real-time pipeline reporting preventing leadership from identifying deal drop-off points.

Need to comply strictly with Australian National Consumer Credit Protection (NCCP) documentation rules.
