This goal has expanded over the last 16 years, with its solutions having evolved to help tackle other initiatives that are imperative to its clients. These include consulting and advisory services, analytics, customer acquisition, loan originations, account management and collections. Now, GDS Link is a global leader in credit risk management, providing a tailored, customercentric risk management and process automation platform designed for the modern lender in their pursuit to capitalise on the entire credit lifecycle. It works to provide a comprehensive solution that can enhance their processes and, ultimately, their performance. GDS Link’s digital platform is a comprehensive and detailed virtual tool that supports every lending vertical worldwide. Over one billion decisions have been made annually in more than 40 countries. Despite the tool’s power, customers may be stunned to find its users can be fully trained on its full utility in two days. Despite the above, with the addition of the fact it is pre-configured with over 100 data sources (and normalised calculated attributes across numerous sources), it is built with ease of use in mind. This includes a drag-and-drop functionality that requires minimum IT resources and user-created rules, a system designed for users with user input for design decisions. GDS Link’s services are built from years of experience in the industry, enabling it to pick up on what customers and organisations want and need on every possible level (from financial to technical). Additionally, its team’s over a decade and a half of education, experience and insight truly set GDS Link apart. The dedicated team of experts boast decades of industry experience, having helped hundreds of institutions and diverse organisations achieve higher growth while successfully managing risk. The time the team has had to perfect its processes has taught them the folly of attempting to create a one size fits all approach or solution. As such, its industry-specific risk management solutions are highly configured to each client’s needs. Furthermore, the analytics offered are unrivalled by any other solution provider on the market. It competes with other lender-specific technology and solution providers, particularly Provenir and Alloy, but in contrast to these competitors, it provides a personable consultative approach that leverages industry-leading knowledge and expertise, delivering exceptional value and proven results.
