Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Enabling microfinancing in developing countries and ensuring everyone has the needed resources to sustain their household or build a new successful venture was at the core of the Loan Management development. The system is inspired by how fintech startups changed the financial sector and is designed with a client-centric approach.
Even though the product has all the features and legal requirements of being used in developed economies, its potential is better leveraged in societies where the resources are scarce since it automatizes most of the mandatory processes and reduces the response times, swiftly conceding credit to the ones in need.
From the financial organization POV, Loan Management also has its advantages: it reduces operative costs, makes sure the organization is compliant with the legislation, and identifies, measures, keeps track and controls the portfolio’s exposure.

Given the multiple variables at stake, having a holistic view of a country’s revenue/tax collection and expenditures can be challenging. However, not having a vision of the balance can be a more demanding challenge for decision-makers. Quidgest’s approach on this subject is complex but simple to understand: centralize all the information in a single platform by providing common ground corporate services.
Individual departments usually carried out something that is now done a single time, reducing unnecessary duplication of effort, harmonizing policies, and consolidating relevant data under a single umbrella platform. Transparency, international credibility, and better resource management are some of the benefits of Quidgest’s Public Finance Shared Services solution.
