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

Product workflow questions

What is the Specter workflow built for?

Specter is built for commercial finance teams that need intake, underwriting, document review, lender routing, submissions, communications, and status tracking to operate from one workflow.

How is Specter different from a generic CRM workflow?

Generic CRMs usually track contacts and activities first. Specter is finance-native, so the deal file, bank statements, stipulations, underwriting context, lender decisions, and next actions are part of the operating model.

Which teams benefit most from the product workflow?

Capital brokers, MCA teams, commercial lenders, underwriters, processors, and operators benefit when files need to move quickly from merchant intake to lender-ready submission and funding decision.
