The story

Where the five days went

1

The bottleneck

Every equipment deal carries a lease, a Schedule A equipment list, UCC filings and invoices. Before funds go out, someone has to check that they all agree. Done by hand, that review stretched funding to five days.

2

What changed

Kolena's AI agents read the filings and reconcile the Schedule A, the UCC filings and the invoices against each other. Each discrepancy is flagged and cited to the page it came from, so the operations team reviews exceptions instead of every line.

3

The result

UCC filing review labor fell 96%, and funding turnaround went from five days to a few hours. Borrowers get funded faster.

How it works

Every check comes back with its source

Kolena's AI agents compare the documents in each deal file and flag what doesn't match. Each answer links to the page it came from.
