Case study: Automating loan document processing for enhanced decision making


The challenge

A world leading data provider was spending a huge amount of time and resource each month on manual reviews of loan documentation (Master Credit Agreements) covering $100tn in notional amounts, for their customers.

  • Problems with the non-standardised nature of loan documents, as many customers required bespoke language to manage their own unique loan risks.
  • Data keying and quality assurance involved time-consuming manual processes and language interpretation.
  • Long lead times for the client to answer customer queries on facilities.

To overcome these multiple pain points, the data provider set itself the objective of finding an automated data collection solution capable of supporting a 50% reduction in document turnaround time.


Our response

As the leading provider of agreement data capture software, Likezero’s techniques are designed to support and reduce the time spent on loan documentation and provide clients with a golden source of accurate loan documents and data.

Likezero was chosen over and above competitors, as our software was proven to be the only one which could be flexible enough to handle loan documentation complexities, such as multiple facilities under a single agreement and manage the vast variation of negotiated legal clauses.

By utilising automated data matching, capture, and document management, we were able to cut the manual review process by more than half. Major inefficiencies were removed from deal lifecycles, while data accuracy risks and resource implications were greatly diminished.

The client now benefits from a golden source repository of documents and data, together with a digital playbook containing all their customers’ historic legal clauses for rapid insights and analysis, manage risk with bespoke clauses and access better data for portfolio optimisation and the sale process.
