Daylit case study: the experiences and results below are self-reported by Daylit and the featured business. They describe the original case, not a performance guarantee or a current financing offer.
Introduction:
Hansa, a novel, free tool designed to help small business owners maintain accurate and consistent financial data, had recently been on the lookout for an embedded lending platform to offer loans to its customers. After considering Daylit and Lendflow, two major providers in the industry, Hansa ultimately decided to partner with Daylit. In this article, we will explore the reasons behind this decision and why Daylit's solution proved to be the better choice for Hansa and its customers.
Fully Embedded Solution
One of the primary reasons Hansa chose Daylit over Lendflow is the fully embedded nature of Daylit's solution. Daylit's platform seamlessly integrates with Hansa's existing systems, allowing for a streamlined and user-friendly experience. This means that small business owners can access instant digital loan products directly through Hansa's platform without having to navigate through multiple websites or applications. Daylit’s application can be pre-populated with Hansa’s customer data making it even easier for small businesses to access capital in these trying times.
Daylit's iBranch embeds lending anywhere.
Secure Data Transfer
Data security was a consideration in Hansa’s selection. Evaluate any provider’s documented controls, permissions and contractual responsibilities; this case does not establish that one provider is less secure than another.
Instant Decision Making
Hansa prioritized a streamlined application and decision process. Decision and funding times depend on the applicant, required checks and approved product.
Customization and Scalability
Hansa also prioritized a lending experience that could fit its workflow and user base. Confirm configuration options and capacity through the proposed implementation.
Conclusion:
This Daylit account describes Hansa’s choice and the priorities behind it: an embedded workflow, data handling and a configurable lending experience. It is not an independent benchmark of competing platforms.
