Investment Company recently implemented Loan ManagerTM.Beth Lund, President at Palette, states
?Our organization manages an
extensive number of inter-entity loans. Prior to using Windward?s Loan ManagerTM, all
recordkeeping was accomplished using spreadsheets and an online service that
calculated interest rates from manually entered data. The process was extremely cumbersome and
time consuming. Loan ManagerTMwas exactly what we needed to
both automate the accounting process and provide a comprehensive database
and reporting solution. Loan ManagerTMhandles all of the details
automatically with a minimum of manual input. In addition, the Windward
team has been very responsive and has provided various enhancements to address
our unique needs.?
