Revolutionizing Corporate Credit Assessment

Development and Implementation of a Modern Credit Simulator for a Leading Romanian Bank.

Synergo - full service web & mobile solutions team.

The project involved developing a Corporate Credit Simulator for a leading Romanian bank, aiming to enhance the credit assessment process for corporate clients. The bank’s existing tool, an Excel-based application, was outdated, difficult to use, and lacked integration capabilities with the bank’s existing systems. The tool’s limitations included a lack of user-friendliness and an inability to support a structured pricing approval workflow.

Additionally, only one individual had comprehensive knowledge of the tool, and there was no existing documentation, posing a significant risk to the continuity of the process.
