Customer Success Story

Centennial Bank – End-to-end floorplan finance solution

Forbes’ #1 Best Bank in America for 2018 successfully launches CALMS Compass (Solifi) in under four months.

Background

Centennial Bank, headquartered in Conway, Arkansas, provides a broad range of commercial and retail banking and related financial services. As it grew, the bank looked fostered an opportunity to expand its commercial offerings as a floorplan lender to a locally-based lawn and garden equipment manufacturer customer.

To capitalise on this opportunity, expand services for current bank clients and to attract new customers, Centennial Bank began its search for the best next-generation floorplan technology platform.

After an extensive software selection process, Centennial Bank selected Solifi’s CALMS Compass floorplan software as it satisfied strategic, functional, technical and security requirements.

CALMS Compass (Solifi) satisfied strategic, functional, technical and security requirements.

Challenge

Centennial Bank had no legacy systems and was using offline tools to manage a small number of decentralised floorplan loans, including automotive, RV and marine assets. The existing processes for managing this business line had inherent inefficiencies and lacked centralised risk management and broader bank integration.

Centennial Bank required a system that would improve everything it was using – from dealer onboarding to loan visibility throughout the bank, and improving its risk management efficiencies. Dealer self-service and dealer management tools were required to effectively grow the business and provide competitive service levels to existing and prospective customers.
