Finastra and FlashSpread team to revolutionize financial spreading
Available on-prem or in the cloud, access the tools to help improve accuracy, reduce workload, make better decisions, accelerate closings, and increase profitability.
Better statement spreading leads to better results
For many financial institutions, the standardization of financial statements remains a manual, repetitive process rife with the potential for delays and costly errors. Compounding these risks, a commercial loan may require over a dozen statements be analyzed in a consistent and uniform manner and be compiled simultaneously, which can be a significant drain on resources. Deploying automation – requiring little to no human intervention – produces more accurate spreads in a fraction of the time ordinarily spent on this manual task. Ultimately, it enables lenders to make data-driven credit decisions in real time, and enables a more thorough, detailed analysis of the risks and opportunities a new loan may present.
There is a better way
Finastra recognizes the significant opportunities that automated spreading presents and has partnered with industry-leader FlashSpread to deliver a fully-integrated SaaS solution. FlashSpread processes tax returns in less than 1 minute on average, and can often spread an entire deal in under 5 minutes – as much as 96% faster than doing it manually. And if the source documents are not high quality, FlashSpread even handles scans with low DPI (dots per linear inch) in printed documents, watermarks, hole punches, rotations, etc. In addition, the solution can identify incorrect values and manually adjust them, ensuring 100% confidence in data accuracy. FlashSpread further offers a validation tool to allow users to edit any values in the tax return and reports, while viewing the original file side-by-side.
FlashSpread saves 458 hours per year, per underwriter, resulting in a 22% productivity gain and a 96% reduction in processing time.
