How Brillio modernized originations for a global captive auto finance company

  • A global captive auto finance company sought to replace fragmented legacy originations systems with a unified, automation-first platform.
  • Disconnected credit and funding workflows limited decisioning speed, scalability, and consistency across dealers, analysts, consumers, and employee touchpoints.
  • Brillio built a Salesforce-based Agent UI portal with automated and manual decisioning, integrated with major credit bureaus for faster approvals.
  • Agent wait times dropped by 30% and engineering velocity accelerated by 75% through the co-innovation delivery model.

From fragmented legacy systems to a unified originations experience

Building an automation-first originations platform

The company’s existing originations landscape supported critical business functions, but the broader ambition was clear: build a modern platform that could unify credit and funding flows, support multiple personas, reduce manual effort, and enable faster, more accurate decisioning.

The new platform was designed as the foundation for the company’s dealer operations technology; a single layer connecting dealers, consumers, credit and funding analysts, and employee users through consistent data and applications. Beyond replicating traditional credit and funding systems, the program set out to introduce a more automation-first, experience-led model.

The modernization effort was built around several core principles: unify credit and funding into a single flow across products; enable channel-agnostic origination for future expansion; validate data at the source to reduce manual work; and use internal and third-party data to improve decisioning and funding outcomes.

MVP: Two client imperatives that needed addressal

The initial MVP scope focused on two critical capabilities: automated decisioning and manual decisioning.

  • For automated decisioning, Brillio integrated the platform with a major credit bureau to accelerate loan approvals. This laid the foundation for faster, data-driven credit decisions and supported the client’s long-term goal of increasing auto-decisioning rates.
  • For manual decisioning, Brillio delivered an Agent UI Portal designed to support complex loan cases that require analyst review. Built on Salesforce, the portal gave credit analysts an intuitive workflow to review applications, capture decisions, and process exceptions with greater accuracy and compliance.

Behind the experience layer, Brillio modernized core backend services for manual loan decisioning, including API-layer development, orchestrator events, downstream service integrations, automated functional testing, end-to-end system testing, smoke testing, and a unified logging framework to strengthen reliability and traceability.

Brillio also began future-ready enhancements for the next phase, including credit bureau pre-pricing calculations, application re-decisioning, and open lending capabilities. 

A model built for speed, quality, and shared ownership

Together with the client, Brillio followed a co-innovation approach, operating as a single integrated product team under the modernization program. Rather than a traditional vendor-led delivery model, both teams aligned around shared ownership of outcomes, transparent agile ceremonies, and co-managed backlogs.

This approach kept quality, speed-to-market, and production readiness at the center of execution. Brillio implemented automated decisioning across multiple credit bureaus, with shared rule governance and exception-handling capabilities. In parallel, the teams enabled manual decisioning paths for the complex cases that required analyst intervention.

The Salesforce-based Agent UI/UX portal became a key enabler of this operating model, giving analysts a streamlined interface for end-to-end application review, decision capture, and policy-compliant processing. Brillio embedded quality engineering as a shared discipline from day one. A rigorous end-to-end testing model, supported by automation-first smoke and regression suites, controlled test data, service validation, and user journey testing, ensured parity with legacy outcomes while preparing the platform for production.

Delivering quantifiable impact through MVP1

  • Achieved 99% accuracy match with the legacy system on credit bureau pre-pricing, validating the platform’s decisioning logic and quality.
  • Reduced agent wait time by 30% per manual decisioning transaction, directly improving the analyst experience and accelerating application processing.
  • Increased engineering velocity by 75% over 10 months, with 30%+ productivity gains from effective Copilot adoption across the development lifecycle.
  • Delivered approximately $500,000 in cloud license cost savings through a custom implementation approach, reducing overhead with automation-first engineering practices.

When fragmented originations systems limit speed and scalability

When credit and funding workflows operate in silos across legacy systems, every loan decision carries inefficiency. For a global auto finance company supporting dealers and analysts across international markets, unifying originations into a single platform is not a technical preference. It is an operational imperative for faster, smarter lending.
