Customers are increasingly looking for immediate answers from banks for credit simulations, so that they can set out credible levels of their indebtedness capability.

In these situations a financial entity that allows the customer to independently simulate the regular amount they will have to repay for credit to buy a car or a house, will be at a competitive advantage over other institutions since they are able to be immediately present in the pre-sale stage.

Features

dWare Simul is an engine based on rules and workflow for the simulation of different financial credit and insurance products.

It primarily answers two needs of financial institutions:

• Facilitates the pre-sale of products in non face-to-face channels, through the provision of web applications integrated into web or mobile portals of the financial institution or third-party solutions such as, for example, the integration of a simulator in the portal of a car dealership.
Equip the financial institution with a simulation tool that is easily configurable for direct sales services.
• It is an open and extensible platform capable of incorporating the specific rules of each financial institution. The modular architecture allows it to be easily integrated with existing backend systems of the institution, for example, scoring systems, CRM, mapping rules associated with structured products, platforms for submitting and contracting proposals.

  • Simple - Immediate simulations with default values for the presentation of example simulations.
  • Public Channels - Detailed simulations to be carried out over the internet by the general public but with restrictions on the level of parameterized rates and conditions.
  • Agencies or Resellers - Simulations that can be customized and with the possibility of changes to credit conditions (spreads, cross-selling, commissions, residual values, etc.)
  • Export Service - Possibility of export of service (webservice or application) for integration into third party systems to facilitate pre-sale in commercial partners (e.g. real estate, insurance, car dealership,, electrical appliances store, etc.).
