Have you heard of technological fragmentation? In many financial institutions—especially cooperatives, fintechs, and foundations—it is common for the credit origination process to be spread across multiple tools: one system for forms, another for identity validation, another for scoring, yet another for signing promissory notes, and finally the core banking system where everything is stored.

At first glance, this may seem like a “modular” way of operating. But in reality, it is fragmentation, and it comes at a very high cost: in efficiency, time, errors… and the end-user experience.

⚠️ What does fragmentation look like in practice?

Let’s look at a realistic example of what happens in many institutions:

1. A basic web form collects data from the applicant.
2. Biometric validation is done from other software, with a different provider.
3. Scoring is calculated in an Excel spreadsheet or external software.
4. The promissory note is signed physically or requires a different platform.
5. Finally, everything is transcribed to the banking core, sometimes manually.

Result:
🔄 Duplication of tasks,
⏳ wasted time,
💸 human error,
🔐 security risk,
📉 and poor user experience.

💰 The hidden costs of working with disconnected platforms

Although it is not always visible in Excel, technological fragmentation generates real costs. Some of the most common are:

1. Time wasted switching between tools

Switching from one platform to another means more minutes per credit. If you originate hundreds or thousands per month, the impact is exponential.

2. Errors due to transcription or manual uploading

Every time data is transferred from one platform to another without automation, there is a risk of errors that affect the validation, analysis, and legality of the loan.

3. Lack of traceability

Where did the loan get stuck? Who did the validation? At what stage was the process abandoned? When everything is scattered, there is no complete visibility of the cycle.

4. Poor user experience

The applicant must wait, repeat information, or even, in the worst case scenario, download several apps. This increases abandonment and damages the institution’s reputation.

5. High maintenance costs

Maintaining, integrating, and training teams on five platforms generates more expenses than investing in a single robust and flexible solution.

🧠 So, what is the solution?

The answer is not to eliminate modularity, but to centralize it intelligently. That is, use a modular and integrated platform that allows you to manage each stage of the credit process without jumping between incompatible tools.
