About the Client
A mid-sized real estate lending and investment firm managing multiple commercial properties and loan portfolios. The client sought a modern, data-driven way to monitor loan covenant compliance—especially the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)—without relying on manual document reviews and spreadsheet calculations.
Challenges Faced
- ● Disconnected loan and financial documents stored in various folders and formats
- ● Manual extraction of key metrics like Net Operating Income (NOI) and Debt Service, leading to inefficiencies and delays
- ● Lack of real-time visibility into property performance or covenant breaches
- ● Repetitive compliance reporting cycles that consumed analyst bandwidth
- ● No centralized dashboard for portfolio-wide monitoring or audit trails
