The Process

One seamless workflow

Brokers, lenders, and merchants get clearer status visibility from intake through funding review.

Before vs After

How Specter changes the workflow.

Specter unifies underwriting, routing, submissions, and status updates in one clean workflow.

Without Specter
Step 1

Manual Document Collection

Chase merchants for docs over email and text.

No standard format. Data scattered across inboxes.

Step 2

Re-enter Per Lender

Every lender wants a different format.

Re-key the same data 3–5 times per deal.

Step 3

Guess-Based Routing

No criteria matching.

Spray deals to every lender you know and hope something sticks.

Step 4

Copy/Paste Submissions

Each submission can become a manual copy-paste job.

One deal may mean several lender emails.

Step 5

Chase for Updates

No visibility after submission.

Chase each lender individually for status.

Step 6

Missed Windows

Slow follow-up can create missed windows.

Deals may expire before your team can act.

FAQ

Workflow questions

Clear answers for brokers, lenders, and operators evaluating Specter's process.

How does Specter move a file from intake to funding?

Specter centralizes merchant intake, document collection, bank-statement workflow support, underwriting communication, lender routing, submission tracking, and funding status so every participant can see the next action.

Does the workflow support both brokers and lenders?

Yes. Brokers can package and route cleaner files, while lenders and underwriting teams can review structured submissions with communication history, missing-info context, and status visibility.

Why is finance-native workflow design important?

Commercial finance teams operate around files, stipulations, statements, offers, lender appetite, and funding movement. A finance-native workflow reduces the translation work that generic CRMs leave to operators.
