Alfa Start equips our customers with a range of out-of-the-box manual and automated workflows, optimised to meet the needs of the market. To satisfy the specific needs of each of our customers, the Alfa Start methodology promotes targeted customisation to drive efficiency. Drawing on leading-edge technology frameworks, Alfa Start includes tailor-made screens with the option for customers to enable Compose for further customisation following initial implementation.

Providing choice in originations processing for Alfa Start customers, customers have the option to operate a single system that incorporates our powerful Originations, Servicing and Collections capabilities. This is underpinned by a comprehensive catalogue of business processes and industry-standard integrations, which have evolved over time to meet market expectations and leverage the total capability of Alfa Systems 6.

Alfa takes great pride in its ESG credentials, as well as the diversity of its people and customer base. We support our Alfa Start customers on the journey to understand the evolving needs around sustainable business models, exploring additional Alfa Systems 6 features such as enhanced asset lifecycle management. Alfa Start provides preconfigured reports and access to a data-rich platform, allowing our customers to meet the evolving requirements for ESG reporting and emerging market trends.

Through the introduction of our Portfolio Load solution, customers can transfer legacy portfolios onto Alfa Systems through a quick and painless methodology designed to run alongside the Alfa Start implementation. The Alfa Systems platform, on which the preconfigured Alfa Start product is built, provides our customers with opportunities to harness new functionality through additional modules to help your business to grow.

Automation is embedded within the workflows of Alfa Start to provide benefits akin to AI decisions, but allowing our customers a greater element of control and explainability. Alfa Start's out-of-the-box nature provides a business-ready foundation to be built upon by our customers following initial implementation, allowing you to tailor the automation offering to best fit your business needs and efficiency drivers.

Alfa Start draws on the the large catalogue of REST APIs, efficiently designed SPIs, and leading-edge data transfer technology available in Alfa Systems 6 to support integration use cases that cover the end-to-end lifecycle of an asset finance contract. Following initial implementation of the Alfa Start product, Alfa Systems 6’s powerful workflow, webhooks and business rules enable our customers easily to implement and manage integrations directly from Alfa Systems 6 through configuration, eliminating the need for vendor development.
