No. Once the application is complete, all customer and equipment information is automatically synced to the lender's system.

Q: How does the sales team find out about approvals or denials?

The system monitors the lender portal daily and sends instant notifications to your sales team via email or Slack when a decision is made, including the approval terms.

Q: Will this work with multiple lenders?

Yes. The automation can submit to multiple lenders and track all applications in parallel.

Q: What if a customer needs to resubmit or update their application?
